Gallery will not display images

    I am unable to get a gallery to work. I can upload images, stack images in posts, select images from the media gallery, add them to a new gallery, but any view that puts the images into thumbnails ( including on the gallery list ) will not work.

    I am sure that this is something simple, but I cannot seem to find it after searching the forums for the last hour. I am NOT using any gallery plugins that are not installed with the basic and initial WordPress install on my site host ( jumpline ). I have, just in case, deactivated each plugin one by one and tried over and over to create just about every combination of ‘gallery’ that I can using the basic WordPress install.

    Step 1. Upload some images. These images can all be put into posts. I can manipulate the size of the images in the post and using spaces and paragraphs, put them into a grid. Images work on their own.

    Step 2. I go to Gallery > New Gallery. I enter a name for the gallery. I Save Draft. I ‘Add Media’ and select an image. Image is inserted. I ‘Add Media’ and select an image. Image is inserted. ( Repeat two more times. ) Save Draft. Preview. I can see that I now have four images stacked upon one another. This is sinfully ugly, but it seems to work.

    Step 3. I go to Pages > New Page. I enter a name for the Page. I Save Draft. I then type ‘[gallery]‘ into the Visual Editor. Save Draft. In the Visual Editor, I see an icon and ‘No Images Found’. Preview. Blank page.

    Step 4. I delete the ‘[gallery]‘ shortcode. Add Media. In the Media Gallery, I choose ‘Create Gallery’. I select the same four images from before. Insert into Page. Yay! All four images are presented in the Visual Editor in columns. Save Draft. Images remain. Preview page > No images. I click the thumbnail and get the popover view. NO IMAGE FOUND.

    What is it about using a ‘Gallery’ in a post that mucks these things up? I have been trying this in various ways for about two hours, searching on the forums for the last hour. I can’t seem to find a post in the forums that isn’t related to that seemingly nasty NexGen plugin. I do not use any plugins not standard with the installation, nor have I mucked with any of the underlying source. This is a standard WordPress install with no frills.

    Could someone please assist me with this or direct me to a troubleshooting page/post that does NOT deal with the NexGen plugin ( or any others for that matter )? I’m trying to get the base installation working correctly before proceeding to any additional layers of complexity.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    I apologize for this post. It looks like the Bootstrap MultiLanguage Gallery Plugin ( Augustech ) plugin was installed ( I didn’t think that I installed anything of the sort. The ‘Gallery’ link in my customize menu has always been there. Disabling this plugin allowed my images to work. It’s a basic image view now, which I can live with.

    I’ll try and test out plugins for a better image viewing experience. I did note that this plugin was not compatible with the current install. I’m not sure why it was included.
