    Hi Jacob
    I hope you and your family are safe and well in these trying times.
    I’ve been trying to tidy up my website and one of the things I wanted to do was move albums into groups. At the moment all my albums are on their own without any parent albums. What I’m trying to do is create parent albums with sub albums. So at the moment I have British Birds, eg ‘Blue Tit’, ‘Kingfisher’ etc in individual albums and what I want to do is have them all under the parent album ‘British Birds’. What I did was create a Parent Album called ‘British Birds’ and then select the individual albums and change the parent album from None to ‘British Birds’
    All seems to work except I now have 2 cases of ‘British Birds’
    My albums are in ID order, 1-236
    On the 1st page I have 1-113 (some have been deleted) and 236 (British Birds)
    Album 236 contains the subalbums I’ve added.
    On the 3rd page I have 215-236, So there is a duplicate of album 236. It shows there are 4 subalbums and there is an arrow at the front but if you click it there are no subalbums there. I hope I’ve explained it well.
    Am I missing something?

    Best regards
    Kevin

    This is because of the admin album pagesize. The page boundary may be in the middle of a subalbum tree; this causes the confusion.
    Increase the pagesize (as much as you server and internet speed still will quick enough respond) to make it more comprehensive.

    Table IX-B6.1

    If you have duplicate albums with different photos, bulk move them to one of them and remove the empty afterwards.
    Album Admin -> Bulk (link on the album table)

    If you have two parent albums, rename one to e.g. Junk, and change the parent settings of Junk’s children to ‘Britis Birds’, and remove Junk afterwards.

    Perfect answer explaining everything and solving my problem. Set IX-B6.1 to 500 and moved all albums as subalbums of the parent and all works perfectly. Thank you for your quick response
