“Photo Albums” allow to gather images and videos. Read on how to fill-in “video URL” field here – fig. 2.
To create an album, navigate to “WP-admin > Photo Albums > Add new Album”. Album editing interface is similar to Portfolio Project. Apart from, header options and widgetized areas, Albums adding/editing interface has 2 auxiliary boxes called “Add/Edit Media” (fig. 1) and “Album Options” (fig. 2).
Fig. 1. Add/Edit Media.
Add/Edit Media box is 100% identical to “Add/Edit slides” box in slideshows (please refer to this article for details).
Fig. 2. Album options.
Album Options. Here you can:
- select an album page for the “Back button” (more info is available here);
- choose how your album will be opened from albums list: in a lightbox or on a separate album page;
- select a layout for displaying images: slideshow, gallery, list, photo scroller, masonry or grid;
- decide if you want to exclude featured image from the album (i.e. use that photo only as an album cover);
- decide if you want to display text content.
Depending on a chosen layout, you get a set of options for configuring this layout. For example, Slideshow (fig. 3) or Gallery (fig. 4).
Slideshow
Fig. 3. Display media as a slideshow.
The only specific option in this case (fig. 3) is slider proportions.
Gallery
Fig. 4. Display media as a gallery.
“Show media as: Gallery” allows you to display the media in form of fancy metro-style gallery. You can choose desired number of columns and make first image x2 large.
List
Fig. 5. Display media as a list.
Show media as: List (fig. 5). Choosing this option will display your images as boring list of images; there’s even no additional option here ?
Photo Scroller
Fig. 6. Display media as PhotoScroller.
Show media as: Photo Scroller. Basically this is the same Photo Scroller as you see in the “Page Header Options > Photo Scroller“. You have same set of options here:
- layout: fullscreen slideshow (will hide text area) or fullscreen slideshow + text area;
- background behind the slider;
- show/hide pixel overlay.
- padding;
- inactive slides opacity;
- thumbnail stripe. You can hide/show it by default or disable it altogether;
- thumbnails width and height;
- specify slider default state: playing or paused;
- autoplay speed (interval);
- 2 blocks of settings for landscape and portrait images: min and max width, filling mode (fit or fill) for desktops and mobile devices.
Masonry & Grid
Fig. 7. Display media as Masonry layout.
Basically, this is the same layout as you see in the “Blog Masonry & Grid” element. You have almost the same set of options here:
- choose Masonry or Grid layout;
- specify how many images to display per page;
- specify the gap between images and column minimum width;
- set desired columns number;
- make this gallery 100% browser wide;
- decide whether to resize images or not;
- select loading animation effect.
Justified Grid
Fig. 8. Display media as Justified Grid layout.
This layout looks like “Portfolio Justified Grid” element. The only specific settings it has are:
- gap between images;
- row target height;
- make this gallery 100% browser wide;
- hide last row if there’s not enough images to fill it;
- decide whether to resize images or not;
- select loading animation effect.
