Galleries and slideshows are a wonderful way to share company photos with your visitors. When this post format is used, the featured image will be hidden and the first gallery found in the post will be shown as a gallery in blog, archive, and search views.
Note that this only applies to excerpts. If you’ve chosen to show full content on blog, search, and archive pages then the gallery will show up in its normal position in those views.
Featured images are hidden for this post format. If you would like for featured images to show up for galleries in blog, search, and archive views, use the following custom CSS on your blog:
[css]
.blog .format-gallery .featured-image,
.archive .format-gallery .featured-image,
.search .format-gallery .featured-image {
display: block;
}
[/css]
If you would like to show gallery image captions in blog, search, and archive tiled views, use the following custom CSS:
[css]
.blog.blog-masonry .format-gallery .gallery-caption,
.archive.blog-masonry .format-gallery .gallery-caption,
.search.blog-masonry .format-gallery .gallery-caption {
display: block;
}
[/css]
