    I really like the direct user interface for creating galleries, however I am noticing a couple issues that create confusion that should be made into features to make this plugin complete.

    The permalink displayed at the top does not link to anything except a 404 page.

    It would be very nice if that permalink was a page that had the gallery shortcode automatically inserted into it. If that is not possibly, then the display of the permalink should be removed.

    In addition, it would be very nice if the “/galleries/” permalink perhaps listed all the galleries. I noticed you have the ability to set a featured image for the gallery, so it seems like this feature could be integrated very nicely with an additional admin page.

    Thoughts?

    This is exactly what the plugin was made for. If it does not work automatically please go to: Settings -> Permalinks -> “Save changes”. And please get sure there are published galleries available in your blog.

    Ahhh, okay interesting.

    So I did have permalinks enabled, however I had to change it to the permalink Post name option: “post name”

    Couple more follow up issues, I am on wordpress 3.9.1 in a multisite environment (i am the network operator)

    I am noticing that your screen shots display a taxonomy, however those options don’t show on the admin of the gallery.

    In addition, I am noticing that now with permalinks enabled, I would still like to have better control of the style.

    The theme I have set up has different page templates, these are natively selectable in the “pages” area, however they don’t seem to show up here. Is there a way for them to show for each gallery I set up?

    In addition, at the galleries level I would like to be able to choose the page template from my theme as well.

    Let me know your thoughts, off to a great start, thanks!

    Okay I figured out this issue, and hopefully this will help some other people.

    The galleries permalink is simply an archives page of post type: fancy-gallery

    So to customize this, in your theme copy the “archives.php” template file and rename the copy “archives-fancy-gallery.php”

    Then modify that file to your liking.

    For the single galleries, copy the “single.php” template file and rename the copy “single-fancy-gallery.php” and then again modify that file to your liking.

    Best of luck.
