Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Smugmug and I'm a little bit lost with sub-categories :rolleyes

I have a Gallery called Odds and Sods and was hoping to break the images up into different 'albums'......is this possible ? I did try adding a sub-category to my Wildlife Gallery but I can't find it :uhoh:roflI expect it is really simple to sort out......but......:dunno

Thanks, Alison

    G'day & welcome to D/grin/SmugMug Alison.

    1/ Open your current Smug Mug page
    2/ Hit "create new gallery" at the top & do so
    3/ Then open your gallery that you want to split up
    4/ Under the main photo (big one) that opens..choose 'photo tools' from the drop down menu below it.
    5/ From that drop down menu choose "Move photos"
    6/ Click on the ones you wish to move (they will highlight in a red border)
    7/ Once you have them highlighted look up the top & you will see a header 'Choose an existing gallery'
    8/ Click on that new gallery you just created & finally hit the 'move' button on the top right.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Alison,

    Welcome to Dgrin. :D Galleries cannot be sub-divided. You can get a similar result by creating sub-categories within a category. So you could create a category called Odds and Sods and then as many sub-categories below that as you like. You could then put each gallery into the category and sub-category of your choice. There are only two levels--no sub-sub-categories, so you probably ought to think carefully about how you want to organize your pics.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    My Pics

    Hi Humungus and Richard,

    I have no idea what I just did, but I deleted an entire category and had to upload them again headscratch.gif :cry

    I might have another try at it tomorrow :D

    Thanks, Alison
