I think you said that the photos would respect the album number setting but mine is stuck on 8 photos. I have the albums set much higher.
Hello @whatonearth: As I remember Donna mentioned that photos will respect the display as of Albums.
For the count of photos, it is a new feature request.
Thread moved from Unite to SEPHP section. It my tests, it does respect the album setting. Please clear cache and check the theme again.
