I'm new to smugmug and wanted to know if a photos can be exist in multiple galleries at the same time?

I poked around the forums and help first, but didn't find an exact answer.

Thanks for the smugmug community! I've learned lots here.

    No.

    For most cases where you might want a photo in multiple galleries, keyword galleries are a suitable solution. However, if you need genuine galleries, then you have to either upload the photo twice, or make a copy of the photo, and move the copy to the other gallery.

    Smugmug are working on a "virtual gallery" feature, which will provide this capability, but there is no predicted release date (and I personally don't expect it for at least another 6 months).

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I don't like the idea of having multiple shots of the same image.

    Hadn't thought about the keyword galleries option which might work for me. I'm trying to make a wordpress page with kid shots using Adam's wp-smugmug.


    I'm assuming that you can't make individual photos-"public" inside a "private" gallery.

    Thank you!

    As long as external links are on in a gallery you can link to a photo whether
    the gallery is unlisted or password protected.
