  Hi there,

  BTW I am using the classic editor. I don’t want to switch to the block editor as I am not comfortable using it.

  Here are the instructions for the Classic editor:

  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/gallery-block/2/

  What I’d like to do is create a scroll of images with option for the user to stop the scroll and zoom in on one image if he wishes.

  This is what the Gallery with the Carousel option does. However, there’s no way to zoom in to a picture.

  One more question – Can I increase the size of the slide show that I have on the page Popular Home Tutor Apps?

  The size of the slideshow is defined by the width of your theme’s main content area. You can make it wider and this will also make your slideshow larger. However, this can only be done with CSS which is a feature of the Premium and Business plan. Generally though, I don’t recommend making too many alterations to a theme’s design as it might break other elements.

  Thanks. I’ve seen those instructions and did what was suggested.
  But the images are simply not scrolling.

  They just appear according to my selection as a thumbnail grid or whatever… and when I click on an image it zooms in.

  But it wont do what I would like it to do.

  Maybe it has something to do with my theme?

  So for now at least I’m going to leave it as is.

  If you ever come up with a solution for what I need please do let me know.

  Yes I agree with you on this. Making too many changes can mess things up.

  Thanks everyone for your time.

  PS. I’m deliberately not closing this thread right now in the hope that someone may have a solution ….
