“the “gallery”-format will only use the images that are attached to that particular post, which in WordPress means they were uploaded into that particular post.”
Ok I just figured out what this means, I was totally not grasping the concept of how your sample content was working but it’s all clear now and I can create galleries. The only real problem I have now with the galleries is that they don’t display properly on my home page (as I mentioned in my other forum thread)
As for the nivo slider shortcode I’ve managed to get it working but it seems to have some problem with the images being different proportions as seen here: http://jgarcia.hungry.jp/?p=612
I’m guessing this is something related to nivo itself and I’ll just have to make all my images the same proportions?
