I responded by email but maybe I was supposed to respond here instead.

Photo Gallery Version 1.6.3

Thank you for your reply!

My apologies, I don’t really know css but I do recognize it. I should have asked…. Is the code that you provided is meant to be inserted somewhere specific or to replace whatever current .page settings are already there?

I appreciate your help with this
Thank you

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you so much for your reply. In what block should I paste that code?

Thanks for your kind assistance Kartik! Neither are the plugin that was originally there but Hot Random Image is close. I’ve installed it and the only difference seems to be that the images don’t change until a new page is loaded. It could be that I just haven’t been able to find the setting for it but in any case, it plugs the hole in my page. Thank you so very much for taking the time to narrow it down for me. I had looked but was overwhelmed at the number available and I didn’t know how to search to narrow it down to my needs. I don’t know of a way to review what plugins I’ve recently deleted to try to get them back.

THANK You for discovering an alternative!

Thanks so much for the clarification. No wonder I had so much difficulty!
I was trying to add groups of associated files to the same block rather than one file per block.

Don’t know how I missed that basic point!

I looked at the link you provided. Unfortunately the video wasn’t working but you were very clear in your answer.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Thank you so much! That’s what I was looking for!

Never mind

The solution was to go to Event Settings Display tab and check “Use updated calendar designs.

I wish that tip had been on the things to check list. The calendar is stuck in List display but at least the events are on that much.

Thanks so much. That’s a relief because I didn’t see any option to also back up the uploads folder. I just left everything in the default settings and crossed my fingers.

Thanks again for your assistance with this!

Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you for the link to explain the “database” I don’t use “posts” only pages and events so I’m still not certain that I have a database but I guess it can’t hurt anything to ask to back it up. I’ve downloaded updraftplus plugin but I wanted to get a better understanding of how to set it up. I did NOT know anything about files stored in the hosting space but I’ll look for that question. Hopefully that is something it will ask or maybe you’re telling me that I should do that manually somehow in addition to backing up the database. Going to find out now if the question about the uploads directory comes up. I don’t think I would know how to navigate to it to back it up manually.
Thanks again

Never mind. I eventually figured out that the default is the order listed within the gallery. I’ll try experimenting on a sample page before I delete my table. Thanks again for your persistent efforts! I’ll let you know if it finally works.

Thank you for the video. I see that you selected “Default” and “Ascending” but what information is used for sorting? I played the video several times but never saw you select what is to be sorted (Title?, Description?, something else?) It may be that either I am not sorting based on the right bit of information or maybe it’s not possible to sort the display with the basic version of Photo Gallery. In any case, you’ve “gone above and beyond” to try to help. Thank you

I appreciate your attempt to help and it could be just a miss communication on my part. When adding images to galleries, the new images ARE added to the top of the image list (within the gallery). My issue was when I tried to DISPLAY the gallery on a “Page” using that same order. I couldn’t get the plugin to keep adding my newest image first when DISPLAYING the gallery on a web page. As a result I was forced to resort to a Table so that I could order them in that way. Now I just need to add a new row at the top of my table as needed and fill it with my images. Not as easy as *if* I could have figured out how to get the same result with the Photo Gallery plug in but it does function as I wanted. Thanks again for trying.

I gave up and used a table instead. At least that way I can control the order my images are displayed.
