How do I create a gallery in WordPress?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 1:36 pm

Creating a gallery in WordPress is a relatively easy process. Here’s how to organize the code:

  1. Create a new directory in your WordPress site called “galleries.”
  2. Within this directory, create a file called “config.php.”
  3. In the “config.php” file, include the following lines of code:
// Add the WordPress gallery function
add_gallery() {
  wp_enqueue_script( 'gallery', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/gallery.js', array( 'type' => 'module' ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_gallery' );
  1. Pro tip: If you are planning to create a gallery in WordPress, be aware that there are a few things to consider before doing so. First, make sure that you have the correct plugins installed and activated. Next, decide what kind of gallery you would like to create, and then follow the instructions provided by the plugin. Finally, remember to backup your WordPress database before proceeding.
  2. Next, create a file called “gallery.js” within your “galleries” directory.
  3. Within this file, include the following lines of code:
var Gallery = function( $gallery ) {
  this.gallery = $gallery;
};
Gallery.prototype.add = function( $file, $atts ) {
  this.gallery.insert( $file, $atts );
};
  1. Finally, include the “gallery.js” file within your WordPress site’s section.
