Being a newbee to the new SmugMug....they helped as much as they could. Then they said to join you.D
I've tried some of their suggestions and codes for my gallery page but couldn't get it to implement.
Can you help?
I want the title (larger) and caption underneath (smaller) the image bold and or colored. They gave me a couple of codes....but I don't kow the codes for specific colors.
I'm sure if I hve more questions you will direct me to the proper local to post.

Hi Chuck and a warm welcome to Smug! You might get more response from others if you post a new thread in this section. This thread is really just a list of customization references. Just start a new thread, give it a title, and copy into it what you typed above. It might also help to give a link to your site, if you have made it public at this stage.
Mike, thank you for these ideas. Two questions: I'm not quite understanding what the splash page example (with the 4 images) is doing. Is there a place to see it in action? Also, what does "EU" stand for, in the one customization? Thanks!

Some of those customizations are brought on because a member here wanted to something they saw on a non-Smugmug site. I figured I'd just add those here. I don't have any "live" examples of the splash page.
The 'EU' is "European Union", and it really didn't work 100%. Since I posted that, Smugmug made some changes (for the European clients) so it worked as it should. I should remove it.
Hide keywords only when I'm logged-out
I used to have keywords showing in galleries only when I was logged-in. I'd like to have the same functionality again. I used some code to hide keywords recently, but it hides them when I'm logged-in as well. I have a copy of my old SmugMug code, but am not at all clear which stuff will work here in New SmugMug (or with minor adjustments). Here's the code I used, which needs a tweak to hide keywords (from displaying on galleries, site-wide) only when logged out. Thanks!
/* Hide the keywords from displaying on galleries */ .sm-tile-keywords { display: none; }

Try this
/* Hide the keywords from displaying on galleries */
.sm-tile-keywords { display: none; }
.sm-user-owner .sm-tile-keywords { display: block; }
Still that old problem that if keywords are hidden, that the search sites can't adequately crawl and collect the right info to rank one's site. Or has that been fixed somehow?

I've wondered the same thing, David-- and also, have wondered about the current status of RCP's effect on SEO & Image searches. We had quite a ruckus about that awhile back, & honestly it was never resolved as far as what SmugMug meant to do with it, should do with it, and what they're communicating to us about it. I stopped talking about it, but did not stop thinking / wondering about it. RIght now, keywords showing really makes some displays ugly imho, & I don't have much reason to have them showing under each photo since I have plenty of ways people can still search them. But yes, it's always a balance between appearance, functionality, & SEO. Sometimes I care more about one or the other! I guess this is stuff for a different forum though...
Thank you kindly, Al ! That did the trick on all but the lightbox view, as far as I can tell. Keywords are still showing in lightbox, even if I'm logged out. I'd like them to only show when I'm logged in.

Since I get worried about demoting keyword display to nothing at all (SEO reasons), I have done nothing about it. How about displaying keywords (only) down to 1pt text size and also displaying their color value similar to the background lightbox color? Visible, sort of, but not to the average site visitor. Code for that would be quite useful and effective, I'd imagine.

Bad idea. You run the risk of being penalized by Google for doing that.
Thanks again. That worked to hide keywords in lightbox. I added the following code to show them in lightbox when I'm logged in, and amazingly, it worked. I also added a semi-colon after your "none", because it seems to me there always is one? Idk, I'm a copy-paste monkey right now, but trying to be at least a little observant so I can do more of this myself.
That's what I thought originally, from my hours of pasting code back when I was customizing Legacy. In fact, I thought it was wrong to have a semi-colon for the last thing in the list. But then I was looking through my code today & lots of last items have one. So I guess it's not wrong. Well, anyway, the "display: none" wasn't the last item anymore, so I guess in that case it's good I added it. Gee I'm becoming such a pro. NOt. At least I managed to hatch a son who's a programmer, so maybe there are some latent genes in me... I do have some code I installed earlier this eve that's not working though. Guess I need to inspect it. It was from the "Frequently requested..." list, the code to change the RCP text. Now when I right-click, nothing at all happens. There's no pop-up message at all, not even the old one. Hmm.
A little trick if you want to apply things like down chevrons to the smugmug horizontal navigation without having to do things like nth-child() in the css:
Then the chevron will only appear if the navigation element has children. Note that you must have the Fontawesome font linked from a CDN.
How this works is that you are using the :has to see if the .sm-page-widget-nav-toplink contains a .yui3-menu-children inside it. And if it does, then the ::after is used. If not, nothing. Quite handy.

Apologies - cannot see how to make the line breaks in the code work.
Wrap your code in three back-ticks and not one....
Cheers, much better. I just updated the post and put the note about fontawesome which I assumed would be obvious - probably because I work with that all the time. Modern HTML and CSS makes things very easy.

What I've learned here (helping people) is a lot of people will copy/paste. If you don't tell them to upload the font, they won't.

The keywords are still there though. Bad to change text color? Or size?

.horizontal .sm-page-widget-nav-toplink:has(.yui3-menu-children) > a::after{ content: '\f078'; font-family: "FontAwesome"; font-weight: 900; margin-right:4em; float:right; }Then the chevron will only appear if the navigation element has children.
