  I’ve checked all the forum topics and tried everything suggested but cannot get the gallery to work on my photos page. No gallery tab shows up on the add media page. Only From Computer, From URL, Media Library. There is no Gallery tab there.
  Thank you, Tom

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

  Have you uploaded the photos to the particular post? It doesn’t work with hotlinked images or images already in your media library.

  @ciscotom- The Gallery tab will only appear in the Image Uploader after you’ve uploaded photos to a specific post or page and clicked “Save all changes”.

  A couple of resources that may help you:

  //psssst! rain, you can use “includes” to grab photos from the Media Library.

  Thank you – It’s working now. These are all good resources that are provided. The key was that the images were already in my Media Library. After deleting those and uploading again, the Gallery tab appeared. Thanks again.
