    Hi there,
    I generally know what i am doing on WP, but not this time.

    I have made the site, that is all fine, but on mobile devices the galleries are really bad, and i would like to show the images full size instead of as thumbnails.

    My thought is to create new pages for the galleries and then when people are on mobile or tablet they are automatically sent to those pages.

    I have no idea how to do that, or if there is a better…

    Please helps me
    thanks in advance

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • You will have to create media queries in your CSS that will assign different CSS rules based on the visitor’s screen size.

    Thats sounds a bit out of my league but i will check it out a bit more. Thanks, any tips?

    @steve Stern

    I’m using the Lens theme, i’ll have a look and see what gallery plugin it is… I think it is whatever PixelGrade uses, i’m not sure how to find out, happy to check if you let me know how.

    Thanks

    It appears that the gallery is part of your theme. As you use a commercial theme/plugin and need support, please use their official support channel. We feel they are best equipped to support their products.

    Yeah i did contact them and they said they couldn’t help me, i thought here might be able to help point me in the direction of how set up different pages to be loaded depending on the device, which was my original idea, just lacking the execution part of it.

    Thanks

    Please do not use the @ notification on replies. Also, I’m not “@steve”, so your possibly sending email to someone else!

    My preferred gallery is the basic gallery with Jetpack, enabling both “tiled galleries” and “carousel”.

    Please note that we do not support commercial themes, so anything theme-related is off the table here.

    Ok thanks, i didn’t know sorry.

    If i am using jetpack for the gallery, how would i start to go about setting one type of gallery up for computers and a different one for devices. is that even a possibility?

    Thanks again

    No, that’s not a possibility without a bunch of coding, which brings us back to your theme (and we don’t go there).

    Ignoring my theme, would the coding be CSS based, i have a decent standard knowledge so i can work it out, just need to know if CSS would be the right direction.

    Thanks again for all your help

    No it would be PHP and CSS based. If it was CSS we could help you without having knowledge of the theme.

    Unless. Try this.

    In the “Additional CSS” section of the dashboard add this:

    
    @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    
        html #gallery-1 .gallery-item {
            width: auto;
        }
    }

    Great, I think if your requirement was to change the size of thumbnails to make them larger on desktop then you would have a nightmare, as that would likely be a PHP change.
