# Cannot change view

 * I have 7 galleries. The first 6 work just fine. All are set to Lightbox-Gallery
   view. I just added a new gallery with 170 or so images. Whenever I change the
   view, it always reverts back to the default, Gallery/Content-Popup. It does this
   no matter which view I try to change to.
 * I compared the URLs between the working/non-working gallery and there weren’t
   any differences.
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * Update: I found the wp_huge_itgallery_gallerys table, and note that my new gallery
   has no entries beyond the name. I don’t want to have to recreate the entire gallery
   from hand, so I will see if updating the table entry to match the working galleries
   solves the problem.

 * Updating the table entry for the new gallery resolved the problem. However, if
   I go back and try to change the view type or any of the options, the table entry
   is cleared (besides the gallery name) and a few defaulted parameters.

 * Hopefully this will help. I created a new gallery and set the view as desired,
   and saved. It worked. I then added over 100 images. At some point, the view setting
   again got cleared. I looked in wp_huge_itgallery_gallerys and all that was there
   again was the new gallery name.
 * I again updated the fields manually in the db. I then went back to the previous
   gallery, and changed the view options. It also reverted back to all cleared in
   the database. So, whenever I now make any kind of change to the view settings
   they all get cleared.

 * I see that others are having problems with pagination, which I am also using,
   so perhaps this is related.

 * Resolved by using Chrome instead of Firefox 40.0.2. Images now add correctly,
   and gallery settings changes now work.
