  1. Hi, I am trying to access more display options for galleries in my blog posts. Is there any way to add a Gallery SECTION to a blog post? It seems like there is no way to add any section to a blog post, let alone a gallery section. This is not to be confused with the gallery-block, which does not have my desired formatting options. It appears that the only type of gallery that can be added to a blog post is a gallery-block... Gallery blocks only have 4 layouts for displaying the images, none of which I like: Slideshow Carousel Grid Stack However, gallery sections have 6 layouts: Grid: Simple Grid: Strips Grid: Masonry Slideshow: Simple Slideshow: Full Slideshow: Reel I much prefer the Grid: Strips and Grid: Masonry layouts due to their versatility in displaying images with a variety of aspect ratios in a single album. The closest layout within the galery-blocks options is just grid. However this doesn't work because you're essentially forced to have them cropped to one specific aspect ratio. Sure, you can uncheck "crop images" in the settings, but then it looks like trash. Gallery-Block Grid layout. Bad for multiple aspect ratios. Gallery-Section, Grid: Masonry layout. Good for multiple aspect ratios.
