Grid gallery in wordpress help requested
Hi,
I am having some issues getting the grid gallery working like on the example page:http://theturninggate.net/2017/11/29/ne … s-updates/
When I create a gallery inside WP I need to change something in a text editor field and add [gallery]
What I do: I selected the + on the blok -> formatting -> code and add [gallery]
This indeed shows the grid layout but, the thumbnails are very small, and the colors I have set in the designer are not shown. Yes, I have exported the template to WP after changing settings in the theme template.
Also does it show longer then it needs to be (see screenshot)
The above is with [gallery] added, the one below is standard gallery from WP, but does not show the Backlight viewing option.
Anyone who could walk me through?
Regards,
Cristian

Re: Grid gallery in wordpress help requested
Try going to the WordPress Customizer. I think there’s a setting to enable the Fancybox gallery.

Just reread you original post. in the text editor you don’t need to click on the code button. Just enter the [gallery] shortcode

Re: Grid gallery in wordpress help requested
Ok thanks Rod, that helps... but then agian I still cannot get the images the size like they are on the demopage..
Edit: I added the columns code and they appear larger.
One last remaining item.. the colors displayed are now like I have done.
The show colors of my website, but not the ones I wish to have.
In Backlight under designer I have set different colors for the template of word press.
What controls the colors and border around the images?

Probably Cells Background-color and Border-color

I found the error.. everytime I update a post I check it in preview.. but you also need to update the post regarding to the color changes in BL.

Re: Grid gallery in wordpress help requested
might be one of those things that needs a template cache clearing
