Add Galleries: Photocrati Gallery
By default, WordPress does not come with a robust gallery management system, so we’ve designed a built-in gallery management system called Photocrati Gallery. Here are the important points you need to know:
- To add a gallery to your menu, click PAGES > ADD NEW. Then click NEW PHOTOCRATI GALLERY. Add your gallery and save.
- To add a gallery to any blog post, click POSTS > ADD NEW. Then click NEW PHOTOCRATI GALLERY. Add your gallery and save.
- To edit a gallery, go to the page or post and click the EDIT GALLERY button.
- To adjust gallery settings, DON’T go to the specific gallery. All settings are global. Click THEME OPTIONS > GALLERY SETTINGS.
- Similarly, to adjust ecommerce setttings, click THEME OPTIONS> ECOMMERCE SETTINGS.
Add Individual Images: WordPress
To upload individual images rather than galleries, we recommend that you use WordPress rather than Photocrati Gallery. WordPress is excellent for working with individual images, allowing you to align, customize, add captions, etc. Please see How to Insert a Photo into a Post or Page?
Once an individual image is added to a post or page, you can also customize the image settings by clicking on the image, and then clicking on the small photo icon that appears above it.
NextGen Galleries?
The most popular 3rd party gallery management plugin for WordPress is NextGen gallery. If you would prefer to use NextGen (vs Photocrati Galleries) for your gallery management, our themes ARE COMPATIBLE with NextGen. However, we no long specifically support questions on NextGen.
For the time being, we’ve kept our FAQs for NextGen available. To see them, click the “Third Party Plugins” tab on the left. However, for specific support questions or problems, you should go to the NextGen Support Forums
