How to Create an Image Gallery in WordPress

Do you have a large number of pictures you are looking to add to your site but it is not displaying how you want? Most people want to have their images grouped in columns and rows with the ability to upload multiple images at once. In this video we will show you how to create an image gallery in WordPress to make your photos look even better.

For the first method we will use the built in WordPress gallery system. Start by editing the post or page that you want to create your image gallery on. Click the 'Add Media' button to upload the images you want to add, click the select files button to begin the upload process for your images.

You can either click and drag the images or using the control or shift keys to select multiple images at once. With the images uploaded and automatically selected with your upload, you will want to click the create gallery link on the left hand side. This will allow you to customize your image gallery to a small extent and once it is ready you can insert it on to the page.

The second method we will use is a plugin called Envira Gallery, if you do not know how to install a plugin you would want to take a look at our guide:
