Website Log-In and Updating Instructions

 

 

Instructions to Fix Your Post Galleries:

1. Go into the post menu and select the post you want to edit, click edit
2. Scroll down to the gallery you want to fix and click on it, two icons will appear in the upper left hand of the gallery, click on the one to the far left that looks like a graphic of a little mountain (do NOT click the red circle with the line through it).
3. All the way to the right you will see a drop down menu in the upper corner that is set to default on the word ‘attachment’. This is the problem and it is an easy fix. Select ‘media’ on this drop down menu.
4. Click on the blue ‘update gallery’ button in the lower right hand corner
5. Click on the blue ‘update’ button in the right column.

 

Done, now the thumbnails in your gallery will open up to larger images when clicked on! 🙂
