Hide menu on single gallery

OurFamilyHistorian

Is it possible to customize a single gallery to eliminate the navigation links? In other words a complete dead end gallery.

If you want to remove all traces of your site, the simplest solution is to set Hide Owner on that gallery to ON.

From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93131-can-i-hide-the-account-owner-information-for-a-gallery-:

Hide Owner will remove the nickname from your URL and make it completely SmugMug.
Your custom Banner will be replaced with the SmugMug banner. This will also remove all customization on the page.
Links to your homepage won't appear, only the gallery name will.

The Hide Owner setting is on the SECURITY & SHARING section of the gallery settings.

Thank you very much Denise. I had already tried what you suggested before the post. Our site is our family history, with many password protected galleries. I just wanted to make a separate one for a friend's funeral. The all black look seems too "dark". Wanted to put clouds as the background. Thinking of getting an additional SM account for more public galleries . . .

I have this same question. I don't want an all black hideous gallery, but I'd like to share pictures with my child's school without making it seem like I'm trying to market my photo biz. I am ok with the name of my company and a link to my real website (I just use smugmug for galleries) but want very limited ability to navigate around the rest of my site. We pay a decent amount of money to Smugmug and live with the frustrating lack of ability to have separate biz and personal sites. There should be some way to remove nav links on particular galleries without spending four days testing various custom CSS solutions.

There are two ways of doing this - HIDE OWNER or CSS.
Hide Owner - which has been designed exactly for that purpose. I know it does not allow you to customize it - but that is the idea behind it. No way to tell who the photographer is, the URL is gone and your gallery looks like a standard SmugMug gallery.

CSS - this is more complicated - because you have to drill down to the node and content block id that you would like to hide on that page. Even if you hide this - your visitors will still see the url to your main site.
