WP photo albums

Systreg · 05-02-2011, 06:05:40 PM

Does anyone know of a good WP ptoto album plugin, something which will basically turn a WP site in to a photograph gallery, anything like that exist, or are they just plugins for inserting images in to posts, also needs the ability for people to upload their photos as well.

you'd need a photo theme rather than plug-in, take a look at the theme Gallery where each photo is a post. Gallery looks really good but needs exact sized thumbnails and main images uploaded each time which could mean tidying up if you're not the poster.

Not sure about users uploading their own photos on WP, I think that would mean giving them posting rights.

I use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/ on a few sites.

You can resize all images within a gallery at the touch of a button, so you can just upload a lot of pictures and then resize to say 600 x 600 for easy viewing and it will resize whilst keeping aspects.

Haven't done it but I think you can set it up so that others (eg contributors) can add images.

Yes, you're right, I was having a look round and found some photo gallery themes, as opposed to gallery plugins, just thought there may have been something I'd missed that allowed a WP gallery plugin for people to be able to upload their images to it as well, cheers.

Hi Springer,

Thanks, yes, I saw that plugin and another one called yet another photo blog:

But I think it's going to have to be a propert photography theme that I need now, will have another browse and see what's bets suited to my needs.

Hi 360360,
