Got it!

MRudland

Yet another stupid question. I have three drop down menus at the top of my page (www.auphoto.net) How do i get them to stand side by side on the page rather than one below the other?

I see the menu is in the left side bar, and two items are set to show sublinks: Investments and Portfolios. Can you please explain in more detail which three dropdown menus you are referring to and what you're trying to achieve?

I go to click on "Client Galleries" and instead, it just takes me to one of the investment pages, which is listed on the investment drop down menu. It's lot allowing me to click on client galleries at all.

It looks like you customized ALL folders to show what you really just intended to show on the Investments folder. If you want to customize one folder differently than all other, you need to make it custom. So, go here:
http://www.auphoto.net/Investments

Go to customize > content and design, and click "Make this folder custom". After you publish these changes, you should be able to customize ALL folders to show the folders and galleries. If you need help with this, let me know and I can assist.

See my reply in the other thread. I don't think you want to be customizing folders or making certain folders different from other folders. I think you accidentally customized all folders. That's something you can fix later. But first we need to figure out if the pages that the menu is supposed to point to already exist or not.

Go into your organizer and look around at your site's structure. You have a bunch of folders that are probably unnecessary. I wonder if you created some galleries or pages already... for the broken menu items. If they already exist, you can just change the links on the menu to point to the correct pages or galleries.

Can you figure out how to post a screenshot of your organizer? Maybe we can help if we can get a better look at what you have going on.

So frustrated. How do we post images here? Do we need to have them uploaded to our site?

Okay, I have deleted all the nav bars on the page and will start over.

MRudland

I am not seeing the "Make This Folder Custom" part.

MRudland

Okay, is there someone I can pay to put my links in the way I want them?

MRudland

Okay, I check out what I have and everything is pointing to the page I want it to, however, it is not going there. For instance the client galleries link is supposed to go to the folder that has all my current client galleries in it. Instead, it's taking me to an investment page. I check out my organization and there are no extras or blanks.

Ok, so on smugmug, folders don't work exactly like on your computer. You can customize folders to show anything you want... not necessarily their contents.

What you need to do is go to any folder, hit customize -> content and design. Make sure "all folders" is highlighted on the right. I suspect what you see on the main part of the page is a text content block with your pricing info. Make sure you have that text saved somewhere else. Then go ahead and delete that text content block.

Now you'll want to add a folders, galleries, and pages content block. Under "add content blocks" on the right, go to Galleries and under that pick "folders, galleries, and pages." Drag that to the main part of the page where you want it. That'll actually show the contents of whatever folder you're looking at. Hit Done and Publish Now to save the change.

See if that works for ya.

It wasn't the menu that was set up incorrectly, it was the content blocks that you put under All folders in the customizer. I fixed the issue for you by making the Investment folder custom; then I placed a folders content block and a galleries content block on ALL folders, so when you click on Client galleries, you are actually taken to the relevant folders/galleries.

GOD BLESS YOU! I was in tears yesterday! So now, I should be able to go in and create the rest of my links, correct?

annnna8888

Correct, just add more items/links in your menu.
