Looking for a friendlier URL

lightgal

Hi all. I'm SO close to getting a Portfolio or Business account, have been for years. I really really want to get off my WordPress site and move here. One thing keeps tripping me up.

I would like the URLs to specific photos to look like...
http://lightgal.smugmug.com/southwest/grand-canyon-sunrise/A
http://lightgal.smugmug.com/architecture/hoover-dam-at-night/A

...not...

http://lightgal.smugmug.com/southwest/o-GmfsTn7/A
http://lightgal.smugmug.com/architecture/p-DrhxFv4/A

I hope this makes sense. The "/A" at the end does not bother me. It's the randomly-generated variable in the URL itself. Is there any way at all to make this friendlier?

Thank you so much guys!

I don't understand your question, especially because the links you provided don't work.

I would think twice about ditching your Wordpress site. I use Wordpress for my main site and my blog. I set up a sub-domain for my Smugmug site. Best of both worlds.

Normally you would not see the /A at the end, never seen that on my own site. The text "southwest" would be a folder, the text "grand-canyon-sunrise" would be a gallery.

The "random" Text at the end is for "unlisted" folders, galleries or pages. If you keep all your folders and galleries public then you will not get these kind of URLs.
If you open a folder which is set to "unlisted" then you will get the URLs like above. In Your example the folder "southwest" is unlisted.

These are the URLs for the photo once it has been loaded into the full-screen lightbox, right? Unfortunately, the "i-2jfa45" random IDs are required to uniquely identify and locate the image, and can't currently be made any prettier (there is no per-image "nicename" like is settable for galleries).
