URL Address change when Album name changes

ightenhill

Is it possible or is there a way (other than creating a new album and moving everything) of having the web address for an album change when you change the title of an album? Currently it keeps the old title in the web address.

Did you change the nice name for the gallery? That is the name that is used in the URL.

This is what Easy Customizer generated. Notice the mixture of nickname and domain links?

The best way to solve this is switch to relative links. In ECZ enter the link as shown below after the >>.
A relative link leaves off the leading part and starts with the first / and everything after it. In
your case most are to a category. Home is just a /.
example:
<li><a href="[strike]http://mikepmcs.smugmug.com[/strike]/Events">ENTERTAINMENT/BANDS</a></li>

You have hardcoded your Events and your Portfolio galleries with your SmugMug address - you need to change that in your navbar code to be just like your other links with your custom domain.
