What\u2019s the difference between Albums (\u201cPhoto\/Video Albums\u201d or just \u201cAlbums\u201d) and<\/strong>\u00a0Galleries (or just \u201cPhotos\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>in some themes).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a bit old-fashioned, in a physical world, your photos are still contained in the photo-albums. Same happens in the theme: each Album contains a set of media files: photos and videos.<\/p>\n

You can display media files in 2 modes:<\/p>\n

1. Albums<\/strong> \u2013 in this mode, you can see a set of Albums (fig. 1.1).<\/p>\n

\"Fig.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fig. 1.1. Albums page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Click on one of these albums will open it and reveal photos inside (fig. 1.2). This mode is sometimes also called the \u201c2-level gallery\u201d:<\/p>\n

2. Gallery<\/strong> \u2013 media files from one or couple of albums are being displayed on a page (fig. 2). Clicking on a media file thumbnail will activate it (photos will be enlarged, videos will start to play). This mode is also called the \u201cflat\/plain\u201d, \u201c1-level\u201d or \u201cclassical\u201d gallery:<\/p>\n
