X3Photo Gallery Forums

Tried everything in the documentation as well as what was posted here and still can't get the menu to show. My site is www.never4get.com. Here are my ini files. Aside from this problem it does not appear as if any of my ini updates are taking affect. I am overwriting these files in the root directory. Perhaps these need to be placed elsewhere? Thanks in advance. I know I am doing something stupid!

Yes. I did everything in the instructions as well as reviewed other posts in the forum.

Turns out that you need to change the ini files in the template folder. I was using the carbon template but there are ini files dedicated to each. I was updating the ini files in my Upload Folder. So in short to to all: you need to edit the config file in the template folder but as I found out later you need to update the sitemenu file that resides in the root directory to affect menu changes.
