Thumbnail opens carousel?
-
I have read about how to add a gallery to a blog post. Unlike many of the comments on this forum, I’m actually liking that clicking on a gallery photo opens the carousel view. However, I’m finding that the “gallery” feature is lacking. I have several images that I want to add to a post. However, I don’t want to display all the images in rows and columns on the post itself, as the “gallery” feature does. What I would like is to display only one featured gallery photo on the post. When this featured photo is clicked, the carousel view then opens where all the gallery photos are then seen. Essentially, this would be like a single thumbnail that opens a multi-image carousel. Is this not possible?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you upload multiple images by any means it will show in a carousel view never the way you want it to be. There’s no other way to avoid carousel than to upload images one by one. Which is too much time consuming. I suggest you to be happy with what it is.

I don’t know if your theme supports the “gallery” post format or not, but you might take a look at that if it does.

@Rich: Gallery post format means one image on the main page only – the single post view will still display all the images.
@btye79:
a) Upload all the images via the Add Media button of the post then click Insert Gallery.
b) Go to Media > Library (faster if you use a second browser window) and get the ID number of the image you want to display. To see the ID number, hover over the image and check the status/progress bar of your browser, or hover over, click Edit and check the address bar of the browser.
c) Back to the post editor, switch to HTML and change the gallery shortcode to this:
[gallery include="ID NUMBER HERE"] -
