Hey, my app so far is where users can post a listing of what they want to sell, which therefore means I have a ‘post’ data type and within that I have a ‘list of images’ where users can upload what they are selling. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the pop up, it shows that specific ‘posts’ of images. I’ve gotten so close but cannot seem to get it to 100% work. At the moment I am using the multi-file uploader plugin, and for some reason the pop up will only display the image if the image count is 1. I have a link to my project if needed. Any help would be great.
Thanks alot!
What type of element are you using to display the images in your popup? The Bubble-native way to display more than one of a Thing is the Repeating Group element.
Yeah I’m using a repeating group.
What’s the type of content and data source that you’ve set of the repeating group?
Type of content: image
Data source: Parent groups post’s image
Assuming “Parent groups post’s image“ is a list, have you confirmed that multiple images are actually in the database for that post?
Also, how many rows/columns is the RG configured to display?
It might help to post screenshots and/or provide view access to the editor.

Yeah, its weird because if its only 1 image and not multiple images in the post, the repeating groups shows the image, however if its multiple images it shows a blank repeating group.
@krazitoast it seems the images you uploaded (for the product which you’re having a problem with) have been combined into one image, therefore one URL. That’s what I see when checking your data for the product:
Here is the picture’s URL when you click on the ‘See’ button: https://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1598094134815x450428253632900100/bass2.jpg,%20//s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1598094135309x794872257488298000/bass1.jpg
However obviously it should be:
1st picture: https://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1598094134815x450428253632900100/bass2.jpg
and 2nd picture: https://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1598094135309x794872257488298000/bass1.jpg
There must be an issue when you (or the User) uploads the pictures for the new listing. So I digged a little deeper and found that whenever you create a Post, you’re adding the Multi-file Uploader to the list of Images on the Post, instead of setting the list to the Multi-file Uploader’s value:
That’s why it’s just adding one image. When there are two images in the Uploader’s value, it combines them together, therefore causing your issue.
Just change Image add to Image set list and you should be good to go
Hope that helps

Looks like @ambroisedlg identified the issue for you. 
Technically, what was happening behind the scenes is that Bubble was auto-converting the list of images into a comma-delimited list of URLs and using the resulting string as the URL for a single image. Obviously, it is an invalid URL, so no image appears.
Since you’re dealing with lots of images in your app… If you haven’t already, you might want to devote some thought as to how best to manage the uploaded image files. If your app gains traction, you could potentially chew through your [pricey] Bubble storage rather quickly - especially if users upload lots of “hi-res” multi-megabyte images from their mobile devices.
It’s important to realize that simply deleting a post, will not automatically delete the files associated with that post from your Bubble storage. You must explicitly delete the files in order to reclaim that storage capacity and prevent “orphaned” files. This is also a consideration if you’re allowing users to edit existing posts - i.e. add/remove pictures. This thread might be helpful.
Additionally, automatically downsizing images before they’re uploaded can dramatically cut down on storage requirements. That’s exactly what Upload Buddy does.
