Collecting photos from private galleries

loza

I have several private galleries that do not show up on my site. I have collected photos from these galleries and the collected photos are in folders/galleries that are public.

The image I've selected to be the featured image for the gallery doesn't show up - instead you get a broken image placeholder in it's place. Also, when you click on the gallery to view all images, it appears as empty.

What I want to happen is to hide certain folders/galleries completely from my site, but to collect images from those hidden folders/galleries and make those collected images visible without copying them over into new galleries. Is there a way for me to do this?

Only you see a "private" gallery when logged in. No one or nothing else sees it or it's contents.
If you changed the gallery to unlisted with external linking on then the photos could be collected
or used for featured photos..

Thanks, Allen. If I have an unlisted gallery with external linking and I don't provide a link to anyone that points to that gallery, is there any way for people to discover it if I've collected photos from it and those photos live in galleries that are public?
