Have a gallery shell (no photos yet), 8 albums with 7 subalbums each. Effervescence-plus tweaked. 2-3 plug-ins. It's slow on load every time, 8 seconds MacOSX Safari4.0, 8 seconds MacOSX Firefox3.5, 8 seconds PC Internet Explorer. Pretty consistent.

Any ideas?

Pretty old version of ZP.

I just downloaded it a couple days ago.... I see ZP 1.4.1.1, can I just update to that?

Yes. Where did you download from? 1.3.1.2 is almost a year old.

Anyway, there have probably been changes to the themes since then, so first try with an unmodified version of Effervescence+. Also, put some images in your albums. It may sound strange but it probably takes longer to generate thumbnails when ZP has to search everywhere for images.

Great, thanks. I used the updater and having difficulty with the host. It's all set and I had them turn register_globals:off but still getting an error msg. We're working on it.

The 1.3.1.2 was loaded with Simple Scripts through my host, iPage.com

This is the error msg. I get, even after the host says the settings have been changed. Any ideas?

Error!
PHP Register globals presents a security risk to any PHP application. See Using Register Globals. Zenphoto refuses to operate under these conditions. Change your PHP.ini settings to register_globals = off.

If you "think" you have set this to `off` please check again. Probably you have set it to the string "off" which is not the same as the constant `off` (no quotation marks.)

I'll check with the host, iPage...I guess they control the PHP.ini file.

FYI, it's resolved. Here's from the host:

"Please note, you do have access to your php.ini file by going to CGI and Scripted Language Support and then PHP Scripting. I noticed register_globals was set Off when it should have been off (lowercase o)."
