Hi there,

Yes, that's correct. You need to upload the images FROM the post you want them displayed on.

For the gallery, be sure you have my ZoomBox plugin installed. Ref: http://www.themolitor.com/forums/topic/zoom-box-plugin-by-the-molitor

Best,

Christopher

Thanks Christopher - I now realise that the Add Image block will add an image to the gallery tab if you upload from the Add Image dialogue, but won't add anything if you select an image from the Media Library. Its a bit fiddly because you can only upload one image at a time, but it works without having to disable Gutenberg.

I have another question about the Gallery tab - How do I set up navigation between images? At the moment, I click on an image and it opens up to full size, but there are no options to close the image or move on to other images. I have seen navigation on other sites that use the theme, so i know it is possible...

Hi there,

There should be an add media button accessible still. Take a look around the title input area of the page.

Best,

Christopher

I've found a workaround - I installed a plugin called Disable Gutenberg and whilst it is active, you get access to the Add Media button, which loads images into the post. these can then be removed from the post and they remain in the gallery.
Its not a very clean workflow, so it would be great if you could advise us of a neater solution,
cheers,
John

Hello Christopher and the users of the Producer,

I'm building a site at https://somethingsfromsomewhere.com

There are only 6 Posts - based on the 6 main films made in the project. (look under FILMS category)

Now that Wordpress has updated to a blocks-based visual editor, there is no longer the option to upload images to a particular post (unless they are for Featured Image or Background Image)

So some of my Gallery Tabs have only the Featured Image, some are empty, and I'm not sure how to upload a bunch of images to populate each Gallery Tab.

Any advice?

Cheers,

John
