 * Hi Nick,
    Please help, I realize you were only on here 8 hours ago, but i hope
   you will return to save me! I am putting in the shortcode to try and get a pinterest
   style gallery on my page from 4 images I have put in a gallery in the space box,
   but other images are showing instead and not ones from the gallery and not at
   all pinterest style. . sad face.
 * (I think images not showing may be to do with file types – only working for jpg?–
   i saw some one else said that images they wanted were not showing.. maybe it 
   was something like this. )
 * Anyhows.. for a basic pinterest style gallery .. is there anyway you could show
   me the exact shortcode?
    – I can only think I must be doing something very very
   silly. Which is real frustrating as it seems that after so much plugin testing
   this one does everything I want..if only i could use it! many thanks, Mimi

 * The only images it will show , are the images that are in the gallery.
 * [gallery ids="24,523,45,345"] is 4 images. If it’s showing more, than you have
   put more images in it.
 * Nobody has reported anything about images not working. It’s going to return the
   images you have put in the gallery.
 * There is a lot of documentation on the site, showing how to use the different
   shortcodes:

 * Thank you Nick.
    This is not what it is doing at the moment. It is displaying
   image ids different to those chosen for the gallery. I will persist a little 
   while longer.. and let you know how I get on. Thank you for the demo site, really
   helpful.

 * it’s impossible for it do display any other images, other than what is in the
   shortcode, on the page. The code is literally extracting images from those ids.

 * Can you paste here what your shortcode is along with a link to your site?

 * Hiya Nick,
    Sorted! I was going to give you the screenshot and shortcode – But
   seems pointless to waste anymore of your time. . I had a gallery inserted with
   7ids but only 4 images showing – others completely to the 7. No Idea what was
   going on, did not think it possible. I had several other gallery plugins that
   i had tried still installed. . I then deleted and uninstalled them all. Re installing
   only Spaces Boxes and now all is peachy. Maybe the installation was interrupted
   first time or something, or by some craziness it was interacting with other gallery
   plugin.
 * Thank you so much for your replies. Great Plugin!
    Hover over text might be cool
   on a layout.. will see what I can come up with. Do you have a features request
   area? Thanks!

 * I have the same problem. I made space box from 1 picture, but in the page I have
   4 different pictures. And picture what I had inserted, not showing. I had reinstalled
   Space Boxes, but still have the same problem.
