Alphabetical Galleries

  • Hello All. I have a new issue with the gallery function. I’m running WordPress 5.5.3 in Classic Editor mode. I don’t use a special gallery plug in, just the standard included in WordPress. I have a gallery of gallerie – that is to say that when you click on Gallery on the website, you then get a list of 117 other galleries all with their own images inside. When I click on ‘all galleries’ on the editor sidebar, I get the list of galleries to edit or add to etc. For three years of running the website, that list has been alphabetical – but all of a sudden they show in date order. If I click on the little arrow by the title header, they sort themselves into alphabetical, but they won’t stay there anymore. If I move away from the galleries and then come back, they’re back in date order. And they continue to show that way on the website. Does anyone know how to get it back so it stays alphabetical?

    Your gallery HTML does not look like classic editor gallery HTML, nor is there an All Galleries item in the default editor sidebar. I suspect the gallery functionality was bundled with your theme. In any case, if the list was sourced from the WP_Query class like most image attachment posts are, we can alter the order in which items appear. The challenge will be applying the proper order where you want it without influencing other queries. How to best accomplish that is best answered by the developers of your theme or the source of the gallery code. It really does not appear to be WP core gallery code.

    Try asking in your theme’s dedicated support channel.
