Putting an image Gallery in ‘Featured Post’

    Hello,

    I’ve tried every option in the book (probably) to find a workaround.

    I’m using the ‘Indite’ theme and I was looking to build a gallery in the Featured Image area (just like this – https://www.bhooshan.com/2017/09/29/uncharted-lost-legacy/). It’s funny, that an old post on my website works perfectly well but I can’t set up a new one for some reason.

    If anyone has an answer for me I’d really appreciate it.

    Edit: I’m on WordPress 5.3.

    Hi,

    When you create a new post with the gallery post format, do you upload your new images while editing the post itself? The images has to be attached to the post to show up. I’m not sure if WP 5.3 has broken any of this.

    Hey Alexander, thanks once again for responding.

    As fas as I can remember, I wrote the post and changed the post attribute to ‘Gallery’. I uploaded the images separately but then I couldn’t find the “Add Media” button to attach the images (following steps from this post). Apparently, a lot of people have been complaining about this but funnily I can see the gallery in my older posts.

    Any alternative solution to this?

    Hello Alexander,

    I was curious if you could help me with this issue. I tried a few options in the past few days without success. Here’s what I think:

    The ‘Gallery’ requires a ‘featured image’ to be displayed. In the ‘Indite’ theme only an ‘Image’ post format is able to show the ‘featured image’, as opposed to the ‘standard’ post format for default WordPress themes.

    There’s a clash between the post-formats, for e.g., ‘Gallery’ post does not display the ‘featured image’, and that’s why I think the gallery isn’t visible. In that regard, the ‘Gallery’ post format for the ‘Indite’ theme is virtually left without an objective since the ‘Gallery’ block can do the job in the post.

    I’d be glad if you could validate my concerns and let me know.
