Thanks for those actions – some I have not tried. I did uninstall Jetpack – and that did help a bit. I will try your suggestions.

But I still have to say that I am not the only one having the problem and not on the same hosting company, just because you think its working perfectly well on a vast majority of sites – doesn’t mean it is so, alot of them may not even be using the gallery….just saying.

I’ll post my results of your suggestions

How can that be? And if so then tell me how to fix the problem.

Yes I’ve done exactly that – did you read the other thread I pointed to. I have other sites as well that its working on – seems to hit some themes and not others.
You’re pretty strong about it not being a WordPress bug. How are you so sure?

Yes I uploaded several and worked on alot of issues. I did find another post that I think is related and very interesting. You can find it here.

After reading it. I uninstalled the JetPack plugin. Still no gallery, but I was able to install a plugin called SlideShow, not the answer to the problem , it works but its clunky as in I have to add all the media to the post/page then it gives me a gallery then I have to edit the gallery and add [slideshow] to the bottom of the HTML code, then I have to go back and delete all the photos, then walla I have a very nice looking slide show. Alot of work, but right now my customer is happy.
The short of it is it still does not work correctly. If you read the other post its happening in many themes, seems like WordPress has some work to do, and not paying attention to the problem.

no its is free and I have figured out to resize everything.

The Worpress.com Theme showcase. I’ll be working on functions.php soon. Will let you know how it works out.

How would I know its a commercial theme? Its offered on the theme showcase. Aren’t all but the premium themes editable if your self hosted?
