Creating a Friendly Link and Gallery ID for Client Access

Please note: the ability to create Friendly URLs is only available for Starter, Pro and Advanced subscribers, and the ability to use the Client Access page is only available to Pro and Advanced subscribers.
 

Rather than using a jumble of letters and numbers for your client’s gallery, you actually have the ability to create a Friendly link that will make it much easier for them to remember. Friendly links can be applied to a gallery, group or collection, and are usually a descriptive word that includes only characters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9). 

For example: customdomain.com/p282142840 may become customdomain.com/daviswedding

This descriptive word may also be used as a Gallery ID that clients can enter into the Client Access Page to be sent directly to a gallery.
