Hey Julie,

What does your “bernie” class CSS look like?

You will notice that we registered $stacked_styles = 'background-size:cover;background-position:center center';
(see https://github.com/bearded-avenger/aesop-core/blob/master/public/includes/components/component-gallery.php#L236), for the stacked gallery, so every stacked gallery is a cover image that is center center. My guess is that the filter is not overriding this because it will require a little more logic.

See more on the gallery custom post type here to create an option for center top if you just want that on specific stacked galleries: https://github.com/bearded-avenger/aesop-core/blob/master/admin/includes/components/component-gallery.php.

Here’s what our styles look like for the stacked parallax: https://github.com/bearded-avenger/aesop-core/blob/master/public/assets/less/components/gallery.less.
