Step 1: Go to the Home Page or Galleries Page
From the home page or your Galleries page, click on the + New Gallery button in the upper right. A Create New Gallery box should pop up.
Step 2: Name Your New Gallery
From the Create New Gallery box, go to the Gallery Name field and type in a name for your gallery. The gallery name is the only required field.
After typing in a name, there are optional settings available:
Event Date field: Set the date when the photos were or will be taken, choose or type in a date.
Expiration Date field: If the gallery shouldn’t be visible to anyone after a certain date, choose or pick the date that the gallery should expire on.
Select the Display in Gallery Directory checkbox to display your gallery in your gallery directory.
To add a project to your gallery or manage your gallery’s SEO settings, click on the blue Additional Options text.
Project drop-down field: Click and choose the project that this gallery should be associated with.
The Description field can be used for event location, details, and so on.
To optimize your gallery for search results, you can use SEO Title and SEO Description fields.
Once you’re done with the optional settings, click on the Next: Choose a Cover Layout button.
Note: You can change these settings at any time after creating your gallery, so you don’t need to decide whether you want to use all of them now.
Step 3: Choose a Cover Layout Theme
Your Cover Theme controls your gallery’s cover image layout, title font, and other gallery cover details.
Click on the different theme styles (Popular, All, Berlin, etc) below the header, and click on a style you like.
A yellow check mark will appear when you make a selection.
After choosing a cover theme, click on the Next: Choose a Thumb Style button.
Step 4: Finalize Your New Gallery’s Design Settings
In the final section, there are different design options for your gallery in three tabs.
Thumbnail Style Tab: Choose a thumbnail style to control how your thumbnails appear in your gallery.
Menu Location Tab: Choose whether your gallery’s menu should be a vertical top style menu, or horizontally on the left or right side of the gallery.
Background Color: Set your gallery background to Light Mode or Dark Mode.
Once you’re satisfied with the choices you’ve made, click on the Create Gallery button.
