Making Galleries in WordPress

Posted in CMS and Wordpress 3 years, 8 months ago at 7:48 pm

WordPress is a wonderful tool. The image uploading functions are quite confusing, however. Here’s a quick tutorial for making galleries.

1. Login to your WordPress account and get to your blog’s Dashboard.
2. Click the Write->Post or Write->Page menus.
   • On the toolbar, click Add Media.
     
   • The Add Media screen will allow you to select several items in a folder to upload at one time. When you add the images, it creates a gallery.
     
     • If you were to select one file, it will not create a gallery!
     • Once you’ve uploaded each file, click it in the proceeding list of items in the gallery to view the specification fields.
       • Enter the copyright, description, and other details for each item.
       • If you change the file name to something like the title of the image, then it’ll become a caption below the thumbnail in the gallery.
3. To add the gallery, click the Write->Post (or Page)-> Add Media->Gallery tab.
4. Click Insert into Post (or Page).
   • A

     tag will be added. Move it to the location in the text where you want it to appear (usually the bottom; below your text).
