Treehouse Guest TeacherTry contacting the plugin developers and see what they suggest. I haven't used that plugin before.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 19,022 Pointsl have contact him everywhere, by email, twitter, support page ,wordpress support page. He just hasnt taken any notice at all. Any other plugin you would suggest. l just want to create a responsive image gallery with 4 or 5 thumbnails.

Treehouse Guest TeacherYeah, that's probably a sign you don't want to be depending on that plugin. Can you just use the native photo gallery and make it responsive on your own? It looks like there are a lot of plugins that do this as well.

Courses Plus Student 1,007 PointsHi Kelvin :)
I am not specifically familiar with that carousel - however, I am familiar with changing content on my site, and my changes not being reflected live. It sounds like you could have a caching issue.
One thing to try - after saving your work (I'm going to guess that if you are capable of dragging and dropping your images to change their order in the back-end, then that is what you're meant to do) to delete the WP Cache.
This can be done by installing a plugin to cache WP, and like most plugins, each will work a bit differently. For my website using Customizr theme, I use a plugin called WP-cache.com. After you install and activate, it appears in your left-hand admin bar. You can click it anytime you make a change to your site, and it will take you to an options area. I click "on" to "cache frontend" and "new post or page" (so I don't have to press it every time I make a post). I then clicked the green "save changes" button underneath. The part you'll use the most is under that box (there are only two!) it says "clear all cache now". Press the green button under there that says "clear all cache".
Hope this works for you! If not, it's a good plugin to use, anyhow. :)
