# Cannot set gallery type

 * I’m using the carousel without jetpack and I do not seem to have the option to
   set my galleries to tiled mosaic under the media>image gallery carousel settings.
   I also tried to set the gallery type in the gallery short code to type=”rectangle”
   but that did nothing. Is there a separate plugin or some snippet of code I have
   to add somewhere in a template to be able to use the gallery type feature or 
   is that not supported in the version without jetpack? Any help would be appreciated!
   Thanks!

 * Tiled galleries is a separate module in Jetpack. It is not part of the carousel.
   Although, pretty sure you can easily add that in without Jetpack. Would have 
   to look into it.

 * I’m very new to WordPress so I have no idea how to do that. If you want to look
   into it that would be great, but until then I will just try find another carousel
   plugin to use.

 * I went ahead and just installed jetpack (there seemed to be a lot of other really
   cool features included) but I still do not have the option to set my galleries
   to tiled mosaic under the media>image gallery carousel settings or set the type
   for the gallery. I have activated the carousel gallery from the jetpack section
   of my wordpress but still no luck. Is there something special I need to do to
   get this working? I’m just using the twenty twelve theme. Is jetpack carousel
   not supported with this theme?

 * Hello,
    I have the same issue 🙁 I run a local install of WP on my computer, 
   but I did not have the “type” field when configuring a gallery I create in a 
   post, they appear as thumbnails. I just install jetpack plugin, and I can now
   select between thumbnails and slideshow, but I still don’t have any of the other
   options stated in jetpack decription (hence: rectangle, circle, tile).
 * I am using adventure journal, so I guess it’s not theme related…

 * Did anyone ever find a fix to this issue? This plugin is so easy to install and
   works great, but would look so much better in my site if I could choose which
   gallery “type”.

 * Hi Guys,
    Any solution for this issue. I cannot see the Type dropdown field on
   the media page either and I am simply using a child theme without any Javascript
   or 3rd party plugins.
 * Thanks,

 * You could use this other plugin: Tiled Galleries Carousel Without Jetpack – it
   has different gallery styles included. Deactivate (or uninstall) Gallery Carousel
   Without JetPack first, to prevent conflicts.
