Gallery widget won't save to live post
-
I’m using free version of WordPress.com. I have selected “gallery” from available widgets, and followed instructions here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/gallery-widget/
In editor mode, the widget works perfectly; I can see my slideshow of photos on the home page. On the live site however it is not there. It should be in footer sidebar 3, style = slideshow, visibility is show if page = post (home page is a post). I’m using the Kelly theme. Can anyone help please?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your homepage contains a post, but it is not itself a post. It’s a posts page or blog page. Try setting the visibility to “show if page is posts page.”
However there may something else wrong because a gallery widget is not displaying on your static pages either. Did you remove it, or change the visibility settings?

Ignore this part. It should display on posts with the present setting, and it does. The gallery widget is visible in the footer area of the post https://winlatonlibrary.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/welcome-to-winlaton-library-website-please-take-a-look-around-our-site-to-find-all-the-information-you-need-about-the-library/.

Thank you for your help. Looking at the post again this morning I can see the widget is now there, despite me not have done any editing or changes since posting this question. I can only assume there is a time delay for some changes to take effect. Thanks again.

Hi again. Having checked the site this morning, the widget was showing ok, but when I look again now it has gone again! I have not even been into WordPress as editor today, so don’t understand why this keeps happening. Any help please?

It’s still there. You might have a browser issue or other local issue preventing you from seeing it.
-
Do you want to display the widget on the homepage? It is displaying on the single post I linked to above because the visibility setting is “Show if page is post.” The homepage is not a post.
As I said above,Your homepage contains a post, but it is not itself a post. It’s a posts page or blog page. Try setting the visibility to “show if page is posts page.”

Alternatively, you could display it on the homepage and on every post and static page by removing the visibility restriction.

Thank you musicdoc1. I’m pleased it’s visible to you, bizarrely I still can’t see it. (Neither on IE nor Safari.) However, having removed the visibility restrictions altogether, it’s now appearing on all pages. I would have preferred just the home page, but I’m now leaving well alone! Thanks again.
