Can anyone help me determine if it's possible to hide a gallery. On my website, under galleries I have a gallery named photography. In this gallery are my images for the links to my Pricing page, contact page and slideshow. I would just like to have it so my customers can't view this.

Go to the customize gallery page for each of the Pricing, Contact and Slideshow galleries and mark them as "Unlisted" instead of Public. This will make them so they do not show to visitors in the homepage (they will only for you and they will say that they are "unlisted"). When a category only has unlisted galleries in it, it will stop showing for your visitors too.

They will still work for anyone via a direct link (so they will still work fine from your navbar). Making them unlisted is like an unlisted telephone number. It just takes you out of the directory (homepage for Smugmug), but if you know the number (or link in this case), it still works.

So, my slideshow I've put in this Photography Gallery as well. Will it still work if I make it unlisted? Thank you for your time-

The ONLY thing that marking a gallery as unlisted changes is that it's not listed in your homepage for visitors to browse. Everything else continues to work. So, yes a slideshow will continue to work.

Thank you so much. I will make my slideshow unlisted as well!
