Add a new entry to the photo gallery

Adding a new entry to the photo gallery is actually no different to creating a post using category (yes, you guessed it) Photo Gallery!

So having logged in and added your media to the media library, from the home screen click on “Post” on the left menu. If you have logged in on a mobile device you may need to click on the three horizontal lines top left of the screen to expose the menu.

Then click on “Add a New Post” on the left menu or the same within Posts itself

You then arrive at the part where you can add the title of your Photo Gallery entry followed by the images you previously uploaded into the Media Library where the latter will appear in the body of the post

As with all posts, the most important thing is ensuring the post has the right category. Scroll down until you see “Categories” on the right hand side (or near the bottom on a mobile device) then click the Photo Gallery tick box. You can post using multiple categories but in this case make sure no other categories are ticked.

Not mandatory but definitely a nice to have is the “Featured Image”. This appears with the title in the top level of the Photo Gallery. Again, scroll down until you see “Featured Image” on the right hand side (or near the bottom on a mobile device) then select the image from those you previously uploaded to the Media Library to be your featured image

When you are happy you have added all the images to your new post you can preview it, then when happy with the look and feel, click on “publish”!

Don’t panic if you publish then realise you’ve made a mistake. Simply go back to the home screen, click on “Post” where you’ll find you can edit your just published post.
