You can use WordPress’ native galleries.
Create or edit the page and then click the “Add an image” button (it looks like a tiny picture and it’s first from the left next to “Upload/Insert” above the post edit area. You can use this to upload the picture and WordPress will automatically generate the various sizes (including thumbnails). Now, it’s important to note that once you add an image via this method while writing or editing a post/page, it will be “assigned” to the post/page. Once you have uploaded all of the desired pictures, click the “Add an image” button again and go to the “Gallery” tab. Set your desired settings and click the “Insert Gallery” button at the bottom to add the gallery to your page.
This document describes the whole process in more detail.
Once you have it setup, there are plenty of good plugins to further “enhance” the gallery, like jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries.
Hi macmanx,
Thanks for the suggestion, and I’d like to use the WP native gallery more in the future, but I’m trying to find a way to put one large image on main page which rotates through a series of uploaded photos.
The key is that nobody has to click anything; the images just scroll through.
Not sure I’m explaining it right, but it would work like it does in the arras theme, except fit in the main box on julieorrdesign.com homepage.
Sounds like you are looking for wp-cycle.
It’s an ultra-lightweight slideshow that does one thing and only one thing, a slideshow on one page. Sometimes less is more.
