You could use regular galleries. They are created with the full media manager, and a shortcode is placed in the post.

There is no official way to do so. This was built to mirror the Featured Images functionality, and each page can only have one Featured Image.

Theoretically you could built a front-end display that only took the first x number of images in the featured gallery. How many do you want on each page?

Hi Torsten, just wanted to let you know that I18n has now been implemented.

I’m glad to hear that, and I guess you’re welcome, though I don’t really think I did anything to help. Taking over existing projects is always a challenge; I prefer taking a project from beginning to end. Cheers!

It looks like that site is using the Owl Carousel plugin. Is it using Featured Galleries in combination?

I didn’t, I ended up adding a metadata field called lastName. On save, the last work in the Title field is placed in the lastName field and saved, and I use that metadata to sort.

Go Modern, since you haven’t responded, can I assume that you have resolved your questions?

Since I can’t reproduce and I haven’t heard anything back from you I’m going to mark this as resolved. If it occurs again for you, please let me know and include the details requested above.

I’m not sure what you mean. First, what slider, and second, what pages? Do you mean the media attachment pages?

I cannot reproduce. I’ve tried 3.9.1 and 4.0 Beta. EDIT: Also tested in 3.9.2. I’ve tried with Pages, Posts, and several custom post types. Also tried across several installations. This means that the culprit is probably something specific to your installation. If you can provide some details, I can investigate further:

WP Version
PHP Version
Post Type
Exact Steps You Took

I will look into it tonight. What version of WP are you using?

If you add that code to the functions.php file, it will appear on whatever CTP you have specified. In the example above, it would appear on a theme with the ID ctp_slug. You can specify multiple CTPs since it is returning an array.

Note, this will make the box appear in the backend. The theme will have to build the presentation into any templates, just like themes have to build featured images in. If you purchased a theme which isn’t built with Featured Galleries in mind, you’ll have to do it yourself.

I’m going to mark this as resolved since it appears you got it working. Cheers on the great idea, btw. Would you mind if I referenced people back to this thread if a similar question comes up in the future?

I’m not 100% sure about the beginning part (getting the array of IDs from the inline images), but the ending part should absolutely work. You are correct about $events_meta, I built the plugin from some code I wrote for a specific website, and the CTP was Events, I seem to have forgotten to change the variable name to something more general. Did the final code end up working?

Are you asking about a quick way to automatically scan all existing posts and convert images? I feel like a script could be done, but to be honest I’m not sure how.

If you are asking, can you use a featured gallery to display inline images, then yes! I feel like the best way to go would be to write a short code, something like [featured-gallery 1], to display the first image, and so on and so forth. I think that I should add at least a simple [featured-gallery] shortcode that would display all the images.

The reason I haven’t is because I’ve tried to divorce presentation from backend creation. By letting theme developers create the presentation, a featured gallery can fit anything. But It would probably be good to have a simple [featured-gallery] shortcode, even if it just ends up being an example of what can be done.
