    Any ideas on how to re-order a gallery? I already have the vid files in the media library so I can’t change the IDs. I also don’t want them listed by title.

    I guess I could edit each title and add a number at the beginning but that’s pretty clunky…particularly if I need to reorder at a later date.

    Any thoughts?

    In the “Add Media” popup window, switch the dropdown menu from “All media items” to “Uploaded to this post”. Drag the videos into the order you want and that should update the order of the gallery.

    Thanks Kyle for super quick response. Is there a way to do this with existing vids in the media library rather than having to upload them again each time?

    That is how you do it for existing videos. Drag the icons for the already uploaded videos into the order you want them in.

    Thanks Kyle. I got that to work 🙂

    My next problem isn’t because of your plugin.:-)

    I want the videos on an “album” page in my theme which doesn’t have an “add media button”. I’ve tried making a dummy post and then copying and pasting shortcode to the page but it doesn’t seem to work very well.

    Don’t suppose you have any ideas of a way round that do you?

    The plugin relies on WordPress to tell it which videos are attached to the current post, so when you copied the shortcode to the new post, it was looking for videos attached to the new post, and for some reason your theme designer has decided to make that impossible.

    To point the plugin towards the old post, find the post ID of the old post. When you’re editing a post you can see the post ID in the URL: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=XX&action=edit

    XX is your post ID. In the new album page change the shortcode to [KGVID gallery="true" gallery_id="XX"][/KGVID]

    Thanks! I’ll give that a go!
