   Hi,
   I've been scratching my head on this one for a while now...
   all I want to do is create a custom image gallery using custom post types and taxonomies.
   I have set up a custom post type with the custom taxonomy "albums".

   How i want it to look is similar to iphoto (if your familiar with it), with which all albums are sorted into a grid with each album square filled with small photos from within the album.

   I have got it semi working on my test site, made live for troubleshooting purposes at drobestudio.j3d-design.com/photos

   As you can see it is currently displaying all of the albums with photo's in. however what it is actually doing is creating a loop for the amount of albums, but only showing the first and only one image from within said loop at that.

   template file code found at: http://pastebin.com/XTZhudNZ

   This has been really confusing to try and explain from my manic attempts to get this going, so if you need clarification on anything. let me know :)

   Thanks for the help guys,
   Jordan

   Maybe a problem here posts_per_page' => -1?

   i cant see how that would cause the issue :/
   thats there to tell it to ignore the posts per page you set in the settings :)

   Thanks though!

   Still no closer to finding the issue.
   It's running a loop for each "album", but it seems to only be the first image of the first loop in each. very bizarre!

   never mind, got it working eventually :D
   had simply missed out the "post_type" arg in the query.

   heres the working, cleaned up code for anybody interested:
