Hi guys I’m shyam from website learners.com
today I'm going to show you how you can
add an image gallery to your WordPress website
so first let's see how it's going to look so here it is now after watching
this video you'll be able to create a gallery like this and when your visitors click here
they'll be able to see all of your images
so let's get started
we are going to create our image gallery in just two steps
the first step is to create your image gallery
so to create it let's go to our WordPress dashboard
now to create the image gallery
we are going to add a new page
so to add a new page
let's go to new
and then click page
now I'm going to call this as gallery
now to add the image gallery to this page
just go here and then click the plus symbol
now search for gallery
and selected it
and now you'll get this gallery section on your page
now to add your images
just drag the images from your computer
and then drop it here
and once you have added the images
just click publish
and now if we click view page
you can see that we have successfully added the image gallery
now if we click on this image
you can see that we can't view this image in a bigger size
so to view all of these images in a larger size
you need to change the gallery settings in WordPress
so to change the settings
just go back to the Edit Page
and then click any image here
now to view these images in a bigger size
let's click here
and then select Media file
so once you have changed this setting
just click update
and then click view page
now if we click any image on this gallery
you can see that we can now view the image in a bigger size
so now you know how you can add an image gallery
to your WordPress website
now if you want to view the next image on your gallery
you need to go back
and then click the next image
which is quite difficult
so if you want to move to the next image directly from here
you can do that by adding a feature called light box
so once you add this feature to your gallery
you will get these arrows on both sides
which will let you view the next image
and the previous image
so next let's go to part 2 of this tutorial
where we see how you can add the lightbox feature to your gallery
so to add the lightbox feature to your images
you need to install a new plugin in WordPress
so to install the plug-in let's go back to our WordPress dashboard
and then go to plugins
and click add new
now search for a plug-in called WP Featherlite
and once you get this plug-in
just click install
and then click activate
so now the plug-in is installed
and this means lightbox feature is now added to our website
so to check it let's go back to our gallery page
and then click refresh
and now if we click on any image here
you can see that we have these arrows on both sides
now if we click here
you can see that we can now see the next image
so now you know how you can add the lightbox feature to your gallery
so next let's say you have a page which is built using Elementor
now what if you want to add the image gallery
to a page like this
so let's go to the final part of the tutorial
where we see how you can add the image gallery to an elementor page
so to add the image gallery to an element or page
first go to the page where you want to add the gallery
and then click Edit with Elementor
now go to the place where you want to add the gallery
so let's say you want to add the gallery here
just click the plus icon
and then drag and drop this element here
now to add images to your gallery just click add images
and then drag and drop the images from your computer
so once you have added images
just click create new gallery
and then click insert gallery
and now we can see that the images have been added
now if you want to change the size of the images
just click here
and then select the size you want
and it'll be changed here
now if you already have the lightbox plugin installed
you can turn off elementors lightbox by clicking here
and then selecting no
so once your made the changes
just click update
and now if we click view page
and then scroll down
you can see that we have successfully added an image gallery
to our Elementor page
now if we click on this image
you can see that we also have
the light box on this gallery
so that's it guys this is how you can add an image
gallery to your WordPress website
