Inline galleries used to work just fine on my site () with Catch Box theme. I’m not sure when it started but now they display images in one column only. When I tried to switch to Twenty Fifteen it started to work again. Any ideas? Thanks…

Hi @Petr Sabata,

This is a bug and will be fixed in the next update. For now please go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” box and add the following CSS.

#content .gallery-item {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
}

Mahesh

Thanks, that worked.

Yes that worked for my sites too. That took about 2 days to find out!

Now the caption screws up the layout. Instead of wrapping and having each picture in a 1/3 of width box the caption does not wrap and if it is very long the box for the picture is very wide. There are still 3 columns but the columns are even depending on caption length.

So the CSS suggested was not complete. It needs something to force 33% width so the caption wraps.

Also the picture should be top aligned and not pushed up if caption is too long and pushes up picture.

I will have to fiddle with CSS to get a better result with very long captions that are wider than the thumbnails above them.

If you have the CSS answer please give it.

See mepsa.org gallery photos 2014 to see lousy long caption layout with above CSS.

Caption does not wrap and forces width of box to be very wide and make 1 to 3 columns per row.

I came up with CSS:

#content .gallery-item {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
width: 33%;
max-width: 300px;
vertical-align: text-top;
}

Hi @wwwalker,

Sorry for the late reply.
That’s great to know that you’ve found the solution to your issue by yourself. I was about to check your site but seems your site’s down with message “Error establishing a database connection”.

Let me know if any problem.

Yes. I just changed hosting but had to update database connection string. That is now fixed. I only just found my database error when I tried to open site on new hosting with database connection error. It is now fixed. You can check it now if you like. Site looks fine on new hosting and with software all fixed up re WordPress etc.

Saga is over of updating site, moving hosting and delegating domain.

Have a nice day!

Mahesh
