  I have a post with multiple images, some of which I want in a gallery and others that I do not. All the images show up in the gallery and I cannot figure out how to delete them from it and still appear elsewhere in the post. I have searched forums and the answers seem to have to do with shortcode, but I am not a code writer and do now know how to create a gallery with shortcode. Help!

  Thank you, Jennifer – but my problem is that I don’t know anything about Shortcode. How do I create one? I have a feeling it’s beyond my (nonexistent, truly) technical/coding capabilities.

  You are very welcome! Don’t let that word “code” put you off. The shortcodes are incredibly easy (once you get the hang of them). :)
