10 Steps To Build a Photo Page for Wordpress

Posted by: Toan Nguyen Minh on July 30 in Design

Yesterday, I have spent most of my time for creating a photo page for my wordpress blog. See my photo page: @Photos

To create this page, I use a plugin that is Flickr Photo Album for WordPress, this plugin will allow you pull your photos in Flickr to your blog and display them. And you can also design your photo page according to your hobby and your idea by using some styles as: Light Box, Thickbox, Face Box, and etc. And the most important that you can add a comment form and then customizing your photo page to suit your blog theme.

Surely you also want to do a photo page for your blog? If “Yes”

Step 1. See my demo.

Step 2. Download CuteFTP software.

Step 3. Download Flickr Photo Album for WordPress plugin.

Step 4. Joining Flickr and then follow me on Flickr @clickkt

Step 5. Uploading some pics and add some albums.

Step 6. Install Flickr Photo Album for WordPress Plugin.

  1. Unpack / unzip the archive
  2. Copy the entire “tantan-flickr” directory to your Wordpress plugins directory. Your wordpress plugins directory should be something like [WORDPRESS DIR]/wp-content/plugins. Upgrading Note: Just overwrite all the files inside the tantan-flickr directory. If you made edits, then make sure you make a backup just in case something goes wrong!
  3. Go into your Wordpress admin, click on the “Plugins” tab, and then activate “Flickr Photo Gallery”.
  4. Click on the “Options” (or “Settings”) tab, and click the “Photo Album” subtab to bring up the options screen.
  5. Just follow the onscreen prompts to link your photo album to your Flickr account.
  6. Once your photo album is linked to your Flickr account, enter a URL where you want your photo album to appear.
  7. You’re done! To view your photo album, just go to the URL you entered in the previous step. To insert a photo, just click on the Flickr icon  in your “Add media” bar when editing posts. Click on a photo, select a size, and a HTML snippet for that photo will appear in the post’s textarea. Cool!

Step 7. Read Flickr Photo Album for WordPress’s page for installing and customizing templates.

Step 8. Add WP-Supper Cache to optimize your photos.

Step 9. Add your comment here if you have a problem with your photo page.

Step 10. Read my interview on Famous Bloggers Club.
