03 / Website use cases

Where to use attached image gallery

Posts often have several photos uploaded to them, but a gallery has to be built by hand for every post, and a single post template cannot hold one gallery per post. Attached image gallery shows the images uploaded to the post being viewed, in the post's own media order, with their alt text and captions, so one widget in a template gives every post its own gallery.

01
