    Great theme! This question was asked before but I still never got it to work.. I wanted to get a gallery like yours:
    https://andersnoren.se/themes/lingonberry/?p=1892

    How do I go about this? I made a new post, selected “gallery” under “format” and inserted photos. However, I am either just getting thumbnails via “create gallery” or the photos itself.

    Please help! Thank you!

    Hi itsmejmeeee,

    Thanks for the compliment! Here it is, step by step:

    1) Create a new post.
    2) Select the Gallery post format in the menu to the right.
    3) Click Add Media.
    4) Upload the images you want to include in the gallery.
    5) Close the add media tab.
    6) Publish the post.

    The images should now be displayed as a gallery above the post. Let me know if you got it working.

    It still does not work. When I go to view the post afterwards, it gives me a “page not found — error 404 — It seems like you have tried to open a page that doesn’t exist. It could have been deleted, moved, or it never existed at all. You are welcome to search for what you are looking for with the form below.” (https://www.jaimeyounglee.com/1253/). When I click to go my landing page where it should be located it, it unfortunately shows up as thumbnails. What should I do?.. :/

    Hi itsmejmeeee,

    I’m unable to locate the post (or the blog page) on your site.

    Hi itsmejmeeee,

    You don’t need to add the gallery to the post content (i.e. click Create a new gallery) when you have uploaded your images to the post. You only need to upload the images from the Add Media dialogue from within the post.

    Also, you cannot use images already uploaded to your site in the gallery. You’ll need to upload the images from your desktop in the Add Media dialogue for the gallery function to work. If you follow those steps, the images should be visible in the gallery.

    Okay now it is working. I felt like an idiot this whole time.. Is there a way where I can link the photos in the gallery to another page?

    No worries! I’m glad you got it working.

    I’m afraid there’s no such function in Lingonberry, and given the way the gallery post format in WordPress works (or doesn’t work, to be precise) I don’t have a way to add it in the future.
