gallery of pictures problem
-
On my blog the most recent post has a photo gallery. There is a picture in that gallery (elephants2.jpg) which I cannot remove or hide. I actually deleted it completely which worked then reposted it in its rightful place as a single picture – it reappeared in the gallery. How do I keep it in the post but remove it from the gallery?
Thank you
David

Hi there,
You can exclude specific images from your gallery by editing the shortcode.
This guide should come in handy:

Sorry, but this does not help me – how do I access the shortcode, does not appear to be any way other than “edit gallery” and that will not allow me to remove the picture without removing it from the main post
-
I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
To view the gallery shortcode, switch to the HTML editor on the Edit Post screen, and that’ll allow you to make the changes from the above guide to exclude elephants2.jpg (attachment ID) from the gallery.
-
Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t get to the shortcode. However I did delete the picture from the gallery and it stayed in the main post. So far so good
-
Nope – didn’t work
The picture disappeared from the main post as well as the gallery. I re-uploaded it and it appeared back in the gallery. This is getting really tedious.

You’ll need to actually edit the gallery shortcode to remove the image: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode
In order to edit the gallery shortcode, you need to switch to the HTML editor tab (not the Visual editor tab).

As I have already said I cannot get into the short code even in the HTML editor, all I see is
[gallery order by title]
but no way to get in. This is ridiculous – I’ve been designing and working with sofware for 40 years so I do know what I’m doing.So I deleted the picture, renamed it and uploaded under a new name – it added it into the gallery as well as the post WTF?????
How about some SPECIFIC instructions?

It’s in the gallery as picture1.jpg – a picture of a picture of a line of elephants. I don’t want to remove it from the main post though, just out of the gallery
Thanks
-
You’ll all set now. Edit the post and switch to the HTML editor tab (not the Visual editor tab) to see what the shortcode looks like.
