 * I’m hoping someone can help me. I have a photographic web site at:
 * For some reason, the images in 2 of my galleries (Landscape and Metal Detecting
   Finds) are displaying in one column down the middle of the page rather than in
   a multi-column spread. Any ideas please?

 * On a page that works, Natural World Gallery, the HTML for your gallery looks 
   like this (I’ve obviously removed most of the gallery items for legibility):
 *     ```
       <div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-140 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'>
           <dl class='gallery-item'>
               <dt class='gallery-icon'>
                           <a href='http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Whale.jpg' rel="lightbox[140]" title="N1 Humpback Whale"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Whale-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail" alt="N1 Humpback Whale" srcset="http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Whale-150x150.jpg 150w, http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Whale-45x45.jpg 45w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>
               </dt>
               <dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>
                               N1 Humpback Whale
               </dd>
           </dl>
           ...
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Which looks valid.
    But on the Landscape and Metal Detecting pages, the gallery
   HTML is incomplete for some reason:
 *     ```
       <dl class="gallery-item">
           <dt class="gallery-icon"></dt>
       </dl>
       <dl class="gallery-item">
           <dt class="gallery-icon"><!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php -->
           <dl class="gallery-item">
               <dt class="gallery-icon">
                   <a href="http://www.chrishall-photography.com/metal-detecting-finds/attachment/398152_10150444970785706_9990288_n/"><img class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail" src="http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/398152_10150444970785706_9990288_n-150x150.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/398152_10150444970785706_9990288_n-150x150.jpg 150w, http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/398152_10150444970785706_9990288_n-45x45.jpg 45w, http://www.chrishall-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/398152_10150444970785706_9990288_n.jpg 206w" alt="M1 Philip & Mary sixpence, 1555" width="150" height="150" /></a>
               </dt>
           <dd class="wp-caption-text gallery-caption">
               M1 Philip & Mary sixpence, 1555
           </dd>
       </dl>
       <p>
       ```
   
 * There’s no enclosing, parent div such as `<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery 
   galleryid-140 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'>`, and there are incomplete
   HTML tags (that last <p> tag above) and empty gallery items which may also be
   throwing it out.
 * Are you using shortcakes to place these galleries? If so, check that you have
   entered the shortcake and any attributes correctly.
 * Otherwise, if you are cutting and pasting from somewhere else, you have not copied
   the full, correct block of HTML to form the gallery.

 * Hi Neil.
 * I’m really grateful to you for taking the time to help. My daughter manages my
   web site so I’ll forward this to her. The strange thing is, a few days ago all
   the galleries were looking as they should. I haven’t done anything in the meantime
   other than add a Blog page.
 * Thanks again.
 * Chris
