How to create a gallery page in WordPress

Hi Aigars,
You make a beautiful Theme. Congratulations!
I can see in your Home page you redirect Post Format Test: Gallery to a gallery page/post

I’m trying to do the same (http://web.cruzjurado.com/javierremon) from other page (Photos), and not from my posts. Is that possible?

I already created two posts (maybe that’s not the way):
Post Format Test Gallery: East Africa Gallery
East Africa Gallery (I’m using the same JetPack plugin)

Thank you!

There is no need to call your Post/Page exactly like in the theme demo. It will work with any title you just need a proper setup for that.

For gallery itself I am using WordPress built in Gallery feature that displays those tiny image thumbnails and Jetpack is used to view them when you click on those tiny images.

I just found a great tutorial you can follow to setup your gallery: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-create-an-image-gallery-in-wordpress/
If you are having some problems, please let me know and I will try to assist you further.

Ok, now I see that is is working properly.

Just delete your Post and create your gallery inside Page. There shouldn’t be issues with that since WordPress gallery works for both Posts and Pages.

Let me know if that was what you were looking for.

Hi Aigars, thank you for your patience.
I will try to explain what I’m looking for in more detail

When I’m in the “Home” of your web, I need to click on the post “Post Format Test: Gallery” to go to the gallery. I want exactly the same but not in “Home” but in other page (“Photos”)

-How did you connect that “Post Format Test: Gallery” with the gallery?. Is the same post? Because I can see text in that post, and there is no text in the gallery…

What I’m trying to do is to have 4 different posts like “Post Format Test: Gallery” in my page “Photos”, each one leading me to a different gallery. Can I do that?

Thank you so much for your support.

One last thing. Can I have the slider only in the “Home” page, and Not in the “blog” page?

Still a bit confused but I guess we are a bit closer than we were before. :slight_smile:

  1. You can use category pages like I have in the theme demo for your Photos page. https://colorlib.com/travelify/category/new-work/
    You can see that this page is added in Menu and there are numerous posts and each of these Posts can be created as galleries.
    Unfortunately these Posts will be visible in Blog page as well unless you do custom code implementations to hide them. Probably there are some plugins for that but I am not sure about that.

  2. This is common appearance. To setup blog page don’t use WordPress built in blog feature that you have selected via Settings – Reading – “Posts page” but use theme built in blog templates instead. Leave previously mentioned option blank.

Afterwards edit your blog page and choose proper blog template via “Page Attributes” on the right side of Page edit screen. Now save changes and you will see that slider will work only on front page.
