Mosaic Gallery Style Adding Circles
-
How do you create a Mosaic Gallery Style to include Circles? What plug-in would you use to create this photo gallery style, including circles, squares & rectangles? This is can also include any other shapes that maybe available to use.
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

You can do this with the Tiled Gallery Block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/tiled-gallery-block/.
if your site uses the open source wordpress.org, this block comes with Jetpack, https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-blocks/tiled-galleries/ -
It shows circles as its own tile block but it doesn’t show how I can add circles to 1 of the other tile blocks pattern like the mosaic tile block pattern. I want the mosaic tile block pattern to feature circles, squares & rectangles for my photo gallery and not just squares & rectangles. How can I do that?

Can you let us know what the URL of your site is? Some aspects of WordPress (the platform) function differently if your site is hosted with us directly or if you are using another provider.
I see that a few months ago you asked us a similar question about circles in galleries, and mentioned shanikidscientist.com as the site you are working on. Same site?
Thanks for the additional info!

Yes that is the domain name of the site and it will be hosted on GoDaddy. But now I am temporarily on my developer’s site. I am sure because it is hosted on another will not keep you from creating a tile gallery with the circle icons if it is available to do. The thing is, it’s mostly done using plug-ins and I have not found a plug-in with that feature for the grid to include squares, rectangles, and circles in the same grid to create a photo gallery. This is a similar look/layout for the photo gallery I want just not the function or images. https://danwoodger.com/

Thanks for confirming. This is the support forum for sites hosted on WordPress.com only, so we cannot help with sites hosted by other providers.
Sites with other providers use the free, open-source version of the WordPress platform, which is different from the custom-managed version that we offer for sites we host here on WordPress.com directly. Specifically, we do not require plugins to add gallery functionality as that is built into our platform, which may explain why we’re having difficulty understanding your request.
On your site, tiled galleries are added using the Jetpack plugin. If you do not have the Jetpack plugin on your dev site, you can download it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/.
Once you add that plugin, you can follow the steps to find the option for circle galleries: https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-blocks/tiled-galleries/.
Please note that if you have further issues with tiled galleries, we cannot help here on the WordPress.com forums. Our implementation is different from what is used in Jetpack. For help with that, you will instead want to ask for assistance in the Jetpack forums here:
