  Theme: Twentyeleven

  When I created a static page with a gallery of 4 images (gallery settings set to 4 columns) and copied the id to my post, it showed up in 3 columns only.

  I used the code: [gallery id="1399"]

  I don’t think I can combine another code to tell it I want 4 columns since I already used this work around (that justpi was kind enough to show me) for inserting multiple galleries.

  All my images are re-sized. Previously, I have marked them all as full sized, with no problems. They’ve always showed up as 4 columns (as assigned) with no problems.

  Am I missing something?

  Thanks in advance.

  Three columns is the default. To change that to four columns you’d write:
  [gallery id="1399" columns="4"]

  I tried to experiment with the codes you gave me (wasn’t sure where to add spaces, etc.) Of course I need to take the tutorial you gave me!

  Genius! Thanks so much justpi

  You’re welcome. The various options you can add to the gallery shortcode are listed here:

  Thanks again! I’ve seen that link but wasn’t sure I could combine all the codes. I’ve printed it out.
