• Good morning,

    We’re trying to add galleries to pages on our site using the built in gallery option within the block editor. Everything looks correct until we publish the site, then the images are no longer in a gallery and are instead in a bulleted list down the page. It seems like something that our theme may be overriding – can you help us out? The URL I provided is to my testing site, so I have one gallery in there for you to look at.

    Thanks,
    Crystal

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Good morning!

    Reaching out again to see if there’s a resolution to the above issue.

    Thanks so much,
    Crystal

    It seems the issue is resolved. When I looked at the site there were just images shown. No bullets.

    Could it be that you have some caching in place and that is being accessed rather than the new page?

    Just a thought which I hope will help.

    Thanks for taking a look! The bullets aren’t present on the current theme (Twenty-Twenty), however the images are still in a “list” format rather than a gallery. Is that what you’re seeing also?

    What are you expecting to see for the gallery?

    Lists are often used with no bullet mark, for instance the top menu is done in this way.

    You could do the same with a <p class=”gallery”> and CSS styling if you wanted to make it semantically significant.

    We’re looking to post a large amount of photos to a site (likely hundreds) and when composing the site using the block editor, there is a gallery option that allows you to choose the number of columns the photos will be arranged in, for easier viewing. The preview looks correct, but then when we publish, the images revert to all being in one column which is a cumbersome way to view larger numbers of photos.

    It might be you are looking through two different viewports. One larger than the other, the larger one able to show the side-by-side layout, the smaller too small, but showing one image at a time.

    Just a quick thought.

    I wish it was something that simple! I’ve looked on multiple browsers, windows set to various sizes, and a handful of different device types. Thanks for helping brainstorm!

    When I Inspect one of the items (CTRL+I) and compare it with a simple gallery (3 wide), holding my cursor over the highlighted item on my gallery the size come up with a “flex item” notification. However when I do the same with yours no “flex item” note appears. This may be significant, but I am not sure what you have done to create the gallery.

    When I produced my gallery I let WP do all the work and just selected the three images in the media (I am just using a simple install with no modifications nor content).

    Another thought to consider. I am afraid I cannot help you further, as I am a neophyte. Best wishes on solving the conundrum.

    That’s something to look into, thank you! I’m pretty novice also, I think what complicates our setup is that we’re multisite so everything we install needs to be multisite compatible. Thanks again for taking a look!
