  I cannot see the Edit Gallery Icon when I open a draft post. If I preview or publish the Gallery photos are there. Any help would be much appreciated.

  Many thanks Neil

  Are you using the Visual Editor or the HTML Editor when creating your post?

  If the HTML, switch to the Visual Editor and click on the Gallery placeholder and you should see two icons in the upper left corner of the placeholder. Seems to me that this might be a change from previous behavior as once upon a time you’d see those icons when hovering over the placeholder.

  Thanks for your prompt response, I am in Visual Editor, still cannot see the icons, not sure what you mean “click on the Gallery place holder.

  Thanks Neil

  After you have inserted the Gallery from the Gallery tab in the Image Uploader, there should be a large placeholder in your Post or Page that spans the width of your post.

  The placeholder is not visible, this only happened recently! I have checked all my previous posts and the placeholder icon is not viewable in these.

  Thanks Neil

  Here’s a screenshot of what the Gallery graphic placeholder looks like in a Post in the Visual Editor after it’s been inserted and what it looks like when I’ve clicked it with the edit icons active.

  If you switch to the HTML Editor, you should see the shortcode [ gallery ]
