Gallery

Image Gallery

The gallery block displays a selection of images in a variable column grid for a clean grouping of images. Unlike the image-carousels block type, the image gallery block displays all images together in a grid.

Using the block in WordPress

Adding a block to the page

To add a gallery block, toggle the block inserter and search for the block named gallery. For more information on adding blocks see Getting Started

Editing

When adding a gallery to the page, you are presented with a blank block into which you can add selected images.

Select images from Media library. You can select multiple images.

After selecting Create gallery, you can further edit the order of the images before placing on the page.
