I thought this would be simple! I want to create individual libraries for photos that relate to each other. Currently, the default in WordPress is that all images are grouped together.
This may involve Plug-ins according to this website: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-multiple-galleries-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages/
My son’s nap time is over…so I’ll have to explore this another time!
Update – another day, another nap time. I’m back trying to do this now, using the advice from this website: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-create-an-image-gallery-in-wordpress/
However, I’m not having much luck! I’ve created a gallery, created a post and published it…but I can’t see it when I view my website…hmmm. Next step, just going to check if I’ve added the right Categories to my post. That did it. I created a Gallery Category and added that to the Menu. Then I assigned the gallery post to the new Gallery category.
Still a few problems though. It doesn’t look as great as I hoped! Also, some of the images are not aligned correctly. There doesn’t seem to be any image rotate facility and it’s quite obvious when a flower is facing the wrong way. My other plan was to add a watermark/copyright to the images. This is going to require more investigation.
Update – so, in the Dashboard, there’s a Media option. That brought up the image library. If you click on the image that isn’t orientated correctly, you can edit the picture, rotate it and save it. Let’s see if that’s done the trick in the gallery images. Yay! Seems to work on the desktop. Premature “yay” there…whilst the images look the right way round in the gallery, when you click on them and view them in the light box, some of them are still wrongly orientated. You’d think this would be simple. Grrrrr.
