Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Gallery by BestWebSoft – Customizable Image and Photo Galleries for WordPress

Go to 'Galleries' > 'Add New' in WordPress admin. Add or upload images via the 'Add Media' button. Save your gallery. See detailed instructions here: How to Use Gallery Plugin

Template files are located in /wp-content/plugins/gallery-plugin/templates/. To customize without losing changes during updates, copy templates to your theme folder: /wp-content/themes/your-theme/bws-templates/ Example: Copy /wp-content/plugins/gallery-plugin/templates/gallery-single-template.php to /wp-content/themes/your-theme/bws-templates/gallery-single-template.php

Your theme likely lacks thumbnail support. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file: add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'theme_setup' ); function theme_setup() { add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); } This will enable thumbnails and fix the error.

In the WordPress admin menu, go to "Galleries", select your gallery, and reorder images via drag-and-drop. Make sure the plugin setting Sort images by is set to Sorting order in the Gallery.

Replace <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> with <html> in your header.php. Remove direction: rtl; from body CSS and apply it to the main wrapper element instead. Example for Twenty Eleven or Twenty Ten themes: `css body { /* remove this / / direction: rtl; */ } .hfeed { direction: rtl; }
