Multiple Subcategories Under Main Category

PhotosbyMeg

I use SmugMug Pro. How do I (or can I) create multiple subcategories under a main category. For example, I have multiple weddings I've done. Under the main Wedding Category I want to be able to link to Bob & Sue, Jane and Dan, etc.

You have 2 different ways to create a sub-category. You can go to your Control Panel -> Customize and under Organize you will see this: https://skitch.com/heroofcanton/ff2b2/ which will take you to this screen: https://skitch.com/heroofcanton/ff2b4/ and you can add sub-categories to your Parent Categories. In your case, you would select Wedding and create a sub-category for each client.

If you already have galleries created that you would like to put in a sub-category, simply go to that gallery and click on Tools -> Gallery Settings and change this: https://skitch.com/heroofcanton/ff2ny/ to the sub-category of your choice.

You can also create sub-categories when you upload photos as you can see here: https://skitch.com/heroofcanton/ff2nj/

Let me know if that answers your questions

Can't Upload to Subcategories
Now I've created the subcategories; however, when "upload" and "weddings" it still only shows one category. I also can not choose to move pictures to the different/new subcategories. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Meg,

I took a look at your site and I can only see two sub-categories under the Weddings category, Clients and Examples. I'm not sure what you mean by "however, when "upload" and "weddings" it still only shows one category", can you expound on that a little more?

To move a gallery to a different sub-category, go into that gallery and then click on Tools -> Gallery Settings and change this: https://skitch.com/heroofcanton/ff2ny/
