Very disappointed with Zenfolio and an Adobe Portfolio question

I've had a Zenfolio site for a very long time but their recent policy of archiving galleries is driving me nuts! Even galleries that have been modified recently are being archived and I don't have time to constantly un-archive them - the process doesn't even work sometimes. I can't believe they expect people to click on an image and be told to wait 12 hours to see it!!

I'm thinking of dumping Zenfolio and just using Adobe Portfolio which gives you 5 web pages (I don't sell images so that function is not necessary). At the moment I've just got one page, and I can easily send the link to people as in my signature below.

What I'd like to know is, if I make another 4 portfolio pages is there a way to link these together in one url? Or can I link one portfolio page to another and if so how to do this?
 
Thank you! But it doesn’t look like I’m going to get an answer:(

You certainly can add hyperlinks to other websites. There are a couple ways to do it. The only way I have done it is to add a new item to my menu. When you add a page to the menu one of the options is to make it a link. Very straight forward. You can also add links to individual photos, but every time I tried that the "Link" option was grayed out with the exception of my photo on the "About" page. It does not work on my gallery images.

Thanks but can you tell me how? When I go to pages, then hit the plus sign to make a new page, it gives me the option to make a link. When I enter the link & rename it, the link appears in the same place as the heading like this ... I can't move it. What am I doing wrong?

I'm afraid I don't have a clue. I am certainly not an expert on Portfolio. I muddled my way through creating one site, and that is my whole resume on Portfolio. All the Pages I create end up in my menu, and the only way I can move them is to rearrange them in Pages.

I used Zenfolio for years. Initially selected them as I could create the UI I wanted. After years, before the archiving, their performance was so bad, I could no longer take it. I looked back at Smugmug, which had not the capability I wanted back then, but did now. Have been on it for a few years….extremely happy. I also do not sell, but there performance…and support when needed…makes the experience special!!
