Wix Photo Albums: Changing Your Album's Privacy Permissions

Manage access to your album, including setting whether or not a password is required to view it. Keep track of how your photos are used by controlling sharing, downloads, and more.
Notes:
  • Adding a password to your cover page protects your entire album unless someone has a direct link to an inner page. 
  • Disable SEO in albums with password protection set up to ensure that inner pages of private albums do not appear in search results.
  • Password-protected photo albums are not available on the Spaces by Wix app.  

To change your album's privacy permissions:

  1. Go to Photo Albums in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Manage Album next to the relevant album.
  3. Set your album's privacy, permissions and SEO settings:
    1. Click the drop-down in the General section to expand it.
    2. Set your album access in the Who can access this album? section:
      • Everyone: Anyone with the album URL can view this album. 
      • Password holders: Visitors need a password to view your photo album. Set your password and language:
        1. Enter a password in the What's the password for this album? field.
          Note: Click Show Password to view the password you've entered.
        2. Select the language of your album using the Choose the language visitors will see your album in drop-down.
    3. Enable the Let visitors share photos toggle to show a Share icon on each photo, video and gallery.
    4. Enable the Display toggle to show this album on the Photo Albums page of your main site.
      Note: To show it on other pages, go to the Editor.
    5. Enable the SEO toggle to let search engines find your album.
      Note: We recommend disabling SEO for password-protected albums, to prevent people finding links to inner pages of your password-protected albums.
    6. Click Save.
