Title: Wrong gallery selected Last modified: December 12, 2022 --- # Wrong gallery selected * Resolved [briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/) * (@briansps) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/) * I have inserted a gallery into a post, uploaded it and then viewed page. I then went to live site and checked that it was correct. I then selected another similar post and the gallery from the previous post was shown. I have repeated this several times and always get same result. I have been developing this series of posts for a few days but only noted the error today 12/12. I was using most recent update and then roll backed 1 update without any change. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwrong-gallery-selected%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/) * (@briansps) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16293491) * I have done further research with all plugins deactivated, I reset 5 posts to select the correct gallery. Checked them with a view in editing process. When I visited the site and selected a gallery, the gallery shown was that of the last edit. * I would like to know of progress on this issue. * Thread Starter [briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/) * (@briansps) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16300069) * Checking the code for this call it refers to the correct gallery slug and the slug in that gallery is correct. But another gallery is selected. * Plugin Support [Nik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitaanisimov/) * (@nikitaanisimov) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16300253) * Dear [@briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/), hello, * Sorry to hear about the issue and thank you for such a detailed report, Could you kindly specify the id of the gallery1) that is supposed to be shown on the page2) that is currently shown there now? * Thread Starter [briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/) * (@briansps) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16300429) * [https://www.staffordphotosociety.org.uk/images-of-members/michelle-sanderson-4/(opens in a new tab)](https://www.staffordphotosociety.org.uk/images-of-members/michelle-sanderson-4/) this is an exmaple page. If I go to Web Gallery block and select a gallery, save and view its fine. If I then go to another similar post and repeat then come back to this post, then the gallery selection changes to that I slected for the second post. Checking the code on this page, the code is correct and not changed. Its as if a memory variable in a sub-routine is not being changed. * Plugin Support [Nik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitaanisimov/) * (@nikitaanisimov) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16303502) * Dear [@briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/), thanks for the details, * When inserting gallery into your other posts were you creating new shortcodes/ builder widgets for them or copied the one used originally to insert? * There is a widespread case when users duplicate the created gallery element/shortcode and insert it into other posts/pages – which indeed leads to the case of global updates as all galleries are basically using the same shortcode, * May I suggest that might be the case with your page? I checked galleries on both mentioned pages and both of them are using the same data-shortcode-id=”1171″ * Thread Starter [briansps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briansps/) * (@briansps) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16303950) * Nikita, Thanks for your response and I was using the first post as a template and cloning it as a basis for edit for the next person. I have deleted all the existing posts and started again. With 2 produced the problem I had did not recur. With possibly 40 posts to produce using a template certainly speeds the process. If I produced the necessary posts without gallery inserted and then individually edit and insert gallery would that avoid problem of global updates?? * Plugin Support [Nik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitaanisimov/) * (@nikitaanisimov) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-gallery-selected/#post-16308382) * Yes, Brian, that should do the trick, please, try it and let us know if you have any further difficulties, * Best of luck!
