How Do I Create a Photo Gallery in WordPress?

Creating a photo gallery in WordPress is a relatively simple process. First, you’ll need to create a new file called gallery.php and add the following code to it:

set_title(‘My Gallery’); // Set the title of the gallery $gallery->set_description(‘A gallery of my photos’); // Set the description of the gallery $gallery->set_image_urls(array( ‘primary’ => ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo.jpg’, ‘secondary’ => ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2nd-photo.jpg’ )); // Set the image URLs for the gallery $gallery->set_image_size(300, 200); // Set the image size for the gallery $gallery->set_image_ratio(1.5); // Set the image ratio for the gallery $gallery->set_image_cropping(5,5); // Set the image cropping for the gallery $gallery->set_image_transform( ‘scale(1.5)’); // Set the image transform for the gallery // Add items to the gallery $gallery->add_image( ‘primary’, ‘http://example.jpg’, ‘width’ => 100, ‘height’ => 100 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘secondary’, ‘http://example.jpg’, ‘width’ => 50, ‘height’ => 50 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘primary’, ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-cropped.jpg’, ‘width’ => 50, ‘height’ => 50 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘secondary’, ‘http://example.

com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2nd-photo-cropped.jpg’, ‘width’ => 25, ‘height’ => 25 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘primary’, ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-with-transformation.jpg’, ‘width’ => 180, ‘height’ => 180 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘primary’, ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-with-transform.jpg’, ‘width’ => 270, ‘height’ => 270 ); $gallery->add_image( ‘primary’, ‘http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-cropped2.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-cropped3.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-with-transformation-cropped.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/my-photo-with-transform-cropped.jpg’, ‘width’ => 270, ‘height’ => 270 ); // Display the gallery $gallery->display(); // Display the gallery.

In this file, you’ll first need to require the WP_Gallery class. Next, you’ll create an object called $gallery that will hold all of the information about the gallery.

You’ll set the title, description, image URLs, image size, image ratio, image cropping, image transforming, and image displaying properties of the gallery.

You’ll then add items to the gallery by calling the add_image() function and passing in the name of the image file, the URL of the image file, the width and height of the image, and the ratio of the image’s width to its height. You can also pass in a cropping parameter to specify the dimensions of the image that will be used for cropping.

Finally, you’ll call the display() function to show the gallery.
