# [Gallery] shortcode column problem…

 * Right, I’m at my wits end 🙂
 * I’ve been trying to post images using the new [gallery] shortcode into my blog.
   When I first tried this I noticed all the images appeared in 1 column… so I read
   up on some docs, and added the columns=”3″ parameter to the shortcode. Bad news
   is, it didn’t do anything.
 * Regardless of what I try I can’t get 3 columns to appear, I’ve saved, re-sorted,
   edited, re-saved, read every doc, and even checked the code in media.php for 
   errors. They won’t appear in 3 columns.
 * I can’t find anyone with a similar problem, and don’t have sufficient kmowledge
   of WP to figure this one out.
 * Can anyone tell me;
 * Does your template have any bearing on how a [gallery] is displayed? (I’m using
   Decayed).
 * Is there any way to override the default columns of 1, with 3? (I’ve seen the
   code snippet in media.php on line 384)
 * Any other idea what could be doing it?
 * Thanks in advance,
    n

 * A link to both your sites, preferably to pages that have [gallery] inserted images
   might be a good place to start…
 * Sounds to me like you need to add the CSS for the gallery elements…
 * Since not everyone uses the [gallery] functionality the necessary classes are
   not written in the stylesheet as standard..
