I meant to say on 1 install of WordPress. I thought I might be able to have separate pages for different post categories, without having to install further copies of WordPress.

Thanks to Designophobia & NativePaul. The fix in that post has worked for me also.

Guess we should treat this as a workaround rather than a fix though, since we loose some flexibility with it, i.e. specifying the thumbnail width in the CSS means you need to have all thumbnails the same width? That’s not a problem for me at present though.

Not much help, but I get the same problem. Thumbnails fine in Firefox, but are ‘skinny’, in IE. Playing around a bit, it seems to get the height correct, and height changes when you modify the thumbnail size, but width remains very low. Can anyone help?

Thanks Esmi. I can see that shortcodes are very useful for plugins, and as that was probably the prime reason for them, then the few existing supplied ones are probably primarily there to illustrate how they can be used by plugins.

At the moment I’m just experimenting. I’m researching the use of WordPress for 2 new web sites that I’m building, and so I’m trying to understand the range of functionality available. The point of my post was not to explore further gallery options, but to see what other functionality was available for WordPress using the shortcode facility.

I read somwhere about the gallery shortcode, and about the shortcode API that came with WP 2.5, but I assumed that somewhere there would be a list of what other shortcodes come supplied as part of WordPress (rather than via a Plugin). I guess I could always try reading the code (but not today!)
