 * I was adding a new album and when I saved it my Gallery page now has no galleries
   associated with it-no albums-no images. All of my images are on my individual
   pages but no longer in my gallery page. Can I restore to an earlier version? 
   Or, how do I fix this?

 * Standard WP galleries and their images are always associated with the post or
   page they are uploaded to. Not sure what you mean by albums.
 * In any case, if you want to show existing images on your site as a gallery, they
   need to be re uploaded to a post/page where you want the gallery to be, so you’ll
   have 2 instances of each image. The original and the gallery. As far as I know
   there’s no way to assign existing uploaded images to a new gallery. Odd as that
   may seem.
 * If you want to show an existing gallery on a different page or post, just use[
   gallery id="id#"] replace “id#” with the id number of the post or page where 
   the gallery was originally created.

 * Thanks for your reply. I clciked on the wrong button on my gallery page-I clicked
   on e-commerce and things went to hell. I got it fixed. Thanks.
