The battle royal of image display
Slideshows and galleries are a super slick way to show off your photos, but getting them to look their best can take a little practice. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a few tips and tricks to help you master them.

Galleries and slideshows look identical on the page, but each method is . Each has different benefits, so choose which method suits your purposes best.

Use a if: you want to display photos that are already uploaded to your site. This is the default WordPress method of displaying multiple pictures together, and it’s a bit easier than making a slideshow. The downside to this method is that you can only display a gallery on a story — not on your homepage.

Use a if: you want to display a collection of photos as well as a story. This method is a little more confusing, so make sure you follow our directions exactly. Additionally, slideshow photos cannot already exist on your site — you must upload them at the time you create the slideshow.

No matter which method you use, make sure to also include a featured image. We recommend you use one of the photos from your slideshow or gallery.

Final step: if you’ve created a gallery, set the featured image location to “Do Not Display.” For a slideshow, set the featured image location to “Slideshow of All Attached Images.” This will ensure that the featured image doesn’t get in the way of your other photos.
