Hi!
How do I control image gallery display in regular posts? I would like it to display fullscreen gallery, with zoom support, like in the demo, but it just shows the images in lightbox.

Hi, change the gallery type from the details box in the editing screen.

Thanks

regular posts (not portfolio) don’t have that option. I can change format of the post to “gallery”, but that does not help.

Hi, sorry it is not possible by default, you can only use zoom galleries in portfolio posts.

you mean, in regular posts, don’t you? Otherwise you got me confused.
Why have you made such a limitation? if the functionality of full-screen gallery is there, why can’t we use it on any wordpress gallery in any post or page? Is there any special logic behind it?

[ahmetsali]

actually when we are designing the theme we planned to use photo-swipe zoom galleries in only portfolio posts where it makes more sense, and use regular galleries in regular posts. But we might think to improve this feature if we get lots of request about it.

What really makes sense is to make ALL options for gallery display available to users, REGARDLESS of where the gallery is used, instead of introducing artificial limitations. LET THE USERS themselves decide which effect they want to apply, and where.
That way you will keep ALL USERS happy by default, it’s a no-brainer!
