I have done further research with all plugins deactivated, I reset 5 posts to select the correct gallery. Checked them with a view in editing process. When I visited the site and selected a gallery, the gallery shown was that of the last edit.
I would like to know of progress on this issue.
Checking the code for this call it refers to the correct gallery slug and the slug in that gallery is correct. But another gallery is selected.

Dear @briansps, hello,
Sorry to hear about the issue and thank you for such a detailed report,
Could you kindly specify the id of the gallery
1) that is supposed to be shown on the page
2) that is currently shown there now?
https://www.staffordphotosociety.org.uk/images-of-members/michelle-sanderson-4/(opens in a new tab) this is an exmaple page. If I go to Web Gallery block and select a gallery, save and view its fine. If I then go to another similar post and repeat then come back to this post, then the gallery selection changes to that I slected for the second post. Checking the code on this page, the code is correct and not changed. Its as if a memory variable in a sub-routine is not being changed.

Dear @briansps, thanks for the details,
When inserting gallery into your other posts were you creating new shortcodes/builder widgets for them or copied the one used originally to insert?
There is a widespread case when users duplicate the created gallery element/shortcode and insert it into other posts/pages – which indeed leads to the case of global updates as all galleries are basically using the same shortcode,
May I suggest that might be the case with your page? I checked galleries on both mentioned pages and both of them are using the same data-shortcode-id=”1171″
Nikita, Thanks for your response and I was using the first post as a template and cloning it as a basis for edit for the next person. I have deleted all the existing posts and started again. With 2 produced the problem I had did not recur. With possibly 40 posts to produce using a template certainly speeds the process. If I produced the necessary posts without gallery inserted and then individually edit and insert gallery would that avoid problem of global updates??
