Gallery Summary on 7.1

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY NOT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I couldn't agree more

That breaks my heart!
for example setups like this won't be possible any more:

taliscapital.squarespace.com/portfolio-2

Agreed! I am forced to make all my actual galleries and porfolios into a separate blog in order to display them within other pages which is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS.

Please build this functionality in ASAP!

Another vote for this. I see no good reason why Portfolios and Galleries should not be available in Summary blocks.

The workaround that I just had to do for a portfolio was to fake it using single images and hard coded links, which is inefficient, doesn't update and could lead to broken links.

I honestly don't know why Squarespace released 7.1...... it may be easier to design but has too many restrictions. Frustrating. If I had known this, I would have started with a 7.0 template instead.

I'm also a bit frustrated with the lack of a proper gallery block! My website relies on them as "custom ad spots" for future advertisers, a way that I can update the gallery with a new asset and it's updated across my entire site. I can't figure out a workaround.

You can use this plugin to bring back Gallery Block. I'm using it for 2 client sites.

It's absolutely ridiculous... I love a lot of the features of 7.1 but removing gallery pages and blocks is a total step backwards!
