## FAQ

    generate some kind of css conflict.
 3. If plugin does not display corret after update please clear your cache

  How to choose when to use polaroid gallery and when default wordpress gallery?

If you want to use default wordpress gallery in some places it is easy. Add to the
gallery shortcode on the page attribute `usedefault="true"`. It should looks like`[
gallery ids="1466,1464,1465" usedefault="true"]`

This plugin is not compatible with WordPress 5.5 and jQuery 1.12.4. Advise is to
look for a different plugin.
