Rearrange only a subcategory?

marieboyer

I apologize but I could not find the answer to this one, despite the wonderful new "help" section. Really nice improvements in there!

My subcategory has the galleries out of order. There are three of them and I want to put them in the correct order. (I probably created them out of order.) How to move just the display of the galleries on that subcategory page?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Marie,

If you want to arrange just the subcats in one category, go the the page showing those subcategories, and then click on the "arrange" link near the top-left of the page.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ivar. I do not see an "arrange" link near the left-top of that page. (I see one within the individual galleries.) However, my galleries are suddenly appearing in the correct order now. I did nothing to change the order other than move some photos around.

Still curious how to do this if I ever run into this again.

I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me. I feel so thick. I went into my control panel to subcategories and do not see it. Can you tell me how I get to that page? Baby steps? Sorry for my thickness! Thanks for your patience and help.

Don't worry we'll get you there.

First of all, make sure you are logged in
then browse as normal by clicking your categories to the
page with the subcategories you want to change.
On that page itself, you should be able to find the "arrange" link.

Let me know how that works out for you

Well, my site appears to be in some sort of crash mode at the moment, as none of my galleries are showing, not even my homepage photo.

Ivar:
I have my site up and running in IE. I still have no "arrange" tool on the subcategory page? Maybe if I could do a screenshot, I could show you. But it is not there anywhere on my page.

You might have to change back to the basic Smugmug classic for it to show up. Some of the themes turn it off.

I tried that and it still does not show up. I hope there is some fix out there! But I am patient. I love Smugmug!

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Have tried a number of different themes, but still cannot see the 'arrange' link (see below).

Any more ideas ?

Thanks,

You probably have to set your galleries to order by position rather than most recent. Check your homepage.

Thanks for that - it now works for me.

I have to say this is related to the thing I find the most confusing and negative about SmugMug :

It's great that there are lots of customisations and options. However, I find that many of them are a 'little' non-intuitive and inconsistent. Finding out about them - in a single place - is also virtually impossible.

Anyway - thanks once more for the assistance.

Frank.

Okay, I just saw OneThumb's suggestion (immediately above your post). Somehow I missed that! He is exactly right! That did it! Yippee!
