Can I bulk remove keywords?

dberthia

Hello- I just created a trial account and transferred 4000+ images in 150+ galleries from Flickr using Smugglr. Unfortunately, also imported were a large number of keywords I do not want to use on SmugMug. Is there a quick way to bulk remove keywords? Ideally, I'd like to select a keyword(s) and tell SmugMug to remove it from all photos, and then delete the keyword itself so it never appears again. Is this doable?

Yes,
It's fairly easy too.
In a gallery go to Tools->Caption/Keyword.
In the quick entry you can remove a specific text or completely empty the keywords.
Works also for captions

Will this remove they keyword from ALL galleries, or just the selected gallery? I'm looking for a global remove across all galleries.

Hi Dave,

You could just click on a keyword to go to the keyword gallery. It'll display all photos for the keyword. Now click on Tools > many photos > caption/keyword . That allows you to edit the captions and keywords for all photos with the keyword. That should work with up to 500 photos, but it might take a while for the page to load.

Take a look at the top box that allows you to clear out the keyword field among other things (quick entry). Check the quick entry section here.

That's just for the gallery. See my suggestion to do it for a keyword at a tine across your whole site. It depends on how many galleries and keywords you have on which option is faster.

Thank you!
