Since nobody here knows the answer, I thought some may at least be interested in the steps that were taken to try and nail the issue down:

In the end, nobody could solve the riddle of why WordPress limits galleries to 995 images. I had to re-create my galleries entirely, only putting 100 images per gallery and manually paginating using the nextpage code:

‘<!–nextpage–>’

So each page now contains multiple galleries instead of one large one. This probably is better for performance, and allows me to direct link to each page of the gallery, which I could not do previously with Paginated Effects Gallery. But it’s annoying that it was necessary in the first place and that WordPress has no documentation regarding it. Perhaps one day that will be rectified.

It appears the problem is worse than I thought. It’s the last 400 or so images that are not showing up. It’s possible that this has been happening for awhile without my knowledge. I don’t always double check my pages after I’ve added images to them – although I’m pretty sure I’ve checked it within the last 400 images! But perhaps I didn’t realize that it was adding a few, and not displaying many others that I’d added in the past.

So I guess my new question is this: is there a 1,000 image limit to WordPress galleries?
