Social Media Management

Working with Featured Content Gallary

I am finding out that this is not for the novice. But I am going to figure it out before to long.

I am finding out that I have to have two posts to get the gallery to load properly. Not only that, I also have to add custom fields to the post. So this is my second post.

There are four custom field names that have to be used for the gallery.

  • articleimg
  • featuredtext
  • alttext
  • thumbnailimg

But not only that I have to put a value to the field.

For images just copy the url from your media library. for featured text the value is what you want to be seen. Alttext supposedly puts text with the image.

It is also suggested that the images be no larger than 586px in width x 261px in height. You can crop to the larger images.

There is another feature to where you can add the gallery anywhere in your blog by using this script.

<?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php’); ?>

I have mine set up on my landing page via the cool theme I am using called

intrepidity 1.5.1 by Top Blog Formula

It is free and very cool, I like it so far. But time will tell.
