Need to change gallery appearance
-
Hi there,
I’ve been working with the Manifest theme for a couple of weeks now and I set up a gallery on one of my pages and was really happy with how it looked and worked with my website. Somehow now without me changing any settings it has changed the look completely – now when I click on a photo it comes up in a small window surrounded by black with “Like this”, etc on the bottom (which I definitely don’t want).
Before it used to stay in the theme of my website, with a couple of thumbnails underneath and the text “back to gallery” underneath it – I much prefer it this way.
Does anyone know why it changed and how to change it back?Thanks

Staff have changed this. See here > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/new-photo-carousel/ and here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-switch-gallery-out-of-carosel-view?replies=50#post-739969 We cannot change it back at this time. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-switch-gallery-out-of-carosel-view?replies=50#post-739978.

You’re welcome. Hopefully, there will be a means of opting out of the Carousel provided very soon.

I was quite upset also to see that this had happened on my website’s gallery page, too. It really complicates the links that I wanted and comments on each image!
Thanks for posting this- I hope we can be able to change it back to the great way it was if we want to.

@lizapaizis- Staff have said that this is the first version of the Carousel and that they will be adding other features. See Staff reply here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/new-photo-carousel/#comment-142420

My site has been built around six photo galleries and I’ve had to take them off line because they look ridiculous on this stupid Carousel. Surely, when changes like this are made they should be on an ‘opt in’ rather than an ‘op out’ basis. Only the blog author should have the right to change the way content is displayed.

I agree, the carousel presentation is not compatible with the way I was presenting my photos. I hope it is changed back or at least presented as an option if there are people who want to use it, but let those who prefer the original method be able to utilize that.
