Adding more images

Hello i am having trouble adding more than 1 product image.

I have checked (somewhere i cant find it again ha ha) that the settings are activated and it states the figure 1.

I have also tried renaming the second image but all that it does is replace the first image with the second.

Can anyone help in simple terms please as i am not a computer wizard :no:

thank you

And in your admin, configuration-images- you can define how many additional images to display.

Tried renaming like you suggested and once more all it does is replace the current image with the new renamed one!

Are you renaming the image in configuration/catalog? If so that is your reason, you simply name your images as above then upload to you image folder, nothing else.
Do you have a link to a page with a product with additional images?

Are you using one of the image handler add-ons or are you just doing it the default way?
The naming convention picandnix gave you is correct. If you're doing it the default way:
To upload second/third pics you do it manually via ftp - you DON'T go back to the edit-product page and play around there.
If you are already ftping the second/third images, and are using the naming convention that picandnix gave you - then give us a link to look at please because maybe you're uploading them to the wrong folder.

I am uploading the second image the same way as i am the first in cresting a product section (with the description and price etc)
I have never done this before so i am not familiar "ftping"

If I understand correctly then you are simply swapping one image for the next hence you are basically going around in circles. Name your images as I suggest above and upload them into your image folder either via ftp or via cpanel (assuming you have a host that uses cpanel). Then in your product description use 'my-image.jpg' as the primary product image, then provided you have named the additional images as stated then it'll work fine. Can we have a link to your product page to make sure you are doing it right.

Is this what you require https://www.value-plus.co.uk

Did you get to the bottom of this problem? I need a link to an item that you wish to show more than one image for. But I still suspect you are simply over writing your main image name each time in admin-category-products...
