For my webpage . . . funtimesphotography.smugmug.com
the Gallery Category = + FRIENDS
has two issues:

When I RENAME it to FRIENDS it saves but does not actually change names

When I click on the + FRIENDS link from the main page,
it just reboots me back to the main page (whether I am logged in or not)

HOW CAN THESE TWO ISSUES BE RESOLVED ?

It doesn't like the + sign in the URL. I think you need to change the category name in your control panel for it to save correctly.

Thanks for the feedback.
I have tried several times to RENAME the category from
+ FRIENDS
to
FRIENDS
and each time it processes the SAVE button / command
but when I go back to the main page
the category is shown as still being
+ FRIENDS
and the above problem still remains.

Is there a support are who can make this change happen ?

Just figured it out. Since
Friends
is a default category, I could not RENAME
+ FRIENDS
to
FRIENDS
but can and did RENAME it to
MORE FRIENDS

Apparently, categories are NOT case sensitive.

Appreciate the feedback.

Aha, so there may be two Smugmug bugs here:

When you try to rename a category to the same name as an existing category, it doesn't give you any kind of error message to tell you that.
It lets you put a + sign in the category name, but when you do that, the category doesn't work.
