Adding an image gallery to your post or page in Wordpress can enhance your content and provide your readers with a more visually appealing experience. WordPress natively supports the creation of galleries without the need for any external plugins. This guide will show you how to easily add an image gallery to your post or page.
Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard
First, you need to log into your WordPress dashboard, which can be done by entering the URL of your website followed by /wp-admin.
Step 2: Create a New Post or Edit an Existing One
In the left menu, select "Posts" and click on "Add New" to create a new post, or choose an existing post that you want to edit.
Step 3: Adding an Image Gallery
-
In the post editor, click where you want to insert the gallery. Then click the "Add Block" button (plus icon), located at the top of the editor or directly in the place where you want to insert the gallery.
-
Search for the 'Gallery' block in the search field or in the 'Media' section and select it.
-
Upload images or select from the library. You can either upload new images by dragging and dropping files into the editor or select previously uploaded images from the media library. After selecting your images, click on "Create a new gallery."
-
Edit the gallery as needed. You can change the order of images, add captions, or adjust the gallery display settings, such as the number of columns or the size of the images. Once you're done editing, click on "Insert gallery."
Step 4: Save and Publish
After inserting the gallery into your post, don't forget to save or publish the post to make the changes appear on your website.
Adding an image gallery to a post or page in WordPress is a straightforward process that can significantly improve the visual aspect of your content. With the help of the built-in block editor, you can easily create attractive galleries that enrich your web pages with visual elements and increase your readers' engagement.
