Change existing category to subcategory?

acaurora

Hi all,

Was just wondering if it is possible to move an existing category full of galleries into a subcategory of galleries. To illustrate:

I have a category called races, and within that category, I have multiple subcategories, each with their own galleries, so it goes for example:

Races (Category) -> <Date> Race name (Subcategory) -> Galleries (multiple)

I want it to be such that it is the following instead:

Races (Category) -> Year (Subcategory) -> <Date> Race name (Subcategory) -> Galleries (multiple)

Is this doable with the initial setup already in place? Or do I need to entirely delete/reupload everything?

Thanks!

In today's Smugmug, you can only have:

category --> subcategory --> galleries

You can't have:

category --> subcategory --> subcategory --> galleries

So, you can't make the change you asked about because Smugmug doesn't have that many levels.

You never have to reupload to change categorization. The gallery settings for a gallery have the category and sub-category right there so you can just reclassify an existing gallery at any time without reupload. But, you have to live within the levels that Smugmug currently has.

The only way I can think of is to create a virtual top level/landing page for these categories.
I have an example here and here where you would list/link each category. This would virtually give you
another level.
