How to Add an Image Gallery in WordPress
hi guys I'm Sean from of sideburns calm
today I'm going to show you how you can
add an image gallery to your WordPress
website
so first let's see how it's going to
look so here it is now after watching
this video you'll be able to create a
gallery like this and when your visitors
click here they'll be able to see all of
your images so let's get started we are
going to create our image gallery in
just two steps the first step is to
create your image gallery so to create
it let's go to our WordPress dashboard
now to create the image gallery we are
going to add a new page so to add a new
page let's go to new and then click page
now I'm going to call this
as gallery now to add the image gallery
to this page just go here and then click
the plus symbol now search for gallery
and selected and now you'll get this
gallery section on your page now to add
your images just drag the images from
your computer and then drop it here and
once you have added the images just
click publish and now if we click view
page you can see that we have
successfully added the image gallery now
if we click on this image you can see
that we can't view this image in a
bigger size so to view all of these
images in a larger size you need to
change the gallery settings in WordPress
so to change the settings just go back
to the Edit Page and then click any
image here now to view these images in a
bigger size let's click here and then
select
Media file so once you have changed this
setting just click update and then click
view page now if we click any image on
this gallery you can see that we can now
view the image in a bigger size so now
you know how you can add an image
gallery to your WordPress website now if
you want to view the next image on your
gallery you need to go back and then
click the next image which is quite
difficult so if you want to move to the
next image directly from here you can do
that by adding a feature called
lightbox so once you add this feature to
your gallery you will get these arrows
on both sides which will let you view
the next image and the previous image so
next let's go to part 2 of this tutorial
where we see how you can add the
lightbox feature to your gallery so to
add the lightbox feature to your images
you need to install a new plugin in
WordPress so to install the plug-in
let's go back to our WordPress dashboard
and then go to plugins and click add new
now search for a plug-in called WP
Featherlite and once you get this
plug-in just click install and then
click activate so now the plug-in is
installed
the lightbox feature is now added to our
website so to check it let's go back to
our gallery page and then click refresh
and now if we click on any image here
you can see that we have these arrows on
both sides now if we click here you can
see that we can now see the next image
so now you know how you can add the
lightbox feature to your gallery so next
let's say you have a page which is built
using Elementor now what if you want to
add the image gallery to a page like
this so let's go to the final part of
the tutorial where we see how you can
add the image gallery to an element or
page so to add the image gallery to an
element or page first go to the page
where you want to add the gallery and
then click Edit with Elementor now go to
the place where you want to add the
gallery so let's say you want to add the
gallery here just click the plus icon
and then drag and drop this element here
now to add images to your gallery just
click add images and then drag and drop
the images from your computer so once
you have added images just click create
new gallery and then click insert
gallery
and now we can see that the images have
been added now if you want to change the
size of the images just click here and
then select the size you want and it'll
be changed here now if you already have
the lightbox plugin installed you can
turn off elementors lightbox by clicking
here and then selecting no so once your
major changes just click update and now
if we click view page and then scroll
down you can see that we have
successfully added an image gallery to
our Elementor page now if we click on
this image you can see that we also have
the light box on this gallery so that's
it guys this is how you can add an image
