Album of photos from a folder in the Media Library

Popis

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.
