Image gallery columns not working

It could be that you simply don’t have the physical space on your pages to display more than 3 columns of images.

I have the same problem, however I am trying to display only 2 columns. Whatever the number in the columns setting I get a 3 column layout. Anyone have any ideas?

‘[gallery link="file" columns="2"]‘

Thanks for any help or advice.

Site url?

I have tried to edit the media.php file to set the default to 2 columns, however that does not seem to have any effect. I don’t believe it’s space (width) related as I am trying to use less space than available.

esmi, any help or hint is greatly appreciated.

So I cannot find where or how to change the width and space between the 3 images that I want to display in a 3-columned row. I am choosing 3 column everytime when I post a gallery but it seems the spacing needs to be adjusted because when I choose 3, it just squeezes 2 images together and starts a new row. Anyone know how I can achieve this? Look at it at:

I want to display a 3-row. I looked in my style.css and couldn’t find anything for the gallery css.

@ squishyfox

I have the same problem, gallery with 3 columns and line break – did you find the solution?

Try adding:

.container #gallery-1 .gallery-item {width:auto !important;}

to the bottom of style.css.

Wow. esmi – thanks a lot!!
You saved my day. Now it works.

Just a mention that this fixes the gallery columns problem in the Modularity theme, happy days!

ESMI = LEGEND!

That small simple code worked like a charm for me also. Thank you soooo much esmi. You saved me so much time and coding that I don’t know how to do. hehe.
