You can upload directly from Lightroom by using the SmugMug Lightroom plug-in.

It's one of the better integrated and most convenient tools, I basically maintain my web site with the plugin, creating Smugmug folders and galleries inside lightroom.
It can't do everything, you still need to set themes, customize pages, sort galleries within folders, create smugmug smart galleries (different from Lightroom smart galleries). And Smugmug broke the feature image feature some time ago and still owes us a fix in the quick settings. But over many year's it's been a rock solid tool.
Note when you first use it, if your smugmug account has images already in it that come from your lightroom catalog, you can let it try to sync up and tie them together. how well this works depends a lot on exactly what you did to get them loaded and how many similar images you have in lightroom, but it's worth a shot if you want to get the current SM hierarchy inside of Lightroom rather than starting over.
I just followed the video tutorial for installing the plug in, but it isn't there. I've enclosed two screen shots here for you to see what I am talking about. It says it is installed.
Have you tried restarting LR?
Yes, I have several times.
Have you tried contacting the help desk?

Lightroom Classic (I thought) came with it pre-installed. What version of Lightroom are you using?
Smugmug's documentation is a bit obsolete as they refers to "LR CC". Lightroom CC cannot, to my knowledge, use the plugin, only Lightroom Classic CC (thanks Adobe for such clear and unambiguous names).
So far as I know you are able to install on the Lightroom CC CLassic manually by their instructions as well; I would just try following that path and doing it manually. I never use the Creative Cloud manager for plugin maintenance. Unfortunately I am not sure with this plugin whether it was pre-installed or just there because I had it and upgraded, and I do not have a "clean" system to test on.
I am using the subscription software Classic CC. I can try the manual installation, but the instructions said it was very straightforward with the automatic installation, that is what I chose.
Not saying the Creative Cloud installation should not work, just have not tried it; as someone mentioned above the help desk may be more able to specifically help. The plugin certainly does work.
