Why the 9 image limit to galleries? I am not a Ghost User but am considering it for next projects. I work with images a lot and for me it’s a problem that galleries are limited to 9 images. I know I can add as many galleries as I want but that’s not ideal. Imagine if a project contains ten images t…

Ditto! Also, a pop up light box - even a basic one that’s open source would be welcome!

Nine images is fine with me, but another, related thing: I wish there was a way to manipulate the layout a bit. As of now, if I post 5 images they will render render in two rows with two and three images respectively. Six images will be 3x3, four images 2x2 etc. If I wish to have a gallery layout w…

I agree. I’m bummed out about Ghost’s gallery implementation compared to Word Press. Word Press is a far better experience for the visitor. Then once I add to a gallery I can’t figure out how to reorder it. Maybe that’s on me.

Can’t believe this is still a limitation! You can add more images to a gallery by dragging them into the gallery, so why not just enable more than 9 images to begin with?

The reason there is a 9 image limit is because drag and drop re-ordering starts to fall apart when not all of the images fit (vertically) inside the viewport. You can stack image galleries one after the other, and in most themes they will appear as 1 image gallery on the front end, which is an easy…

As a visual artist the main thing Ghost could improve to make it viable for professional portfolios is to improve the gallery or image handling. None of the current themes really address this need, I know Ghost is mostly focused at writers/journalists but simple changes like improving the image gal…
