WordPress offers some pretty cool ways of managing and displaying photographs but I haven’t had much time to delve into the existing gallery features that are built into the system. I finally got around to doing just that over the last couple of days. I also added a 3rd party set of gallery functions which further extend the functionality of the built in galleries. The results are pretty impressive!
I’ve put together a Test Gallery just to see how it looks, and I’ve inserted one of the pictures from that gallery in this post:
Let me know how you like them. I doubt I’ll get around to converting all the old 2012 Photo Albums the WordPress Galleries but I think from here on I’ll be using them. Eventually I’ll have it set up so users of the site can upload their pictures too. All in due time.
More impressed with this Photo Gallery system as I get to understand it. Very powerful set of functions, but somewhat poorly documented. Programmers shouldn’t write documentation 🙂
Subscribers to the site will soon be able to upload picture with descriptions. They’ll initially be sequestered until I get a chance to check them out. You can test this feature if you want on the Test Gallery page.
Well one intrepid subscriber took the challenge and uploaded a picture! It now appears in the Public Uploads Gallery.
