• I am using gallery shortcode [gallery] for every post to display related images. I almost had 20 images for one post so when i display recent posts in my home page, all images are shown and looks really messy and length home page while showing recent 3 post.

    Can there be any way to limit the attached images of the post to few images with permalink to the post to show full images of that post.

    Excerpt does limit the post text but does not work for images, i know.
    I also tried Gallery Extended for using attributes in [gallery] like [gallery link=file start=1 end=6], and its more flexible for displaying desirable images in the post, but other remaining images are hidden.
    Please help me in this.

  • If I understood correctly, you can do it like this:

    put in the post excerpt [gallery link=file start=1 end=6]
    and put in the post itself [gallery link=file]

    If your theme shows post excerpt on the home page, it will show only 6 images there and all of them on your post page.

    Sorry man!!….. that does work too.
    If i put that in post excerpt then instead of showing image, it shows the code.
    But any thanks for this great plugin, its more flexible for showing images with text up and down…. thanks.

    For my problem, I used Custom fields to show some particular images to the homepage.

    I mean to say……

    Sorry man!!..... that doesnot work.

    Sorry for the wrong tip!

    If you can edit theme files, then you can put in the home page php short code execution in the place near the_excerpt or the_content tag you can show the images like this:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery start="1" end="6"]'); ?>

    I think about, maybe I can integrate some solution in the plugin for you.

    Ya that does work…… its showing only number of images that it mentioned but not so flexible one. One have to go to the template to do that. And also, if when i activate the plugin, all images, when clicked in post, opens separately, not in Attachment template.

    So sorry for that. I also have no idea how to get it open in attachment.php page so users can have our template view and can leave comments and likes on it.

    So still hanging on those custom fields for showing some images in home page. I would love use your plugin if this was possible. Thank you

    I released new version 1.1 where you can set up a default mode for links in gallery. It acts like wordpress gallery by default. And you can have always linked to attachment and to file if you want to (like me).

    >> One have to go to the template to do that.
    Yes. But you know. Such feature is very special and somebody needs it, somebody does not. It is also different in different templates. I think the best solution here – to make changes in the template.
