I have to put a page: http://loeildumargouillat.fr/Galeries/Judo/Portraits/ with a link that redirects to: http://loeildumargouillat.fr/Galeries/J ... itia_Blot/ -> for this to work

Would you be able to provide a link to your panel so I can check some things?

You mean the aspect? If you navigate to examples/gallery/slideshow/ from your panel, you will find full instructions for the slideshow. Basically there are a few "fit" tags: "cover" sets the image to cover the entire screen, thus cropping away some of the image depending on image aspect vs screen aspect. "contain" contains the image within the screen, so the image is fully visible at original aspect ... This will of course mean you have empty spaces in some places.

do you need login and pswd?

Yes please Or you can check one thing for me. Rename the folder /Laetitia_Blot/ to /LaetitiaBlot/ and see if direct link works. I want to see if it is the underscore in the folder name.

go to http://loeildumargouillat.fr/
in the menu-> Galeries/Judo en N&B/

This is likely related to the "&" character in your folder name, and you should replace it. In fact, I am not even sure why you are using empty spaces and mixed cAsE in your folder names. Folder names become the "slugs" in your URL, and should therefore adhere to semantic values.

That folder for example should be named /judo-nb/ or /judo-en-n-b/ if required, although it has no function to keep it longer. Url's should be short, as human visitors don't read the URL to understand what its about, although a label/keyword may help. You should avoid all UPPERCASE, empty spaces, and special characters like &&.

Just to close the _underscore issue.

Having said that, I would strongly recommend against using _ underscores in physical folder names in the first place. Folder names are what is displayed in the URL of the page, and should be as simple and pretty as possible. If you cannot restrict it to a single word, then use hyphens -
