    Hello,

    I’m sure this has been posted before but I could not find a thread in my searching. So please bear with me.

    I have been having some issues with getting the gallery post type to work correctly. Like the one on the same site – http://demo.onedesigns.com/pinboard/?p=174 Perhaps I am just not adding in the assets correctly.

    The main issue is that the homepage thumbnail collage is not showing up at all.

    The first time I made a gallery it worked. But I uploaded the new post from my BlackBerry using the wordpress app. When I author a post through the web interface I can’t get the homepage thumbnail collage to show up.

    When creating a new gallery post should I just be adding single assets into the post or can I use the built in wordpress gallery from media manager?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry I don’t have an example of this post on my site. I have a test site that I am working through at the moment but it’s just running on my local machine.

    Thanks,
    Erik

    I am really not sure exactly what you ask about so maybe I´m giving wrong answer… But I had trouble with getting my gallery in the same way as the link you attached and I finally realized it was due to I had not chosen
    Create “new post” – “add media” – “create gallery” (here I forgot to change by my self the first time) – choose your pictures – “create new gallery”. That gives the look as in your attached link. I use the built in gallery and I do not upload them first to media manager, I just insert them directly into the post.

    I though don’t get the thumbs for each gallery to appear, even if I chose the defined pictures for every gallery. Or sometimes I do, but they look really ugly. So please let me know if you find out 🙂

    Thanks for the reply. I think your last point actually touches on my issue. When I add a gallery I can’t get the thumbnails to show up on the homepage as the “featured” images.

    Thanks,

    Try adding directly by adding images, rather than choosing from image gallery.

    I found as well that I could not get the collage show on the home page category by adding pix directly from the image gallery. Only when inserting directly from the local drive… Interesting behaviour….

    Thanks for the help. It looks like this only does work when you add net new images to the page. If the images were previously added to to the media file they won’t show up in this way.
