# Need a really simple image display plugin

 * I’m looking to mess around a bit with some javascript to create my own image 
   display effects. But I need a plugin that will have an area in the admin section
   to upload a bunch of images to a gallery, then insert them on to the page as **
   ONLY** a full size list of images (preferably in a div or ul). My problem right
   now is I can’t find a gallery plugin that isn’t trying to force it’s own flash
   slideshow or thumbnail creation method upon me.
 * Essentially what I’m after would resemble just inserting each image onto the 
   page one by one. I’d just rather have the process automated by a back end image
   upload interface if possible…
 * Thanks in advance

 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Esmi/The_WordPress_Gallery) 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](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-lightbox-for-native-galleries/).

 * Thanks first for your response. This is what I thought would be a good idea, 
   however the native gallery functions are still designed around thumbnails. Something
   I don’t want.
 * The only solution using the native gallery tools is to not use a gallery at all,
   but instead “show” each image settings, customize them, and then add the individual
   image. Then repeat. Not ideal, as it’s incredibly time consuming for a large 
   gallery. I’d rather be able to just tell it to add the gallery with all the same
   image settings, which includes displaying all images at full size with no thumbnails.
 * Can anyone help with this? Is there such a solution around?

 * Switch to the HTML editor tab and add `size="full"` to the gallery shortcode.
   Ex:
 * `[gallery size="full"]`

 * Ah, very good point that. In fact the shortcode has allowed me to make a couple
   of other tweaks that I would have needed. A slight annoyance seeing as I intend
   to pass this off to someone else once built (and it’s always nicer to simply 
   have a pretty UI take care of it), but nothing too egregious under the circumstances
   of this site.
 * For the sake of people who stumble on this thread later trying to answer their
   own problems, I was annoyed to discover changing the gallery=”link” shortcode
   to gallery=”none” didn’t work, but this gent has happily solved that problem;

 * Again, would be nice to not have to edit a includes file but it works.
