create a gallery Photo in WordPress
CMS WordPress have a lot of great features, sophisticated and perfect for users, and WordPress will always and always developed and will present the new features again the future.
One of the advantages of WordPress is the presence of beautiful gallery features and easy to use. This feature you can use directly from the upload media on every post or page.
The first step to create a photo gallery on WordPress is to create or edit a post or page where the photo gallery wants you to be placed.
It would be good to write the content before adding the photo gallery. This way you will know exactly where the image will appear in relation to the content as in the example image above.
so in the visual editor you can make the distance between two paragraphs in your writing to put the cursor as a place your gallery later. so it looks like this:
then click the "add media" which is located just above the visual editor. this will open window page to upload new image.
after the window open look at the left sidebar there menu link labeled "create gallery". please click the "create gallery" and upload or select an existing image of your gallery.
now see on the top, you will see there are two tab at the top. by default you will be on the screen upload, if you want to make gallery with image or a new Photo that you have not yet uploaded, you can directly upload your images by this section. but if you want to choose the image or Photo of the media library you have uploaded before, then please click the tab labeled "media library".
Or
to select the image you want to make gallery, you only live click on images, and if you want to deselect the image you can click reset so check Mark in the upper right corner thumbnail lost.
Or
you can add the title, Alt text, and information on images on the sidebar. but in this section you don't need to add description or change the settings. However recommended to you at least make title or Alt text for additional info it helps current Google index the Photo to image search or make a picture SEO friendly.
now that all of your image has been selected and adjusted you can click the button "create new gallery" in the lower right corner.
Or
This new screen contains thumbnails of selected gallery images and there is an option to add captions to each photo. And if you want to delete a photo from the gallery just click on the small X icon in the corner of the image.
If you want to rearrange the photo order, you can do so by clicking & dragging the image in the section you want. Before completing your gallery, look at the settings in the right sidebar. Most people want to link directly to a photo so it is a good idea to change "Link To" on "Attachment Page"
Then you can choose how many gallery columns you want to use along with thumbnail size and thumbnail type. One type of style featured is a slideshow that behaves slightly differently than a regular gallery. But you can always go back to edit this option if you want to change the way your gallery is displayed.
if all done, please click the "insert gallery" and gallery will appear in your editor. now click the "publish" or "update" and view gallery you already installed on posting your articles.
All gallery images are displayed in thumbnail image as above, if you click on the thumbnail of the image it will display the full size of the photo in the gallery slide. WordPress has built-in features by default so this works fine on every theme.
