How do I add gallery photos?

Adding an image gallery to any page allows your users to view a set of images. This feature also allows users to click on any of the photos to view and scroll through larger versions of each photo. To add gallery photos to a page, hover your mouse over the "Pages" button on the left-hand sidebar menu of your website's administration area. If you want to create a new webpage with gallery photos click on the "Add new" button in the drop down menu. If you simply want to add gallery photos to an existing webpage, click on "Pages" and choose the specific page.

Once you have opened either a new page or an existing page click the "Add Media" button located directly underneath the page's title bar.

Add a New Page


This will bring you to the media pop-up page. Click the "Create Gallery" button on the left-hand menu bar. From here you can add photos from your hard drive either by dragging them directly into the white box or by clicking the "Select Files" button and selecting the photos you wish to use.

Create a Gallery


Once you have uploaded all the photos you wish to include in the gallery you can edit the title, description, and caption of each photo in the "Attachment Details" box to the right of the photos. Click "Create a new gallery" at the bottom of the page once you are done editing the photos.

Attachment Details

A screen will appear where you can edit the positioning of the photos. You can also choose how you want the photos to be displayed in the "Gallery Settings" box. Once you are satisfied with the settings of your gallery click "Insert gallery."
