Thanks, you’ve given me a lot to think about. I’ll have to consider how this will affect my Slideshow Pro installation. Signing out for now but will check back in the morning. As far as shameless plugs go here’s my current site: https://www.ellicksonphoto.com which is using Photofolio, here it it is in it’s nearly completed form https://www.ellicksonphoto.com/wordpress
If you go to the blog page there are two sample posts, one of with contains a sample slide show.

chrisipeters, are you saying I’m better off hosting images somewhere other than my own site? I don’t understand how it would run faster if so but I’m slowly figuring this all out, definitely has been a learning experience. Currently I’ve set up Slideshow Pro Director on my site to embed slideshows in my posts, looks pretty impressive plus images can’t be downloaded as they otherwise would be. There’s even a Lightroom plugin that will upload images directly to my site. Thought at first this may be the problem but the whole site is slow, even navigation on the backend.

Appreciate the help here guys, no need to get your dander up on my account. Although I’ve had a web site for many years now I’m attempting to take control of my own destiny with this. The person who built my current site set up the hosting on Goddady and that’s just where I’ve been ever since. I’ve never until now had any problems and would prefer to stay there for now if for no other reason than I don’t want the hassle of transferring the site. Godaddy themselves recommended W3 Total Cache so I’ll look into that. If that doesn’t work then maybe I’ll have to look into a switch.

Thanks, can you explain how please?

Definitely have it figured out, will mark this as resolved although I still don’t understand
why I can’t pull images from my Media Library to create a gallery. Thanks for your help!

I think I figured it out, I need to upload from my computer. When I did that the gallery tab appeared in the Add Media window. Odd that I can’t add from the Media Library?

Ok, I am just flummoxed. I’ve reviewed your link (thank you) but I must be missing something simple. I have 20 images in the editor that I can see. If I click Add Media I am presented with the 3 tabs I mentioned before. I don’t see anything until I select a tab. When I select show image and then Insert Into Post I’m sent directly back to the editor. I’m not given any options to save changes. I should mention that I’m selecting images from the Media Library, should I grab directly from my computer instead?

Are you asking if I can see the images in the editor? Yes. When I select Add Media I get a pop up window with 3 tabs for selecting media: From Computer, From URL, and Media Library. A tutorial I viewed awhile ago had showed an additional Gallery tab under which I believe the Insert Gallery button was, that does not appear in my Add Media window.

Yes, the gallery I’m working on has 20 images.
