How to create a gallery update page for customers

  • Hello everyone, everything good?

    I need to create a page so that my client can update the image gallery. The gallery will still be created, at first I will do it in Elementor, there will be several carousels with various client projects. The page would have to allow the customer to simply update photos and create new carousels in a simple way.

    Does anyone know of a plugin or have needed to do something similar? I can use other technologies to create, as long as it is possible to make this available to the customer.

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • By installing and activating the User Role Editor plugin, your client can gain access to the Contributor role within the WordPress dashboard. From there, your client can select the Contributor role and check the box next to ‘upload_files’ to allow users with this role to upload images.

    Any customer with adequate role capabilities could modify or create galleries using the usual WP interface. Unfortunately, even the WP interface is too complex for some customers. Also, by having adequate role capability, there’s a risk they could accidentally damage other parts of the site.

    The best approach will depend on how technically adept your customers are. It’s feasible to manage role capabilities to only allow the editing of galleries and nothing else. It may take some custom coding to effectively do this. I recommend finding an easy to use gallery plugin that lets users manage gallery content independently from the page editor. The resulting gallery is included on any page via shortcode or plugin specific block.

    If the gallery created this way is managed as an independent post type, then role capabilities for it can be independent from default WP capabilities. Thus users can manage their galleries, but cannot possibly damage other parts of the site. Plugins typically don’t work this way, but it’s possible a few do. Even if not, their source code could likely be modified so they do work as needed.

    Altering a plugin’s source code is strongly discouraged, but it might be preferable to developing a completely bespoke solution from the ground up. If you do modify a plugin’s source code, you are essentially forking it and your version becomes your own which you will be responsible to maintain. It will no longer be the plugin you started with.
