* hi there.
* i have been using the plugin to show galleries accross a number of pages and
it has worked well.
* i am now trying to do the same in the wordpress blog post function, but whilst
i am using the correct shortcodes, nothing is actually showing.
* am i doing something wrong or is it not mean to work with blog posts?
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-blog-post%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

* There is no limitation around working for posts – quite a few people use Photonic
that way.
* I am not seeing any markup generated by Photonic on your page. Where are the
photos supposed to show up? Are they meant to be at the bottom of your post,
where you say “Here is a selection of my favourites”? If so, it appears as though
you have a slider plugin trying to display the photos there.

* hi there, it is after that line.
there is no slider there, that large space
is being created by photonic but nothing is displaying.
* the code i have used is this
* [gallery type="flickr" user_id='116628307@N08' view='photosets' photoset_id='
72157696173729392' media='photos' columns='4' tag_mode='all' sort='date-posted-
asc' more='More' layout='masonry' caption='title' thumb_size='s' main_size='k']
* this is similar to the code used on my “pages” which all display fine, the issue
is only with blog posts currently.
* thanks

* i would also add that i tested that code on a “page” and it works correctly,
but when i paste it into the post it does not.

* Umm… that white space is coming due to your slider.
* Right-click is disabled on your site, but if you open up Chrome Inspector, you
will see that the space is from the `swiper-container`. Here is what I see when
I do a “View Source”:
* ```
Here is a selection of my favourites.
```
* The `swiper-container` is from another plugin.
* Is it possible that your other plugin is meant to work on posts alone and is
overriding the `gallery` short-code?

* interesting, i will look into that then as i haven’t manually put a slider in
so it might be part of the theme.

* thank you for your help with this.
it was clashing with another plugin. unfortunately
it was the plugin that operates my entire visual aspect of the theme, so whilst
i can use photonic for my pages, it clashes on my posts.
* hopefully i can find a workaround.
* many thanks

* You can try one thing: using an alternative short-code. See the first option
under Photonic, _Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Custom
Shortcode_.
* First, try setting a value there, such as `photonic`. Then, in your post, use`
photonic` instead of `gallery`. If it works you are in luck… but you have to
change all your pages where you use `gallery` to display Photonic galleries,
and replace those instances with `photonic` as well. If it doesn’t work then
you cannot use them together.
* At the end of the day I wish pay-for-use themes offered some “opt-in” features
this way that let you selectively use some features rather than “lock-in” features;
instead the onus almost always falls on folks offering code for free.

* they are showing now, but i think the page format is knocking it off so i will
have to review this, but i’m closer than I was before. thank you

* As I mentioned in my previous post, in your pages you have to replace the `gallery`
shortcode with `photonic` (to quote: “but you have to change all your pages where
you use `gallery` to display Photonic galleries, and replace those instances
with `photonic` as well”). Essentially you are telling Photonic, “Don’t use the`
gallery` shortcode to render your galleries because something else is using it,
rather use the `photonic` shortcode”.
* To quote from the [description section of the plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photonic/):
* > In case you happen to be using a theme or plugin that already overrides the
> gallery shortcode, Photonic provides you with the option to use your own shortcode
> for Photonic galleries. This lets your plugins coexist. Bear in mind that if
> you deactivate Photonic you will have to remove all instances of this custom
> shortcode, something that is not required if you stick to the gallery shortcode.

* i have made the changes you suggested and it is working now. thank you ever so
much.
as you say, it would be nice if the theme makers added opt out to allow
us to use third party options if we choose. thank you 🙂
