# galleries vs. blocks

 * Hi guys, is there a way to get more ordered view of the galleries after moving
   to blocks without separate plugins? I’m going crazy.
 * I use the default gallery function without any customisations. I have the “pinnacle
   galleries overriding WP ones” function on, and it works neat on the classic page(
   see [here ](http://klarakolonits.com/en/roles/donna-anna/)for examples). When
   I try to use blocks… well, this happens.

 * 1. Why is the gallery floating higher than the text in the right column?
    2. 
   Can I get rid of the shadows AND possibly also the captions on the miniatures?
   They are sometimes too long and it ends up having a scroll bar on each miniature
   which looks hideous.

 * Hello,
 * The default gallery block is not very good. I recommend finding a plugin for 
   this functionality. I’m not really sure of any, but I’ll check around and see
   if I can find any.
 * I’m going to test this one:

 * I will check it out and see if it works for me, thank you!
 * edit: it’s neat, but unfortunately it hates both tabs and columns. Many issues
   I have with wordpress are related to columns, and even more since blocks went
   life 🙁

 * Maybe you can help me with classic kadence gallery then? This is the closest 
   to what I want it to look like (classic block and kadence overwriting WP).
    I
   can’t get masonry to stack nicely, it keeps having gaps, I also have this issue
   outside of blocks/columns. I even cut the images to the exact same size, but 
   I keep having holes, regardless of the order I put them in. [http://klarakolonits.com/en/mozart/#tab-konstanze](http://klarakolonits.com/en/mozart/#tab-konstanze)
   is an example, and in case you see it differently, here is how chrome displays
   it for me:[http://klarakolonits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/example-1.png](http://screenshot)
 * edit: I set the pics size to large and it seems to behave more logically, but
   if there is any tip how to make it work at all times, I’m all for it!

 * Hey,
    I’m not seeing the gap when I test on your site. Perhaps you’ve solved 
   that? If there is a gap it would usually mean there is a javascript error preventing
   masonry from running. Can you check your console log in your browser?
 * In terms of Gallery options, I hope to have galleries added to Kadence Blocks
   Soon 🙂 Using the shortcode for the classic galleries would also work long term.
   That isn’t going away.
