# Attach gallery function not working

 * I can’t attach galleries to posts. I select the gallery and hit save but it never
   loads up or pushes the gallery link to the post. Has anyone else encountered 
   this? Any advice on fixes/work arounds?
 * Thanks!

 * [@danryinc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danryinc/) – Are you using the
   ATP (green button) to insert your Galleries? If so, are you saying you are not
   seeing the preview image in the editor, or not seeing the gallery after publishing
   the post?

 * Hey Cias,
 * So I here are the steps:
 * – In a post I hit the green button and Next Gen opens
    – I select NextGEN Basic
   Thumbnails – What would you like to display? – I select the gallery I’m targeting–
   I click save and nothing happens. The NG screen does not close and resolve into
   the post. It’s like the save button doesn’t function at all.

 * [@danryinc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danryinc/) – The only thing I
   can think of at the moment is that the button sometimes seems “sticky” … like
   you have to hold it for a second or two (obviously that is still a problem but
   I have seen it in rare occasions … it’s just very hard to actually define what
   is going on).
 * Give that a try, click and hold the button for a bit longer than a normal “click”(
   and immediate release) … if that doesn’t help please submit a Bug Report ([http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/)…
   please reference this topic) so we can get a look under the page and hopefully
   help you sort out this issue.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks Cais,
 * I tried to hold it down a couple of times for a minute and nothing happened. 
   I’ll submit a ticket now. Any work arounds you can suggest in the interim?

 * [@danryinc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danryinc/) – Aside from using
   shortcode structures (which would work fine for simple complete gallery insertions)
   nothing comes to mind without seeing more of the site.
