Version 6.0.1 Gallery block not working

  • I’ve installed WP 6.0.1 with twenty siteen theme and created a gallery block. The settings on the right does not have the “columns” slider however many images I upload. The images don’t appear in the edit page, only a message that they are missing an alt attribute. They don’t get published either. I have no plugins activated.

    I have another website using WordPress 5.6 running Twenty Sixteen theme and the gallery works prefectly.

    Any suggestions welcome

  • Based on your description, I suspect you are in the properties of a gallery image. But the property to the columns you are looking for can be found at the gallery block. You can reach it in 2 ways:
    a) Click on the icon with several rectangles above on the left. If you move the mouse over it, “Select Gallery” should appear as a tooltip.
    b) Use the List View in the upper left corner. There you can click on each block in the page to select it.

    Thank you threadi. You are quite right, I wasn’t in the gallery block, I was in the image properties. I see the column slider now. But the real problem is the images don’t appear. Neither do they appear in the Media Library when I upload them. They DO appear in ML when I click ‘Edit Image’, and I can edit them, but they still don’t appear in the main ML page. The link in my first post shows the page with a gallery of 2 (invisible) images.

    I am guessing that my WP installation is corrupt. I tried downgrading to 5.6 with Wp downgrade plugin but got same result. Unless anyone has a suggestion to fix ML I’ll have to reinstall.

    No, this is not a wordpress problem I would say but rather one in your hosting. First check if there is enough free disk space. Also check under Tools > Site Health if there are any warnings or hints from WordPress.

    After some more searching it appears to be a File Permissions problem. Probably due to hosting software misconfiguration. I’ll contact them after the weekend, meanwhile I am changing the permisssions per https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-image-upload-issue-in-wordpress/ It seems to be working
    Thanks again for your help
