I think that one of the most underutilized features of WordPress is the image gallery.\u00a0 It was added recently and all the proper announcements were made, but I still see too many WordPress based sites working too hard to display a bunch of images in post or page.\u00a0 If you never made an image gallery in WordPress, I suggest you try it.\u00a0 Maybe you are spending too much time solving your problem using something else.<\/p>\n

Trying out the gallery is very easy.\u00a0 Just attach more than one image to the post, without actually inserting those images to the post, and you’ll see a gallery tab in your media popup.\u00a0 It will look something like that:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0 manage the images in the gallery, their order, sorting direction, the size of the thumbnails, number of columns in the gallery, cropping options, and more.\u00a0 It’s a very balanced compromise between flexibility (make it look the way you want) and ease of use (no coding required – all in mouse clicks).<\/p>\n

More so, you can use some shortcuts in your blog posts and pages to control the appearance of the gallery.\u00a0 There is a Codex manual<\/a> which documents all options and provides examples of use.\u00a0 Awesome, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
