How to create a gallery from a folder?

If you already have images uploaded to a specific folder on your WordPress site, you can quickly transform them into a stunning gallery using Modula.

No need to manually upload each image again! Whether your images are in a folder within your media library or another location inside your site's upload directories, Modula makes the process simple and efficient

Steps to Create a Gallery from a Folder

  1. Create a New Gallery

    Start by logging into your WordPress admin dashboard. On the left sidebar, click on Modula, then navigate to Galleries.

    To begin, click the Add New button to create a new gallery.

  2. Upload Images from a Folder

    After creating your gallery, click on Add New again and choose From Folder. This will open a file browser.

  3. Navigate to the Folder and Create Your Gallery

    Use the browser modal to locate the folder within your WordPress uploads directory where your images are stored. Choose your folder and click Create Gallery from Folders to instantly generate your gallery.

    You’ll also see an option to Delete files from folder after upload. If you enable this option, the images in the folder will be automatically deleted from your WordPress directory after they’ve been uploaded to the gallery.

    You will notice a progress bar similar to this one:

    Your new gallery will be created using the images from your selected folder. You can now tweak the settings, captions, and more to personalize it.

With Modula, it's easy to transform existing images from your WordPress site's upload directories into a beautiful gallery. This method saves you time and allows you to use already uploaded images seamlessly.
