Aperture keywords not appearing in Smugmug

I've tried a few things, but I cannot get Aperture keywords to appear in my pictures in Smugmug.

1. I add keywords in Aperture and export the photo. I confirm that the keywords are there by using the Get info command in Finder. Once uploaded to Smugmug, I look at the Keywords tab, and nothing is there. The caption does upload, however.

2. I tried exporting using the SmuginPro for Aperture plugin, and the keywords appear in the plugin, but when exported, the keywords do not appear in Smugmug. I've tried all the options in the plugin to no avail.

So, nothing I do seems to get keywords imported into Smugmug.

Is there something else I can try?

    Can you include a link to a specific gallery on your site where you're sure that keywords are included in the files so we could take a closer look?

    Thanks for the help.

    Here is a picture with one keyword. I've also included a screenshot of Aperture and Spotlight showing the keyword successfully exported. Same result when I use SmuginPro.

    Test Gallery


    In case it matters:

    OS 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.1

    The keyword is there just fine - check out the "caption / keyword" tool in the Tools
    It's not showing because you have set the gallery to hide owner yes. That makes the gallery appear as a generic SmugMug gallery with no links back to your site and that setting also prevents keywords from showing. Just disable the setting in the gallery settings > security&privacy section.
