Setting the Default Gallery View for Albums

Hi,

Please note that you can set the view of the galleries from the shortcode options only, you cannot set the default view to Mosaic, Masonry. Please navigate to the certain page where the gallery is published, click on shortcode and select the desired view and click on Update. See the following gif.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the update and that is exactly what I did too.

What we are trying to have is a Gallery Group listed on a Page as Extended and then when we click on each of those Gallery, the images will be displayed in Mosaic layout!

Here are the steps that we did:

1. Created two Galleries with dozen pictures in each
2. Then I created a Page and inserted the PhotoGallery.
3. Clicked on EDIT as you showed in the Gif
4. Clicked on Gallery and selected Mosaic.
5. Then clicked on Gallery Group and selected Extended.
6. My expectation is that when I view the page the Gallery Group will appear as extended and then when I click on one of the two Galleries the images will appear in Mosaic (as selected above)
7. That is where the problem happens. The Gallery Group appears correctly, but when I click on one of the Galleries, the images appear in Thumbnails (squares) but not in Mosaic layout.
8. So I went back to EDIT in the page and selected Gallery and selected Mosaic again and clicked Update.
9. But now when I refresh the page, the Gallery Group (list of galleries) do not appear at all, instead ALL the pictures from BOTH galleries (all 24 images) in Mosaic. So the Mosaic part worked, but we lost the Gallery Group on the page, it never got displayed!

So basically, if the last Update saved is on the Gallery tab, then the Page will load ALL images in as Mosaic (or whatever layout was selected),

BUT if the last Update saved is on the Gallery Group, then the Page will load the list of all Galleries as Extended, but of course when you go in to the individual gallery itself, the layout defaults back to simple Thumbnails!

So that is the issue. One or the other setting will work, but both layouts cannot be setup at the same time by Editing on the Page.

Dear @rpalex, sincerest apologies for the long absence of news from our end,

Could you please try this flow?

How to Change the Display/View Type of a Gallery in a Gallery Group

1. Click Photo Gallery from the menu on the left of your WordPress dashboard. 
2. From the list under Photo Gallery, click Options, then click the Gallery Group Defaults tab.
3. Find the Gallery View Type option, select the display type of your gallery from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the Save button at the top right to save your settings. This will apply your selected option to every gallery that uses default options.

In order to apply this setting to a single specific gallery group click the shortcode of the published gallery group in your editor, uncheck the box next to Use Default Options, click the Gallery Group tab, then follow step 3 and click Update.
