questions regarding image sizes and captions

i solved #4 and you can ignore #5 ?? i had the setting on for max 900pix CSS Stylesheet Editor on the bit on the right hand side where it says content width.
easy!
Also looks like the slide show is just the way it is.
still stuck on the other 1,2,3 though. Thanks for any help!

maybe everyone is watching the footy lol.
ok seems i am figuring that the reason why #2 is happening is a theme issue, so just waiting to hear back from the theme guys about that. Unless you can help me?

i figured out #1 – i just make my images large enough, duh.
and #3 i would love to see another option for jetpack galleries- a way to have thumbnails not so spread out, or a little more spacing on the tiled squares as an option.

Sorry for the delay! Since your thread had more than one reply, it slipped my notice. Despite watching footy! ??

Looking into #2, the text is actually being centered properly in the thumbnail grid, but the images themselves are aligning left within the grid. Add this CSS to your theme’s CSS to fix it:

dl.gallery-item img { display: inherit; }

Regarding the spacing of the galleries, Tiled Galleries are built to fill your theme’s content width. You can define a specific $content_width value by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
    $content_width = 800;

Your theme’s content_width is currently set to 950 pixels.

If you do not feel comfortable editing theme files, you can also use the Custom Content Width plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-content-width/

I hope that helps!

Carolyn!!! thanks so MUCH!
i was getting frustratus because the theme support did not answer me and it was day 6. It worked!
I have asked them for more help- but since they are disappointing, maybe you can answer me-
how can I make the font the same as the other fonts on my website ie the default paragraph font- for some reason these thumbnail captions all have a larger bolder font looks italicized too and it does not match. thanks for help ?? ??

Also regarding issue #3 and spacing, it was not so much the size of images but the spacing of the white, a way to make the white space bigger. thanks!

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide support for another developer’s paid theme. They really should help you – especially since you’re a paying customer. ??

Have you tried getting their attention on Twitter? Here’s their profile – it seems they respond to inquiries there too: https://twitter.com/themetrust

The Themes and Templates forum here is also great place to get help from people who know a ton about CSS and theme customizations – might be another good place to ask for help with the little tweaks and customizations you’re looking for? Here’s the link for your convenience: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/themes-and-templates

Regarding #3, that does adjust the “white space” of gallery – the gallery automatically adjusts to fit within the content_width of your theme so you would need to increase the content width to give it more space. Otherwise you can look deeper into the code and adjust the margins and padding of each thumbnail using CSS.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but I hope that helps you get started! Let me know if you have any questions.

you are an angel, thanks so much for all your help, have a braw day!
