Organize your photos in folders, select a path and display these photos with any gallery shortcode.

Howto

  • Organize your photos in directories. Store the photos for each album in a subdirectory in the WordPress upload directory. You can use a plugin to do this.
  • Import these photos to the Media Library. Maybe your plugin has this function too.
  • I use Bulk Media Register to import the photos to the Media Library, which I uploaded before with sftp.
  • Use the default `gallery` shortcode or install a plugin to display photos from Media Library, which has a shortcode for this, for example Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others.
  • Configure the name of this shortcode (default `gallery`) and the list option (default `ids`) in admin backend.
  • Write your shortcode as usual, omit the list option and use an extra option `path`.
  • `path` is a substring of the directory path, for example `holidays25/day1`.
