  Hey there,

  Like everyone else, I was really excited about the new gallery formats. I tried to use them for a new post and it just doesn’t work!
  While all the photos are on the same size, when I add the gallery they look in different sizes and not in order.
  For example in one row you see one photo and on the second one two photos… It looks really messy and not aligned.
  Can someone please help? I was waiting for this feature for so long and really want to use it.
  Thanks!

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

  Please provide a direct link to the post you created so that we can take a look. (We can’t see draft posts.)

  Thanks so much for the quick reply.
  Here is an example of a circle gallery I added:

  As you can see, the photos look in different sizes (although they have the exact same size) and they are not aligned.
  Thanks so much for your help.

  Can you paste here between backticks (usually found to the left of the number 1 on most keyboards) the gallery shortcode you’ve used?

  [gallery type="circle"]
  I thought that maybe this happens because my theme (Fresh & Simple) doesn’t support this feature, however the link you sent me is also from the same theme and it works great there.
  Thanks again.

  That’s because I’m not using a sidebar on that site, only the theme’s default display. :(

  If it’s OK with you, I’m going to add your site to the thread I opened earlier today on other themes that seem to be having troubles with the new Gallery “type” display, and refer it back to this thread.

  Yes, no problem. I hope there will be a solution to this.
  Thank you.

  Hey,
  This is a quick note to let you know that now I’m sure the problems was with my theme.
  I switched to Ascetica theme and all 3 gallery formats are working great.
