You guys are all so helpful! Thank you so much for your time! Honestly – I don’t think I’ve ever gotten such great support from any other forum I’ve posted on.

Unfortunately, I’m still ready to pull my hair out.

I’ve figured out how to create a page that has more of a ‘Gallery’ feel that I think will work for me for the time being, until I can perhaps create a post for each image somewhere down the line. Here’s the test page I put together: https://piperarts.ca/?page_id=54

Here is the issues that I’m now running into – somehow I can’t get this page, looking just like this, to appear as my home/front page. When I go into ‘Reading’, click to set it to ‘Static’ and then choose this page, the page doesn’t seem to appear the same as it does when you pull the page up using its own URL. It just shows the featured image (thumbnail size), with the page title in the bottom right corner when I hover, and when I click on it, it takes me right back to the same thing. No gallery, no text, no nothing. What am I doing wrong??? (wish I could send a screen shot)

Thanks for the tips about image size, RDphotography. When I get to loading the rest of my images, I will have to figure out how to re-size and upload the smaller files.

I have a few other issues as well, but they are off this particular topic, so I will do some more searching, and start new threads if need be.

Thanks again. I am so appreciative of your time.

givesuccess – you’re a WordPress angel!

1) I will try creating a gallery tonight – from what I have seen based on the info above, I create a new post/page, then upload the images. I see the ‘Gallery’ tab, but beyond that I’m just going to have to play with it, I think. I can’t say I’m positive on how to work with it.

2) I do know how to upload photos, but man, they seem to take FOREVER, even when I’m connected w/ LAN rather than wireless.

3) This is my first experience with any kind of website creation, including WordPress. It’s kind of killing me. lol.

I see the spot in the ‘Reading’ page to change the Static Page, so that’s something.

I will try playing again tonight to see what I can get it to do and update afterwards.

Thank you so much for your time!

I’m trying to do exactly what RDphotography was asking above, but I haven’t been quite so lucky as to figure out myself.

givesuccess – I’m super jealous of your skills! This is killing me!!

Is someone able to explain (small words, please!) me how to have my front/home page show as a gallery, and be able to click on each image to have them pop?

I have very little in the way of website/design skills. I’m an amateur photographer just trying to set up a site to display my images and let people know what formats they’re available for sale in.

Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated! So far this forum has been a lifesaver.

Thank you!
