Centering a WordPress Gallery [gallery]

Did you create this theme yourself?

If not, do you know how to edit the php/html that builds up the page?

The tables used to create your layout have made the first picture before the gallery lap over the edge of your content div and in to your sidebar, giving the illusion that your gallery is not centered, when in fact it is centered to your content div. In order to make it appear centered you would have to edit the width of your content div and sidebar. A little css editing will give you the result that you want.

Right – This really stumped me for a long time as everything I googled pointed to the nextgen gallery plugin. Which is nice, but not what i wanted!!

The poster above is correct, the position of the thumbnails is altered by your theme in some cases. I’m using Arras theme for my site and as a result, all my thumbnails were left aligned.

To fix this, I had to edit 1 line of code in the default.css
you are looking for “.gallery” in default CSS – the line looks like this:
.gallery { clear: both; margin: 10px ; }

To center the thumbnails, I just added some margin to it, so mine looked like this:
.gallery { clear: both; margin: 10px 10px 10px 80px; }

You can experiment by getting a firefox plugin called firebug, right clicking on your gallery, and then editing your CSS which is displayed on the right of the firebug plugin. This wont edit your CSS FILE, only in your browser, so you can have a play around to see what works, then just hit refresh to set your page back to the way it was before.

Go to my site and send me an email if you need any more help on this.
