Home/Browse/Search on my Homepage?

BeemerChef · September 1, 2013

OK, I changed the question as I solved what is below.

However, unless someone clicks on "Browse" there is no sign of the present Galleries on the Home page.

Anyone knows how to?

So... struggling here. Not too savvy with all of this and yes, I have read and read some more!

I just lost my Home / Browse / Search on my Homepage and it only shows then when another page [Gallery] is open.

I miss the fact that I had distinct Galleries when viewers opened my Homepage, now all I have are photos I have placed.

None of this is too easy I realize, yet, maybe someone might have a tip for me!

Thanks. Stay well.

Make your menu a drop down nav bar and/or add more links to your menu.

Do you mean that you want gallery thumbs on your homepage?
If so, you can add a galleries block:
Customize Site > Homepage > Content tab > Navigation drawer > Galleries block.

BTW, all your galleries are in one folder, so this seems to me as a redundant level. I click browse, and there's nothing to choose from there - not until the next click which brings me to the galleries.
If you are not categorizing the galleries into different folders, you can consider moving them to the root level.

Hi Einat

Thank You.

Unfortunately I am one of those where that part of the brain that deals with such computer aspects does not function well at all. I knew something was wrong even in the old SmuMug!
Do you think I can still categorize them in folders and "root level" I don't understand...
I am about ready to pay someone to do it for me! Yes, it is that bad...
Stay well...

I made a folder for each Gallery... Wonder if this is still redundant? Looks better...
Thanks. Ara and Spirit

I think it still is. When clicking "browse", I get a page where I have to choose from a few folders.
Then another click - and I get a page with just one gallery and I hve to choose\click it, and only then - the photos.
In the organizer, you can drag the galleris directly under the first level - whixh is you name. It's where the folders are right now.

But don't worry about it, if it's frustrating then leave it as it is. It's only my opinion and your photos are worth the extra click.
