 * What are the naming requirements/requirements in general to create an album template
   as opposed to a gallery template?

 * You will need to activate the albums extension first, and then you can create
   a new album, similar to how you create a gallery or post. The difference is that
   an album contains a number of galleries, rather than images.
 * You insert an album into a page with a shortcode.

 * Just following up on this as I’m not sure your reply [@bradvin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradvin/)
   answered the OPs question. It seems your answer is related to creating an album
   in the WP admin.
 * The OPs question, which I am also interested in, is about creating a custom template
   for an album. I have used the “Build Your Own” option to create a custom gallery
   template but would like to so the same for an album.
 * How do we go about creating a custom template for an Album the same as we can
   for a gallery.
 * Many Thanks!

 * [@bradvin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradvin/) – I’m seconding what
   [@zerogravity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zerogravity/) said: I’m not
   having a problem vreating albums.
 * I’m trying to create an album _template_. What needs to be done to do this?

 * Additional follow-up: I think I modified as much as I can and have the template
   mostly initialized; it shows up in the menu and on the front end at least. I’m
   currently running into a problem getting the js, etc into the head of the page
   the way it would work for a gallery template.
    If you can point me in the right
   direction here, I wouldn’t mind helping out [@zerogravity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zerogravity/)
   through the initial set-up once everything is working.

   on github and I can make the changes needed to get it working
