 * Hi guys,
 * Online i can still see the pictures which are placed in several portfolios (which
   are connected to galleries). But when i log in to my wordpress account i am unable
   to see the pictures in the gallery and change for example the order of them or
   delete/add pictures.
    You can clearly see that all the folders in the portfolio
   contain pictures: [http://www.thomasvervuurt.nl/portfolios/nature/](http://www.thomasvervuurt.nl/portfolios/nature/)
 * Printscreen of my wordpress wp-admin gallery:

 * Hope somebody can help me out, thanks!

 * That does not appear to be WordPress’s normal gallery controls.
 * Are you using a plugin to control your galleries? If so, which?

 * Hello James,
 * Appreciate your help! I dont use any plugins for galleries. Only have 2 SEO plugins
   and a google maps plugin running on the website.
 * When i started the website, all the pictures of a gallery were lined up (in the
   printscreen) and i still was able to change the order, delete them, add extra
   taggs or whatever. Now i’m unable to control whats in the gallery or add any 
   pictures.

 * Ok, either something is creating its own gallery dialog, or something is massively
   breaking WordPress’s gallery dialog. 🙂
 * Try deactivating *all* plugins (even the ones you think you absolutely need or
   couldn’t possibly be causing the problem). If that resolves the issue, reactivate
   each one individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * Thanks again.
 * I deactivated the 3 plugins which are running on the website. But unfortunately
   this didnt make a difference.
 * The other solution which you mentioned sounds kinda risky, i dont want to lose
   the website how i set it up until now. Because if i switch to another theme, 
   all the progress on this theme will be overwritten(deleted)?

 * Do you use a child theme?
 * Update/change theme and prepare to build up again. But keep the ‘old’ site’s 
   templates so you can go back and have a look at them when you build the new one.
 * When something is totally wrong I always start with deactivating the plugins 
   and then activate them one by one. But updating to a new theme etc has always
   solved any kind of error! It just takes some extra time, but well worth it.

 * Switching a theme is safe, you can safely switch and switch back from Appearance-
   > Themes in your blog’s Dashboard in a minute or two.
 * You don’t need to setup a child theme or anything else, just don’t delete your
   theme when you switch away from it for a minute or two. 🙂
