FAQs

Q: Does this change the settings of existing galleries or albums automatically?

A: No, this will not change the settings of any existing galleries or albums automatically. However by using our guide to bulk applying default settings, you can manually change the existing galleries with the newly set up default settings.

Q: Will this work for albums too?

A: Absolutely! The same concept that applies to galleries will also apply to albums. You’ll just need to edit the defaults for albums as well.
