  • Changing the World:

    Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -Steve Jobs, Apple CEO

Gallery2 Integration into WordPress

Posted by Sean Gardinier on July 28th, 2007

After installing Gallery2, I really wanted to find a way to mesh them together. I wanted visitors to be able to view random photos and interact with the gallery within WordPress. This WP Plugin, WPG2, was the answer! It was a little tricky to get working. They have a decent support page for the plugin at http://wpg2.galleryembedded.com

To have images from your Gallery2 show up in a sidebar, you need to add the code in there! If you’re a bit lazy, Alywin took several popular WP themes and optimized them for WPG2. You can find the optimized theme’s at: http://dev.cal-family.org/category/wpg2-themes/

Another issue I was having was G2’s theme not integrating with WordPress. The default G2 theme’s width extends beyond the WP template. I took the suggestion from the support page to use their G2 theme for WordPress. With some minor adjustments, everything seems to be working nicely.
