Wordpress user of gallery function - GoFuckYourself.com

they've removed yet another feature in 3.5.1

to get the old back

let me know if you have trouble.

file to edit: yoursite.com/wp-admin/includes/media.php

find:

Code:

add_action( 'media_buttons', 'media_buttons' );

function get_upload_iframe_src( $type = null, $post_id = null, $tab = null ) {
	global $post_ID;

	if ( empty( $post_id ) )
		$post_id = $post_ID;

	$upload_iframe_src = add_query_arg( 'post_id', (int) $post_id, admin_url('media-upload.php') );

	if ( $type && 'media' != $type )
		$upload_iframe_src = add_query_arg('type', $type, $upload_iframe_src);

	if ( ! empty( $tab ) )
		$upload_iframe_src = add_query_arg('tab', $tab, $upload_iframe_src);

	$upload_iframe_src = apply_filters($type . '_upload_iframe_src', $upload_iframe_src);

	return add_query_arg('TB_iframe', true, $upload_iframe_src);
}

after that add:

Code:

add_action('admin_head', 'remove_media_buttons');
function remove_media_buttons(){
remove_action('media_buttons','media_buttons');
add_action('media_buttons', 'old_media_buttons');
}

function old_media_buttons($editor_id = 'content') {
$context = apply_filters('media_buttons_context', __('Upload/Insert %s'));
$img = '<img src="' . esc_url( admin_url( 'images/media-button.png?ver=20111005' ) ) . '" width="15" height="15" />';
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( get_upload_iframe_src() ) . '" class="thickbox add_media" id="' . esc_attr( $editor_id ) . '-add_media" title="' . esc_attr__( 'Add Media' ) . '" onclick="return false;">' . sprintf( $context, $img ) . '</a>';
}

because when you update your changes will be lost. and you will have to do it all over again.

The Wordpress native gallery feature is not removed from 3.5.1. We use the inline Wordpress gallery function all the time, including in 3.5.1.

You can either upload the pics through the Media area, or click to Add Media on the post screen itself. Select all of the files you want and click the upload button. After the pics are uploaded, simply click on the ones you want and select "insert gallery".

Unless you are talking about it being a different procedure to add a gallery than previous versions, the actually gallery function itself is still there.

Changes like that are usually better done via a custom functions file in the theme itself, so long as there is a hook for it of course.

I seer this sort of thing a lot when people are suing the default twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve themes. They'll edit those themes directly and then upgrade and lose all their edits. Many do not realize they should take advantage of the child theme functionality in wordpress when editing default themes.

For those interested in how to do it, see this Wordpress codex page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I'm not sure I see any real difference. It functions just perfect for us like it always has. If anything, it has increased the speed at which we can add galleries.

The one thing I do dislike, however, is that when selecting to insert the gallery, it defaults to attachment page. You must first select the type to "Link to Attachment" and then specify the Columns, and then re-select "Link to Media". Beyond that, I just do not see any difference.

Are you talking about image editing functionality?

No problem, I was just confused when you said the gallery function was removed, when clearly it is still there.

Carry on.
