 '''ISSUE 1.)'''

 * With WordPress Permalinks set to "Post Name", any photo gallery that has
 been added to a page displays EVERY photo in the media library.

 For example if you've added a gallery of 3 photos, 3 thumbnails are
 displayed on the page, but entering the gallery will allow you to click
 "next" to view every photo that has been uploaded to the WordPress site.

 This has been tested in a fresh install of WordPress (version 4.5.3) and
 with the themes Twenty Thirteen through Twenty Sixteen.

 In this case WordPress Permalink settings have been set to "Post Name". If
 Permalinks are instead set to "Plain" (the default) this does not seem to
 be a problem. I have not tested out other Permalink settings to see if
 they work.

 An internet search brings up two discussions related to this issue which
 do not appear to have been properly resolved:

 library-1?replies=4



 '''ISSUE 2.)'''

 * Single photos added to a page are no longer viewable within a gallery.

 If you've added a single photo (not a gallery) to a page that also
 contains a gallery, and if that single photo is also part of the gallery's
 thumbnail group, it is longer a part of the actually gallery. You can no
 longer view that image by entering the gallery even though it is shown in
 the gallery's thumbnails.

 In this case the single photo is set to "link to attachment page".
 Permalinks are set to "Post Name".



 '''ISSUE 3.)'''

 * Single photos added to a page have incorrect attachment link by default.
 In this case Permalinks are set to "Post Name".

 If you add a single photo to a page and leave the default "link to
 attachment page" set, the link is incorrect; it is missing the page name
 in it's path. If you then go back to edit the page again and look at the
 details of the photo, you can see that it has changed to "link to custom
 URL" but is still showing the same incorrect link. Changing this back
 again to "link to attachment page" corrects the link by adding the page
 name to the path.

 I have not tested this with other Permalink settings.



 '''ISSUE 4.)'''

 There seems to be a problem with galleries not displaying all photos when
 certain other pages are in the "trash".

 For example, after deleting a page titled "try" which contained the image
 "cake", another page would not display "cake" within a photo gallery.

 Clicking on the "cake" thumbnail in the photo galley opened the attachment
 page "try__trashed/cake/" and would not slide to the next photo. Clicking
 on any of the other thumbnails in the gallery would work, but would never
 slide to "cake".
