    You need to click the little “insert into post” button that appears, not very obviously, with all the other information about your image … title, caption, URL, etc. Underneath all that is “insert into post”.

    Do NOT click on “Save changes”. All that seems to do is fix the modifications you’ve made for that one post on to the image for all time, which is extremely annoying if you want to use that image for other posots (and pages!).

    I’m an utter newbie to all this and I have to say I’m finding the image/gallery/library bits rather counter-intuitive. With everything else operating as neat drag’n’drop, or drop-downs, the apparent inability to grab an image from my existing library and directly insert it into a gallery for that page or post is driving me insane. It looks like I have to upload the image from the computer or URL – and “upload” means “use bandwidth”. Am I missing something?

    Yes, I can put the WordPress URL into the “URL” bit. It’s still incredibly clunky … but as I say, I could be missing something.

    The gallery thing is obviously not finished and needs some serious love. The next major upgrade to wordpress will include major work on the media section so I suspect (I hope) it will get better with that upgrade.

    Hi,

    Anyone knows if it is possible to use images in the media library to create a gallery?
    And also if it is possible to have 2 galleries in 1 post?
    Appreciate!!

    @starmakeupshowcase: 1. No. 2. Yes – check justjennifer’s FAQ.

    And please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We usually need that to give a relevant answer.

    inserting a gallery into my post is useless. i have to insert each pic individually and then i get the gallery tab. http://tigerworldnews.wordpress.com/

    I don’t see any galleries in any of your posts, but I do think you may have a little problem with copyright, since it appears all of your content comes from other sites. You can QUOTE from other sites, but you can’t take the entire article unless you wrote it yourself, and sometimes not even then.
