  @bcr8tive – Did you follow these instructions for inserting your Gallery? http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/

  And are you referring to the site linked to your username (which looks mostly to be for testing) or a different WordPress.com site?

  Hi Jennifer,

  I no sooner posted that I noticed i was posting to the .com forum and not the .org – so I’m not sure if the same methods apply for a self hosted site?

  I see the settings for the carousel – in Settings/Image Gallery Carousel – though I DO NOT see an “Enable Carousel” there –

  AND I do see all of the selections when I insert a gallery – but only the normal default gallery displays…

  Hi,

  I’m having trouble with the gallery. Currently I’m using Oxygen Theme. The first image of the gallery is larger compare to the others, is there any way I can standardize all the image to 1 size?

  I been looking for an answer for awhile now, and i don’t seem to find it or understand.

  I have enable carousel and tiled galleries. Please advice.

  Here’s the blog http://maggieloomlmba.wordpress.com/associates/

  Thanks !!

  @bcr8tive – you’ll need to post over at the .org forums, I’m afraid (but to make life easier, you need to install the jetplug plugin to get the Gallery/Photo Carousel functionality that we have built in here on .com ) Best wishes.

  @maggielooacademy – You have 10 images in your Gallery and so the Square Tiles gallery setting is making one of the images larger to fill the entire content container space. Best to upload multiples of 3, or switch to the default thumbnail grid gallery. See here: http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/shapes-and-mosaics-new-ways-of-displaying-your-gallery-thumbnails/

  If you don’t like the way the default thumbnail grid displays portrait and landscape images, then better still to edit and crop your images to be square from the start and then upload them and again insert using the default thumbnail grid Gallery.

  Hi Jennifer and thank you I did that last night after I realized i posted in the wrong place :(

  I also do have Jetpack and someone there was suggesting disabling it – which I did and that didn’t work either (it just disabled all of my other work)

  I compared the .com here and my self hosted – settings – and noticed that the “enable” is missing on my self hosted – but it displays in the settings on the .com – all of the other settings display that ‘appear’ to be choices when you create a gallery but that setting in settings/media isn’t there …

  Thanks for your kind help – hopefully I’ll find someone equally knowledgable and helpful over ☞

  Hi,

  My new galleries look fine in Chrome and Safari but won’t scale images correctly in Internet Explorer 8:

  Examples:

  1. In IE8: http://gullmars.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/wp_com_gallery_in_ie8.png
  2. In Chrome: http://gullmars.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/wp_com_gallery_in_chrome.png

  Site: http://gullmars.se (resolves to http://gullmars.wordpress.com)

  Theme: Contempt (with custom CSS: wider area, frames on single images etc)

  Is this a known issue? If so, can I expect a solution or is IE8 no longer supported?

  Best regards,
  David
