Album Name not found in "Owned By" dropdown menu

The “Owned by:” dropdown box contains a list of user login display names of all users. The user who created the album is called the Owner of the album.

If you want your album XXX to be a sub-album of any other ( i.e. parent- ) album, select it in the “Parent album:” dropdown list.

Thank you. That is pretty much what I’ve been doing. I have a site with 700 members and not all are granted “Subscriber Level”. I have certain pages that have restricted access to “Subscribers Only”. The Photo Albums are “Restricted Access” for Subscribers Only, so not just anybody can look at them (not Public). I register each new member (User) as a “Subscriber” that meets the criteria. I did create Sub-Folders for alphabetical order of Members Ex: A’s, B’s, C’c, etc. (All Usernames starting with an “A” is in Sub-Folder “A’s”)

With me, the Admin, creating the “New User” photo album, it’s showing me as the Album Owner. My concern is, with “XXX” which would be in the sub-folder “X’s”, and me shown as “Album Owner”, would “XXX” be able to upload his or her photos into the “XXX Folder”???
Hope I haven’t made it confusing.

If this is a single site installation, or a multisite installation with WPPA_MULTISITE_GLOBAL set to true, you will find all the photos in ../wp-content/uploads/wppa/

There are no ‘album folders’, albums are only rows in the wp_wppa_albums db table.

If you use the ‘grant an album’ feature, see table IX-D of the Photo Albums -> Settings admin page where you can configure this.
If configured, albums will be created automaticly when the user logs in, and they will have their owner set also automaticly.

I recommend to tick the box in Table VII-D1: Owners only, to prevent them to upload to one others album.
