Once your wordpress based site with galleries powered by wp-simpleviewer is setup it is super easy to create galleries and be on your way.
Step 1
- Launch your FTP client (cyberduck for mac and filezilla for PC)
- navigate to the following folder
- yoursite.com –> wp-content –> photos
- name your folder of JPEGs something appropriate (portrait, dogs, cats, product7, etc)
- avoid using characters and other funky naming systems
- drag and drop your folder of JPEGs to the photo directory you found in step 2
Step 2
- Launch your web browser
- navigate to yoursite.com/wp-admin
- select “wp-sv galleries†from under the media heading on the left sidebar
- select the radio button of the gallery that you would like to generate
- select create gallery
- allow the browser to sit and wait undisturbed until a yellow box appears that says “yeah we are done†at the bottom
Step 3
- Select create new page under Pages on the left sidebar
- select the first button above the formatting bar
- the icon looks like a gallery and when hovered over says wp-simpleviewer
- select the desired gallery
- select insert into post
- if you desire a statement below/above the gallery you can input text accordingly either below or above the line of code that is inserted in step 3
- over on the upper right side of the screen you can select privacy settings
- private prevents the page from appearing linked on your site
- password will apply a password that you choose
- public will appear in the navigation of your site
- when you are ready select publish.
