# Gallery Problem

 * Recently I’ve switched hosting providers, and my new host didn’t come prepared
   with a lot of the required php extnsions/moules for running wordpress smoothly.
   I’ve had my membership plugin authors tell me a few that were required for their
   plugin to run, as well as one that I found out was needed for wordpress to create
   proper thumbnails.
 * I got some of those installed, I believe they were DOM, XMLWriter, mbstring, 
   pdo, pdo_mysql, XMLWriter library for PHP.
 * There may have been one more that I’m forgetting.
 * Does anyone have any idea why my gallery isn’t looking proper? It’s just the 
   standard wordpress [gallery] shortcode, with the ID’s to the media files. I’ve
   included a screenshot so you can see what it looks like live, I’ve zoomed out
   a lot on the page just so I can show the big blank spots between the thumbnails.
   In addition to this, the thumbnails are sometimes blurry.

 * The spacing is being controlled by your theme. What theme are you using? Where
   did you download it from?

 * Check that the latest version of GD Library is installed on your server.

 * Hey, thanks for the response. I’m using Headway Themes drag and drop theme. I’ll
   try looking around more to see if I can find that! Also checking to see if I 
   have the latest version of GD library, but I think that might have been the one
   extension I forgot to list.

 * I’m sorry but as you appear to be using a commercial theme, you need to seek 
   theme support from the theme’s developer/vendor. We do not have access to, nor
   do we support, [commercial products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
   here.
