My problem is that I am not used to working with point and click, and not knowing where all the pieces of the page are coming from and how they relate to each other. I think I have finally figured it out.
First I have to create a gallery of my portrait images for the page, give it a name, and save and publish it. Then I have to do the same for the landscape images. Next I have to insert two photo gallery blocks into the page, click on the icon for each block individually, and edit and save the options.
What I think was confusing me is that on the “Options” page, under “Gallery”, I was leaving the default “All images”, instead of selecting the gallery I wanted, thinking there would be somewhere else to choose the images for that block. Then I ended up getting both galleries with the same settings.
It is easy once I understand how the interface works, but it took many hours of frustration to get to this point. Thanks again. 🙂
Dear @asyag,
I just saw your reply, as it got lost among all of the junk in my Inbox. I have been trying to adjust the options through the menu on the dashboard, but whenever I do, it changes the options for all of the galleries, not just the one I want to change.
I have never worked with shortcodes. I learned to create web pages with raw HTML, Javascript, PHP, etc. twenty years ago, before WordPress existed. This is a whole different way of doing things that I am trying to get used to. I guess my next step will have to be finding a tutorial or two on shortcodes. The problem is that I am working on this site for someone else, and it is time sensitive.
Thanks for trying to help me.

In reply to: Installed to wrong directoryI was able to resolve this issue with my hosting provider. I had in fact removed all of the WordPress files. I just didn’t notice that the script had renamed my index.html file, which is why it wasn’t showing up on the home page. Duh! Problem solved.
