On some WordPress sites I have worked on the captions run together when a gallery with captions is inserted into the post. This doesn’t happen on all sites and seems to be a CSS conflict.
This issue, however, can be quickly fixed by adding a small piece of CSS to your style sheet.
Almost a year ago I wrote about how a simple gallery could be added to a post or page using the WordPress Gallery Shortcode. At the time I found out about it because include and exclude were going to be added to later releases. It is now part of the shortcode.
Last week I used the gallery shortcode for the Halloweeen themes post but I didn’t want to use all of the images in the gallery – the photo of the cupcakes is in the gallery associated with that post but I wanted to exclude it because it isn’t an image of a theme.
I really like Flickr for photo sharing and to find photos with Creative Commons licenses to use in my blog posts.
There are also a lot of fun Flickr groups on pretty much any topic that you can think of.
So, since so many of us use Flickr I decided to list some of the best Flickr plugins for WordPress.
**UPDATE: I have provided instructions for how to link a NextGen Gallery image to a post or page in the 2.0+ version of the plugin.
If you’ve ever wanted to add additional information about the images in your NextGEN Gallery, you can do so with the NextGen Custom Fields Plugin.
This plugin will add additional fields that you define to each image in the gallery.
The downside of this plugin, is that you have to be comfortable editing the template files. To actually display the data in your new custom field, you need to edit one or two of the templates that are included with the NextGEN Gallery plugin.
