Reduce space around images - Gallery block 7.1 FE

Go to solution Solved by Ziggy,

Hi

I am rebuilding a photography client site from 7.0 to 7.1 and the gallery images don't look as good as her exisiting site.

This is her existing gallery page: https://www.eyesoflove.com.au/gallery - her portfolio is a mix of landscape and portrait images.

It doesn't seem possible to format it to look like this on the new version no matter what I do.

Is there css code to help with this?

Can you share the 7.1 website gallery page?

On the original page you are using a gallery, have you tried doing the same on the new website rather than setting out individual image blocks?

Try using a gallery section set to Masonry rather than a gallery block.

AH! ok so that works, why does SQSP do this, it should be the same settings / design features, I actually had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for your help!

Designs and UI's evolve. The popularity of features change. If SS didn't evolve we wouldn't have gotten v7.0 or v7.1 and SS wouldn't be around today, probably. I don't agree with everything that SS does and I'm often left scratching my head on the whys of things. But SS is a living, breathing, changing piece of technology. Much like any technology. Your cars change, household appliances change, everything is in evolution. Life is not stagnation.

absolutely agree for the most part, but some features like gallery block / masonry could be the same thing to avoid unnecessary confusion
