Gallery out of order, is roll back an option?

Hi there,

My client ordered her gallery the way she wanted, then entered a ton of descriptions into individual gallery images and then she told me everything disappeared. I went in, and there was nothing in there, and also captions was now toggled off (it had been toggled on previously.) When I toggled it back on, captions came back, but then we noticed all the images were now out of order (masonry grid). My client is super upset about the order 😬 

I'm wondering if there is a way for me to see a previous version of that page so I can at least reorder them the way she originally had them?

I may opt out of a gallery all together to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Sadly no, there's no roll-back. If the website is live and has been for a while, then Wayback Machine might have a grab of the website prior to changes for reference.

The masonry grid does not maintain the order as it arranges the image to fill the space, and enabling captions can also change this.

The masonry grid doesn't maintain the gallery image order because its primary goal is to fit images together in a way that optimizes space, rather than preserving a specific sequence.

This layout arranges images based on their height and available space, which can result in the images appearing out of order.

You can try switching to Grid:simple instead?

Hi, it turns out my client went in and duplicated a bunch of sections with 0 captions that were in the wrong order. It looked like it was an infinite scroll, but, in fact, it was MANY dupes and the correct section with captions and correct order was all the way at the bottom! Ha. It even stayed put in Masonry.

Thanks for the feedback.
