    Hi,

    I have a strange issue whereby upon installing XenGallery for the first time if I click on the top "Gallery" nav tab it sends me to my Showcase section do you have any idea what I have done or how I can fix it?

    I can use the drop down menu in the Gallery tab and access albums, categories, etc but if the nav nab itself is clicked my showcase section comes up...

    Hello,

    I am sorry but I do not understand "showcase". Could you take a screenshot please?

    I also use the Showcase addon by Bob... When I click on the Gallery tab it goes to the Showcase not Gallery (see image)

    Can you share me an account there?

    Not sure what you mean by share account there Sonnb? Do you mean log you in my forum?

    Yes. That is what I mean. Just a normal account which can see the gallery for testing.

    Sure mate, try this:

    Username - test

    Password - demo

    I see the status of http://www.selfsufficientculture.com/gallery/ is: 301 Moved Permanently. Could you please check if htaccess has something like that?

    I still can access individual albums and photos so it seem to be happened on Gallery index only.

    I can't see anything in the htaccess file but about a year ago I converted my site from VB and was using photopost gallery perhaps there's some redirect from that somewhere?

    Yes. Of course. If you can not find out, I could help if you send me FTP information via conversation.

    Your .htaccess does have redirection. Please considering remove following lines:
    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^selfsufficientculture\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.selfsufficientculture\.com$
    RewriteRule ^gallery\/index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.selfsufficientculture\.com\/showcase\/" [R=301,L]
    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^selfsufficientculture\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.selfsufficientculture\.com$
    RewriteRule ^gallery\/$ "http\:\/\/www\.selfsufficientculture\.com\/showcase\/" [R=301,L]

    Thanks Sonnb, that worked. I initially looked at the htaccess txt doc (forgot to tick show hidden files) stupid me... I'm still learning :)

    I appreciate your help and am looking forward to using your master piece of an addon! There's lots of features and it's very well thought out and constructed well done.

    Cheers, Mark
