WordPress Jetpack tiled gallery not working?

I’ve just started making a new website (will advise of URL once it’s ready enough) and have discovered the Jetpack WordPress plugin. It is AMAZING. It does pretty much everything you could ever want and more.

Ok, not quite, but it adds a LOT of functionality (which it previously didn’t) – I’ve known about it since my first ‘proper’ WordPress website I created in about 2009 – but it didn’t really add much back then, and I disabled it immediately, thinking it was pretty much useless.

So anyway, I took another look at it the other day and am loving it.

…Except for the ’tiled gallery’ function, which didn’t seem to do anything. The default gallery stubbornly remained, even when I cleared my cache, used different browsers, and tried using the shortcode.

However, I found a forum in which someone had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a theme issue. The theme being used was overriding the default gallery functionality, and Jetpack did nothing to re-override the theme’s gallery display.
One poster suggested checking the ‘functions.php’ file in the theme to find anything relating to displaying the gallery.

I searched my theme’s functions.php file and found the following:

/**
* Custom gallery using Bootstrap layout.
*
* @since nuThemes 1.0
*/
require NUTHEMES_PATH . ‘/inc/wp-bootstrap-gallery.php';

I commented out that last line, and whaddayaknow – jetpack tiled galleries are now working!

Thanks very much to the guy who suggested that.
