    I am updating a website for a client who is using this plug in. I searched on this forum for this answer – and found this:

    To edit an existing gallery:
    Hi Jane

    Photospace takes advantage of the built in gallery features of WordPress. Just ad a galley like normal. It will override the default gallery.

    Does this mean I have to completely recreate the gallery if I want to go in and, for instance, just change the name/caption of an image?? That seems very odd. Is there no way to simply edit an existing gallery without starting all over for each one?

    Hi,

    No the plugin will override existing galleries. Please try it and let me know if you have any issues.

    You may have to rebuild your thumbnails.

    I’m confused (I think) – So I can’t just open a gallery and make a change – for instance, if one image out of 30 on a page has a spelling error in a caption – I have to rebuild the entire gallery and then overwrite the old one?

    I am working on this site: http://lisajenningsart.com/paintings/ (this is just one page out of many galleries on the site. The site owner is a painter and sculptor.

    She wants to remove some image, add the word “SOLD” to some images – so the only way I see to do this is to (tell me if I’ve got this sequence correct):

    Open the page where the gallery resides.
    Click on “Add Media”
    Click on “Create Gallery”
    Click on “uploaded to this page”
    Select all the images I want to keep on the page
    De-select all the images I don’t want to keep on the page
    Edit the text for the Caption to add or change any text needed
    Click Create New Gallery
    …Then….if I see that I missed something…I have to go in and do that entire process again??

    There has to be a better way! What am I missing?

    Edit to the above sequence –

    It seem just de-selecting an image does not remove it – do I have to “Permanently Delete” any image I want to remove from the page?? But she doesn’t want them permanently removed – only removed from that page…

    It’s just a normal WP gallery. See here https://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_Gallery
