  How can insert a wp gallery into a regular post. Do I have to make the gallery public first? or can it be in a “private mode.”

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I wanted to add a slideshow to a post. I typed [gallery type="slideshow"] but it didn’t work. I also type the code for the slideshow and it didn’t work neither.
  thanks

  Hi Fernando,

  Using the slideshow shortcode [gallery type="slideshow"] will only work if there are images attached to that post. To attach an image to the post, you can either use the Add Media button to upload the images while editing that post, or you can upload the images under Media > Add New in the blog’s dashboard and then attach the images to the post later.

  You can also use that Add Media button to upload the images and insert the slideshow all at once, instead of adding the slideshow shortcode manually. We have more about how to do that here:

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
