Unlisted, Password Protected Gallery Issue

Hello,

I am having issues with password protected, unlisted galleries. For example, a proof gallery for my client is unlisted and password protected. If I am logged into SM, everything runs just fine. When I enter the password (while not being logged into SM), this is what displays:

Does anyone know why this would happen? Many many thanks for any insight!

    You have to go in and set a photo for the folder that contains the gallery/galleries.

    If you open a folder then select customize / folder up top, it'll give you the option to set a thumb for the folder.

    It's easier done, than I explained it, I'm sure.

    I had to do the same thing...it's kind of a pain in the butt, especially if you have a bunch to do.

    If you go to Organize site, you can do all your galleries at one time. It's one of the coolest features that I've found so far.

    I found that out too.

    Jeffro and Cygnus Studios, thank you so much for coming to my rescue!

    But even thought this is easy-there is something I'm still missing.
    Are you referring to the 'featured image' section in the basic folder settings?

    Here is where I am, and after selecting an image, the gallery still doesn't display the thumbs. I didn't see anything referring to setting a 'thumb' for the folder.

    Below is a screenshot of attempting to do this in the Organize Site section as Cygnus suggested...

    You have to select a thumb for each protected gallery too.

    What I did was pick the main folder, select all, click settings, chose a feature image, and a pop up says you are doing this to multiple galleries, click yes and it's done.

    I loved this feature as I did all 160 galleries with one step.
