Private gallery login page

Background, login message, login type and session length.

Written by Félix Mezcua

The login page is the first thing your customer sees when they open the link to their private gallery. You can use one of your photos as the background and customise the message and the session.

Add a background to the login page

The background is the gallery cover. For it to be used, the gallery must be private, have a cover and have the Show gallery cover as background on the login switch turned on.

1. Go to Client Galleries / Galleries and open the gallery by clicking its name.

2. In the Appearance tab, Cover section, choose a photo from the gallery (Choose from the gallery) or upload another (Upload image). 2000 × 2000 px is recommended.

3. Turn on Show gallery cover as background on the login and click Save (it only appears when you change something).

To apply it to all private galleries, go to Settings / General, Galleries tab. With Apply changes to all the galleries the setting also applies to galleries with their own settings.

Open the gallery link in a private browser window to see it as your customer does.

Customise the message and the session

In Client Galleries / Settings / General:

  • Texts tab: write the message to show on the login screen (in Spanish, Italian and English). It is empty by default. You can also change the password reminder text here.

  • Session tab: choose Start or Customer gallery (shows the customer’s most recent private gallery) and how long the login session stays open, from 2 hours to 1 year (default: 1 month).

Click Save to apply the changes. If the session closes, the customer can log in again while their username and password are still valid.
