Multiple columns in a gallery?

  • Hi,

    My gallery display defaults to 3 columns, even when I set it to display more than that. I use a right sidebar (with 2010 Weaver), which I know limits it, but I’ve set quite small thumbnails, so it could fit more. How can I get it to override the default three column? Is there a plugin?

    Thanks

    Lizzie

  • you haven’t mentioned how you created the gallery – assuming you used the gallery shortcode:

    Hi,

    Yes, I’m using the gallery shortcode, but eg when I enter [gallery columns="4"], it still gives me 3 columns.

    Thanks for the link – but I’ve read through so much of that guidance and can’t find anything that helps with this!

    it might help to see the resulting output when you use [gallery columns="4"] – can you post a link to a post or page with this kind of gallery?

    Thanks – here’s a link. Thumbnails are set to be that small and I’ve got the Lightbox plugin installed (though it displays the same regardless).

    in style.css of your theme:

    #content .gallery .gallery-item {

	float: left;

	margin-top: 0;

	text-align: center;

	width: 33%;

}

    this style is hard-coded into the theme’s style.css, and forces three gallery images per row (the output of the gallery shortcode styles seems to be suppressed).

    even changing the style to allow 4 images per row (setting width to 25%) does not solve the problem, as the html structure seems to stay for 3 images per row – there is a <div style="clear: both;"></div> in the middle of the gallery.

    possibly a 2010weaver problem (?) – i haven’t checked the theme.

    Thanks so much for the tip – I had a look at the the CSS stylesheet and the RTL stylesheet on the basis of what you’d said and took out a few lines of code that gave massive padding and margins and whatnot – now it seems to be working!

    Thanks for your help x
