To add images in a grid or column instead of one picture at a time we use Image Gallery. If you want to display multiple images to your website, then Image Gallery is the best option.
You can also add Image and Border Image with CSS and HTML to make your image gallery look more attractive and beautiful. Using, HTML & CSS requires you to have a technical knowledge of HTML and CSS.
In this article, we will NOT be using HTML & CSS to create an image gallery, rather we will show you how you can easily create Image Gallery in WordPress.
Steps Required
From Dashboard go to Pages then either Create New Page or select the page where you want to create an image gallery and click on Edit Page.
And select Add Media to add images.
Now, click on Create Gallery and select required number of images from media library or upload files from your computer.
Once you upload an image, you can select a number of columns required for an image gallery.
(For example, if we upload 9 images and set the column to 3 then, image gallery will appear in 3 column and 3 rows.)
After setting the column, click on Insert Gallery to add image gallery in WordPress Page.
An Image gallery is created and this is how it looks.
