My new galleries look fine in Chrome and Safari but won't scale images correctly in Internet Explorer 8:

Examples:

1. In IE8: http://gullmars.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/wp_com_gallery_in_ie8.png
2. In Chrome: http://gullmars.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/wp_com_gallery_in_chrome.png

Site: http://gullmars.se (resolves to http://gullmars.wordpress.com)

Theme: Contempt (with custom CSS: wider area, frames on single images etc)

Is this a known issue? If so, can I expect a solution or is IE8 no longer supported?

Best regards,
David

I also do have Jetpack and someone there was suggesting disabling it - which I did and that didn't work either (it just disabled all of my other work)

I compared the .com here and my self hosted - settings - and noticed that the "enable" is missing on my self hosted - but it displays in the settings on the .com - all of the other settings display that 'appear' to be choices when you create a gallery but that setting in settings/media isn't there ...

Thanks for your kind help - hopefully I'll find someone equally knowledgable and helpful over ☞

@maggielooacademy - You have 10 images in your Gallery and so the Square Tiles gallery setting is making one of the images larger to fill the entire content container space. Best to upload multiples of 3, or switch to the default thumbnail grid gallery. See here: http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/shapes-and-mosaics-new-ways-of-displaying-your-gallery-thumbnails/

If you don't like the way the default thumbnail grid displays portrait and landscape images, then better still to edit and crop your images to be square from the start and then upload them and again insert using the default thumbnail grid Gallery.

I'm having trouble with the gallery. Currently I'm using Oxygen Theme. The first image of the gallery is larger compare to the others, is there any way I can standardize all the image to 1 size?

I been looking for an answer for awhile now, and i don't seem to find it or understand.

I have enable carousel and tiled galleries. Please advice.

Here's the blog http://maggieloomlmba.wordpress.com/associates/

Thanks !!

I no sooner posted that I noticed i was posting to the .com forum and not the .org - so I'm not sure if the same methods apply for a self hosted site?

I see the settings for the carousel - in Settings/Image Gallery Carousel - though I DO NOT see an "Enable Carousel" there -

AND I do see all of the selections when I insert a gallery - but only the normal default gallery displays...

And are you referring to the site linked to your username (which looks mostly to be for testing) or a different WordPress.com site?

Glad I found this thread though ❤

I am attempting to set up a gallery page with either a slideshow or "square" type gallery but because I don't even have the option of "cool mosaic" in my media settings, I cannot attempt to alter the code / text of the page.

Do you know why this is?

Cheers!

My next experiment is length of caption and how it renders in a post - all good fun!

Thanks once again, Jennifer.

You're most welcome.

Ah, I didn't realise the default gallery sizes could be altered. I'll certainly have a play with that.

On a similar vein, I put together a gallery from the Media Library - some of the images are already featured in another gallery. Any captions that I had duplicated. I imagine the only way around this is to upload the images to library again so they are attached to a fresh post.

Many thanks for your guidance, it's much appreciated.

With best wishes,
Mike

Also, if you are using the default thumbnail grid, you can modify the Gallery shortcode in the Post Editor's Text tab to change the size of the image being displayed in the Gallery. You can read more about that here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode

Even more here:
http://gammagirl.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/not-the-official-wordpresscom-gallery-faq/

and there are demos here: http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/

Removing one of them or adding a couple more would ruin the concept of this post, so it's a case of living with the big 'number one'.

I find the tiles are generally far too large and can't figure out a way of resizing them, so for now my default is the old style.

It would be great to use the mosaic more often, so I look forward to hearing about any fixes.

With best wishes,
Mike

Yes, I can confirm that it now works in my blog, at least in every browser except IE8 (but I already knew that). Thanks for your attention.

If you default back to the thumbnail grid gallery, then there won't be anything for Staff to troubleshoot. :)

Also, do make sure you are using an up-to-date web browser, preferably Firefox or Chrome.

Here is the link to a previous post where I gave up and posted a default gallery.
http://theurgetowander.com/2012/12/27/a-gentle-initiation-to-the-land-of-a-million-elephants/

Is there some way we can opt for the old uploader? It worked just fine!

Someone will report back when we find a resolution to this.

On another note, if you want to display a shortcode as text on your site you can use a little trick. Add and extra square bracket to each end like this:

[[gallery type="rectangular"]]

and it will display like this:

[gallery type="rectangular"]

instead of being rendered as a shortcode.

At full width, without a sidebar, in this post, published after the new Media Manager was implemented, the tiled mosaic works completely fine and then in this post, published before the new Media Manager was implemented and where all three Gallery types are used in a single post, the tiled mosaic (rectangular) behaves exactly like my above screenshot for Nishita. The Gallery thumbnails appear in a single line across the width of the content area, rather than being a tiled mosaic. Resizing the browser window (in this case FF 17.0.1) does not change anything, however, adding a sidebar does make the tiled mosaic appear.

If need be, I'll leave Able up on my Gallery demo site through the weekend, though I may be swapping out other themes from time to time.
