  Is it possible to install a plugin that allows me to have a zoom in function over pictures in my site?
  Thank you in advance!

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

  Hi!

  Hi!
  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs. The difference is broken down here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  We don’t have a WordPress.com feature built-in that provides a zoom-type feature. However, our galleries do have a carousel view that blogs up the image for the user as demonstrated when you click on the gallery in the example here:

  Your Memories Take Center Stage with the New Photo Carousel

  Would that work?

  Hi!

  Thank you for the information. I played around with it, but unfortunately it is not providing me with the functionality I’d like at the moment.
  Do you know if you plan to install a wordpress.com feature that provides a zoom-type feature in the future?

  Thanks,
  Brian

  Just to clarify, by zoom feature, do you mean something that automatically enables a microscope of sorts over the user’s cursor when they’re on your site? Could you point me to an example just to make sure we’re on the same page?

  I’ve been playing around with it some more and decided to work with it. The problem I am now encountering is that when I upload more than one image to a gallery it is not allowing me to place them in a single row, instead creating an individual row for each photo. I’ve read through some other forums and how to use the text editor in such cases, but with no luck. Can you help me out, so that I can place multiple images on the same row? Thanks!

  If you set the Gallery Type to Thumbnail grid and then adjust the number of columns, the images should appear one next to the other. Can you give that a try? If that doesn’t work, can you point me to the URL of the page where you’re having trouble?

  I tried that and am still unable to get them on the same row, instead it places them all in one long column. Here are the URLs for the two pages:

  http://nwwinesandspirits.com/our-wines/vina-santa-cruz/

  Let me know what I can do to resolve it. Thanks in advance!

  This looks like it might be the result of some missing styling in the Radcliffe theme. I’m checking with our theme developers just to be sure. In the meantime, you can resolve this by adding the following code under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS:

  .gallery-columns-4 .gallery-item {
  	display:inline-block;
  	width: 23%;
  }
  
  .gallery-columns-3 .gallery-item {
  	display: inline-block;
  	width: 32%;
  }

  Can you give that a try?

  Thanks, that works fine. Can you provide me with the CSS for those with 2 and 5 columns respectively? Thanks again!

  No problem! I’ll keep you posted as I hear back from our theme developers about the theme.

  Howdy!

  Thanks for bringing this bug to our attention; we’ve made a fix for Radcliffe and your gallery images should now display in nice columns. :)

  Cheers,
