No matter what I do I can't get an image gallery working.
-
No matter how many times or what method I use to upload PDF files into a gallery, I can’t get them to appear in a gallery. I can see that they’re all uploaded in the bottom of the “Create Gallery” window, but they never show up in the are as images in the main window. It even says, “9 Selected” but I can’t do anything after that.

Your blog is only one week old! Please work through this excellent tutorial to acquaint yourself with the WordPress.com platform:

Galleries are for image files only.

Well thank you for your post, but it does clearly state in the create gallery screen that PDF files are accepted. So please forgive me for not having read the 6 documents and tutorials you’ve posted. I’ll move on to a different format.

Yes, you can upload files of all sorts to your media library (see link above) but only image files can be used in a gallery.
1. You could upload images related to the pdfs to your library.
2. Put them into a gallery.
3. Link each image to the pdf file. -
I would be hundreds of file conversions to jpgs. I’ll just have to find another system. Thank you.
