Image Gallery Stacked Option Has Lost All Proportionality

Recommended Posts

I'm in the 3rd day of total loss of proportionality in the stack option of the gallery block. I contacted SSCS Thurs. night and the issue was escalated to engineering team. Since 2007, I've never had engineering not respond. So I have no idea what's going on.

Since 2018 I've used stack blocks for a series of fashion images in a blog post. No problems. These images are not my own. My website has a 100,000+ mo/following of the top creatives in fashion and style.  They love me and AOC because of how I treat their work. Sometimes we quote a bit. Other times I write extensively, as I did in a Zara ad campaign this week, that got caught in the was in Israel/Gaza. 

Being clueless as to how long this horrible distortion problem will go on, I'm looking for some kind of code override -- before I get sued for ruining photographer's images. Squarespace has put me at major legal risk here, to say nothing of the photographers' images looking like crap. 

Thursday night, besides myself with stress and writing to Squarespace CS, the problem shifted from a horizontal issue, where everyone was fat, fat, fat to a vertical one. In this link, all is vertical. 

Getting zero help from Squarespace -- even saying, we can't fix it until Wednesday, Anne -- I will pay a professional to try and override this problem. 

Right now, we are uploading each image individually, so productivity is out the window. Thanks. Anne

UPDATE - I got through to chat (19th Dec 2023) and they fixed it.  Below is the message from them.

"This was a bug on our platform that seemed to have appeared on your site. After going through the steps on the backend that are available to our Support team, it should not happen again.
