I included a gallery in my Slick’s website. I commonly jump-the-gun on adding plugins without using the default options from WordPress. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I wasn’t really understanding they were in place for me to use. As I keep saying, this course is a lot of learning through experience.

I added a plugin called Photo Gallery to my WordPress to implement the gallery that exists on my Before & After page. I then (after researching shortcodes for my previous post) found that a default gallery can be made by clicking add gallery from the Media button.

I tried this, but could not get the slideshow to work . Then I found this tutorial that explained everything I needed. To make the slideshow options available, I needed to activate my Jetpack plugin!

In the end I didn’t use this Jetpack gallery and stuck with what I had already made.  But one other thing to remember is that there is a default width of 500px for the jetpack gallery. To change the size of the gallery, you can define it in the functions.php file with the following code:

if(!isset($content_width))
&content_width = 800;
