Hiding albums

From Phanfare Support

You can prevent an album from being displayed on your Web site. You might do this because some photos are private, or simply because your album isn't ready for online viewing yet.


If you use Windows

Right-click on the album that you want to hide and select Don't Show on Website. To unhide, just right-click again and select Show on Website.
