    How can I add more photos to a slideshow?
    If that’s your question, here’s the solution that has worked for me:

    1 Open the post where you want to add photos to a slideshow

    2 Select Edit

    3 Delete the slideshow from your post (highlight [slideshow], hit delete on your keyboard)

    4 Now, with the post still open, upload additional photo(s) from your computer. They will automatically be added to the Gallery for that post.

    5 Click the Upload/Insert Add an Image icon

    6 Select Gallery tab

    7 Your newly uploaded photos should now be at the top of the list, un-numbered

    8 Drag them to where you want them in the slide sequence

    9 Be sure to hit Save All Changes to lock in the sequence

    10 Now click on Insert Slideshow

    That should do it!

    If your slides are in the wrong sequence, you probably forgot to Save All Changes in step 9, so delete [slideshow] again, and re-do steps 5 – 10.

    I couldn’t find any instructions from WP Help on how to add photos to an existing slideshow, so thought I’d pass it along. Hope it helps someone out there, as others’ bread crumbs have helped me numerous times.
