Galleries not showing when published

Wanted to add a page to my site today, did the same as I have done before, but when I published the page this time none of the galleries showed up when I checked the link. Access is set to unlisted anyone with link. What am I missing?

Pic one in organizer. Pic two the access settings. Pic three the site when accessed through the link.

If the galleries are unlisted they need to be accessed with a direct link.

See the help page at https://www.smugmughelp.com/en/articles/339-gallery-page-and-folder-privacy-settings

Thx. I did access the page through the direct link.

It's not the page that is the issue, it's the galleries. Unlisted galleries only show when accessing with a direct link as the url. If you want them to be accessed fro.m a folder or a page the galleries must be public.

From the help page I referenced in my last post:

Unlisted (Anyone with the Link): Hidden from the Public
Unlisted galleries can't be seen by the general public on your SmugMug site and aren't crawled by search engines. The only way someone can view them is if you (the site owner) give them a direct link. When you do that, it'll look something like this: www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-Z8xhv

Thank you, Denise. I get it. Went to far with my unlisting.
