Slideshow page - unlisted gallery showing up

I set up a duplicate homepage which I use as a Slideshow. I have an unlisted 'slideshow images' gallery as a sub-gallery of my admin gallery. I have 'collected' images from various galleries site wide and saved them to the slideshow images gallery.

I had 'Click to Image' ticked in the slideshow settings and until very recently clicking on any of the Slideshow images would take me to the gallery where the original was located, now it takes me to the Slideshow gallery which is not what I want. I don't want the 'Slideshow Images' gallery to be visible as a gallery, just the images it contains. It is an unlisted Gallery so surely it shouldn't show up?

I am wondering why it has changed and if I can do anything to change it back :scratch

Thank you

    Click to Image goes to the gallery that you're drawing the images from whether it's listed or unlisted. That's the way it is designed. It goes to the gallery that you're drawing the images from (collected, unlisted, etc...).

    If you don't want click to image at all, then disable that feature of the slideshow. If you want click to image to go to the original gallery, then you will have to use keywords to drive your slideshow and NOT use a collected gallery. Then, you will be drawing images from the original galleries so the click to image will go to the original gallery.

    Ah, thanks, I was wrong in thinking that it went to the source of the original instead of the copy. I must have 'mis-remembered'. That seems to happen to me a lot lately! I have already disabled Click to Image and will leave it like that as I don't use or like keywords.

    Many thanks
