Good to learn the roots of the code, thank you. So far, it has worked well for my needs. The WP Galleries I converted were already sorted and Photonic maintained that. In a couple of cases, I wanted to change the order, and I deleted the Photonic, made the WP Gallery visible, sorted it, and repeated my conversion process. I looked into the code view. But, I do not know the significance of the entities, I did not even attempt fiddling with it. The layout Photonic provides is quite nice, and the Justified Gallery works fine for my needs. I tried Mosaic but learned that its order could be randomly changed.

One thing that would be nice to have, if it is not going to disturb any new or old uses, is to have the gallery conversion be done once I click P on the conversion options without going through the 6-7 extra mouse clicks. I fully realize that this becomes noticeable if one does a series of gallery conversions like I have been doing. All said, Photonic is a capable plugin to display image galleries. Thank you again.

OK, I found a way to experiment with this plugin. I duplicate the basic WP gallery and hide one copy. Then, I convert the remaining one to Photonic and choose a display pattern. This will give me a chance to play with it for a while without losing my exit door if needed. Here is a sample post from my main site. I left two versions of one of the galleries, Photonic and WordPress Gallery, for you to see. After a day or so, I will also hide that basic gallery to maintain article consistency. I have converted a few more in a couple of more recent articles as well.

Thank you for your plugin and help.

I’ll bug you with one more question. If I convert some basic WP galleries to Photonic and after a while it does not work for some reason. What happens if I uninstall the plugin? Do the galleries revert back to basic WP galleries? If they don’t automatically do not revert, is there a manual way of reverting them without going through creating each gallery from scratch?

Thank you for your informative and very quick reply. I made some changes, they don’t seem to disappear now. I switched both galleries to Justified Grid option and they are stable. I also made the other change you suggested. I am very glad to have learned about this plugin as I have many native WordPress galleries, mostly in some kind of a cropped or square thumbnail layout on my primary site. I am also struggling with another gallery plugin, this may offer alternatives. Can your plugin import from other gallery plugins?

I am glad to hear that this deficiency in the block design will be on the improvements list. I will find workarounds. I am also glad that reporting a problem did not result in my account being cancelled this time!!;-)

@milanxy, I want to move just a few galleries to the other site where there are many galleries. In worst case, I will reenter the image title and alt fields. Thank you for your help and guidance.

Thank you for the information and for your quick reply. Much appreciated.
