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 Visual Editor you can create a distance between two paragraphs in your writing to place the cursor as the place where your gallery will be. So it looks like this:
Next click the "Add Media" button located just above the visual editor. This will open a page window to upload a new image.
After the open window is visible in the left sidebar there is a link menu labeled "Create Gallery". Please click "Create Gallery" and upload or select an existing image from your gallery.
Now look at the top, you will see there are two tabs at the top. By default you will be on the upload screen, if you want to create a gallery with new images or photos that you have not uploaded, you can directly upload your images through this section. But if you want to select images or photos from media libraries that you have uploaded earlier, then please click the tab labeled "Media Library".
To select the image you want to make gallery, you just click on the pictures, and if you want to deselect the image you can click again so that the check mark in the upper right corner of the thumbnail is gone.
You can add titles, alt text, and captions to the images in the sidebar. But in this section you do not need to add captions or change these settings. However it is recommended that you at least create a title or alt text because this additional info helps Google when indexing photos for image search or making SEO friendly images.
Now that all your pictures have been selected and customized you can click on the "Create New Gallery" button in the bottom right corner.
This new screen contains thumbnails of the selected gallery image 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 is done, please click the "Insert Gallery" button and the gallery will appear in your editor. And now click the "Publish" or "Update" button and see the gallery you have installed on your article post.
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.
