Image Gallery above Portfolio item not working at new portfolio items anymore

Hello, for some reason the image gallery above new portfolio items won’t appear anymore. The slider/gallery does not show the images related to tis portfolio item since my last portfolio-post. I tried this to solve the problem:

  • updating theme and Wordpress and all plugins
  • Checked if I had any extra Java script added to the theme (no)
  • Checked the latest PHP version (is 7.4)
  • deleted the portfolio item and made a new one
  • uploaded all images again
  • tried different browsers and IP addresses

We use this theme since 2021 now and post some portfolio items through the years. We select at ‘Media Type:’ Gallery and ‘Fetured Content:’ media as well as thumbnail but nothing appears. We have tried uploading old and new images from the media library and still no gallery or slider above the portfolio item in front end.

Here is a new portfolio item that has no working gallery anymore:

And here is an old item with a working gallery (last January):

Please help. We tried a lot now but no results…

Hey @macvink,

Thanks! I have provided the info in the secure note. See message on top.

Thank you for the info.

We created a test portfolio item, selected Gallery as the media type, and uploaded random images. This seems to be working as expected, with the images displayed in the gallery (see secure note).

How did you upload the images in the portfolio item?

Best regards,
Ismael

We just upload images to the portfolio-item (add to the content). When I upload images to the portfolio item you created, they don’t show up in the gallery. How are we supposed to add the images to the gallery?

You have to actually upload the images, not just select them from Media > Library. Placing an existing image in the Text editor will also not work. Only images that are uploaded or attached to the post or portfolio item will be included in the gallery.

Please check the secure note for the list of images that we uploaded to the portfolio item.

Thanks. We will try uploading new images.

Hello @macvink,

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Uploading new images works. THANKS! The only question my client has left: in what order does the gallery show images? (order of uploading-date/time or name of the image or…)?

Hi @macvink,

The images are shown in order of the date of uploading.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer.

You’re welcome! Let us know if you have more questions. Have a nice day.
