My husband helped me accomplish some tweaks to my site today (yay!), but this evening I noticed that my captions are now centered and the style drop down box is showing near the top right. I thought I had that removed, and I'd prefer the captions to not be centered. I didn't change the theme of the page, so I'm not sure why that's happening. Can someone help me out?

Hi Elaine :)

The theme you are using (gradient grey) centers the captions. If you wish to override that, place the following in your CSS code in your customization:

.smugmug #caption_bottom {text-align: left !important;}

You can remove the style picker by forcing that gallery to a certain style, i.e., SmugMug. To do this, go into the gallery and underneath an image click on gallery tools, then customize gallery. Under look & feel, style, choose Smugmug.

Thanks, Barb! I guess I'm confused as to why the captions have started to center when I've been using Gradient Grey for over a year and my captions have not ever been centered. :scratch Maybe I adjusted something recently and affected that? Hmmm...oh well, everything is tweakable, which is great!

Happy New Year!

Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe there was code in your CSS before and it was moved? You're right, however, as everything is tweakable!

Is there a way to force all galleries to Smugmug style, without having to go through one at a time to force them? I really thought I had removed the style drop-down from all the pages before, but I've not ever forced each gallery to Smugmug before. Maybe I'm imagining things. It would be nice to have the drop-down box available to me when logged in, but I'd like it not to show otherwise. Can that be done?

Hi Elaine,

Sure - use the QuickSettings available in your gallery tools.

You can apply certain gallery settings to all of your galleries :)

You can hide the style box with CSS when logged out. But it doesn't lock the
gallery to a style. Anyone visiting will see the style of their last visited gallery
and have no way to switch styles.

Can you explain this further, please..."their last visited gallery"? When I'm logged out, I can go straight to my guestbook (forced to journal style) and then straight to another gallery (set to viewer contolled in the custom settings) and it doesn't come up as journal style, but SmugMug. I'm confused...:scratch

EDIT: I read that SmugMug is the default style, which is fine with me. I did use CSS code to remove the style picker option, except for when I'm logged in, so I'm trying to determine if this is not really what I wanted to do.
