I would like to change the title of a gallery in my portfolio here on POL but, unlike the old old site design, it doesn't look as if I can do it. Come to that how do you delete an entire gallery (not that I want to) ? Has anyone any ideas?

No - 'fraid not. It used to be fantastically easy to delete a gallery by accident: indeed, blush, I did. I hope that's a bit harder now. There's obviously a highly laborious way of renaming a gallery - just take it off, and put it back on under a different name, picture by picture. I don't think it's possible just to rename it (and am nervous of experimenting, in case I manage to send my collected oeuvre away into the ether...).

There is a delete button for individual paintings but there isn´t one for an entire gallery. So it looks like you cannot even delete a gallery title once you have deleted everything in it, let alone change it. The people who wrote the software for the new website obviously started from scratch rather than improve the old site. So instead of keeping all the good things from the old site we have now got a new one which is different in many ways.

You've confirmed my thoughts Robert and Pat - thanks.

Have you found a way to do this yet? I also want to change my gallery name, and move one painting from one gallery to another. I can't find out how to do this anywhere!

Afraid not Jackil - another example of where some input from the users of the site at its design stage would have been so beneficial

I would actually like to delete a gallery ! It's mostly work done at least 5 years ago and I think I've improved. The paintings on this gallery keep appearing on "More by Avril Soldani" and they're not what I wish to be shown....... I'm really not happy with this site now - it's complicated and time consuming.
