Why am I receiving an 'empty page' warning?

The empty page warning can sometimes appear when in fact the page isn't empty.

This is usually caused by one of two possible situations:

  • A photo has been applied as a background to the page. Seeing as it's a background, the editor doesn't see it as being content on that page and if there are no other photos on the page, then the editor thinks it's empty or blank.
  • A photo has been spread across two pages. The editor first anchors the photo to the first page and doesn't see it existing on the second page which is recognised as blank/empty.

The warning is displayed to bring your attention to the page.

If the page appears correctly in the work area and the 'Preview' function of the editor, you can safely ignore these warnings and continue with the ordering process.

Please note, due to our highly automated system and variable page allowance it is impossible for our production system to recognise blank pages that are unwanted. Therefore if you have any blank pages in your project at the time of upload, please be aware that they will be bound into your album.

You can delete unwanted pages by selecting them, then either 'Page' from the top menu then 'Delete', or 'Ctrl-D' on your keyboard. Pages are only able to be deleted in pairs also.

If you are unable to delete pages, then it is likely you have reached our binding minimum for the album you have created. The number of pages we allow in our albums is based on the binding process we use. Any more less pages will result in a less than satisfactory binding of your album that we are unwilling to provide.
