Hi, Is there anyway to change the URL’s of the thumbnails on the Photo Gallery page? It was working so I have somehow messed things up. I have created separate pages and copied the short codes and these pages links work ok but the thumbnails go to a different URL. This is the webpage: [http://alisonthomasartist.co.uk/wordpress/shop/] you will see 3 thumbnails. These should correspond to the first 3 in the ‘Shop’ navigation dropdown.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

I think this is your main problem. Seems like you have deleted the original individual gallery pages.
Why did you need to create 3 different gallery pages? (the plugin already creates these pages automatically when you create a gallery)
This all ties into the gallery home page shortcode too because the plugin will get the page URLs of each gallery page from the DB. Since it appears that you deleted these pages the plugin can’t find them.
What is the shortcode which is on the “http://alisonthomasartist.co.uk/wordpress/shop/” page?

“Why did you need to create 3 different gallery pages? (the plugin already creates these pages automatically when you create a gallery)”
As a newcomer to WordPress I had created these first and though I saw the ones created by WPS saw that the shortcode could be added to the pages I had created.
I had looked in the DB to see if I was able to change the URL’s for the gallery page but unable to find. Have now presumed they must be in one of the php files. Worst case scenario I start again and chalk it up to experience.

As long as you don’t delete the individual gallery pages which are created automatically, there is nothing to stop you from modifying things on those pages such as the slug etc. The post ID is actually the thing which is stored in the “wps_gallery” table and which links a gallery to a page.

trying to be a neat and tidy person, yes I did delete them. I have learned the hard way and will now recreate from scratch.
Thank you again for your help and speedy response.
John
