Search options

Thanks!  That fixed the http issue in the og tags. 

It looks like there's more going on here than I can figure out.  Bing and Google let you view the page source after you do a "Live Test" and in both cases the image info from the SEO block is not there, but it is clearly there when I look at the source in my browser.  I have a Wordpress blog under that same domain and search engines pickup every image and tag from the blog with no problem.   I also have a Piwigo site with images that get picked up by search engines.  I think it's possible search engines have changed their policy to no longer collect image info from inside a noscript block and there might not be a solution if that's the case.

In any case, I do appreciate all the time you put into helping me resolve the http and www issue.  Your support for Showkase has always been topnotch and I appreciate that.

I think I just now figured it out.

I noticed the date of the showkaseconfig.ini was old, so I must have pulled the wrong one when I copied it into the web root directory or maybe I copied it over before I ran the setup again.  Anyway, I copied over the showkaseconfig.ini file again, this one with today's timestamp, and that fixed it.  I just knew it would be because of some dumb mistake I made. 

Anyway, sorry to put you through this.  Obviously, when I was running setup, I wasn't updating the showkase config file in the web root directory, so I wasn't solving the problem.  Also, the original server DOES have the showcaseconfig file in the web root directory, so I was wrong about that as well.

Bottom line is that I am now up and running and apologize again for wasting your time on a rather dumb mistake.

I will update to the latest version after I verify that everything is good.  I do love this software.  It's been very good to me.

My main site will continue to use Showkase, but I am about to create a new gallery site to host the more amateur-ish pictures that I currently have on Flickr (which was just sold to Smug Mug).  I had even run the sktest on it to prep it for Showkase, but then decided I wanted comments and possibly ratings.  From what I gather, that is not a capability that Showkase has.  If I'm wrong on that, please let me know.  Otherwise, thanks again and best wishes going forward.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this.  I think I figured it out and now I'm embarrassed for not thinking of this.

I have KeePass Helper installed on my browser which modifies the page title to make sure my KeePass password safe recognizes what website I'm visiting so it knows what password to use.  It apparently interferes with the way the favicon displays on the tab.  After I disabled it, the icon displayed correctly.   I installed that app so long ago I forgot about it.

My apologies for dragging you down this rabbit hole.  I was afraid it might turn out to be something stupid like this.

By the way, so far I have been extremely impressed with ShowKase.  It works perfectly for me and I love all the config options.  I also like that it doesn't break whenever there's a Wordpress update like my last web gallery experiment.

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for the reply Steven.

I found the file and code.  It was just as you described.  I have v1.6.1.
I pasted in the line of code using Notepad++ and dropped the ico file into the web root directory, but it doesn't seem to work.  I also tried dropping the ICO file into the main showcase directory), but that didn't help either.

I'll keep working at it to try and figure out what I'm doing wrong.
