I'm having problems with my Gallery3 Clean Canvas album images showing up. I did a total new install and the problem still exists. It worked fine up until a couple of days ago. When you click on the album, it does display the images inside.
Here's a link to my page... http://www.pfoproductions.com/gallery3/index.php

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin

Something must have changed on your host.

You can try adding this to your gallery's .htaccess file

<FilesMatch ".album.jpg">
Order deny,allow
</FilesMatch>

That doesn't seem to work. I contacted my hosting service and this is the reply they sent me...

The issue with images not apearing in your Gallery application at http://pfoproductions.com/gallery3/ seems to be application related. Only the thumbnails in the page are not coming up since they are associated with the image '.album.jpg' located at '/public_html/Activesite/pfoproductions/gallery3/var/thumbs/Product-Photography'. Please rename the image '.album.jpg' to a valid file name such as 'album.jpg' and make necessary changes by contacting the application vendor in order to fix the issue with thumbnails in your website.

You have run into this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/1443
'.album.jpg' is a valid file name. But i guess your host has a different thought. '.album.jpg' works on 100s of other hosts.

Thanks for the quick responses. Still can't get album thumbnails to appear. I am not a programmer or coder so I'm not sure how to implement some of the suggestions.
Like this one...
<IfModule?><FilesMatch? ".album.jpg">
Order deny,allow
</FilesMatch></IfModule>

Am I supposed to replace the "?" after IfModule with something else?
Or where do I put this code within the .htaccess file?
And if nothing works, can you recommend a hosting service where Gallery3 works?
I've been with my current host for over 15 years using Gallery. Why it stopped working now is a mystery, and them pushing it off as a Gallery problem is just ridiculous.

If the suggestion that jnash suggested does not work your going to have to wait for a fix or find a host that does not have such a restriction.
