Here instructions for the galleries. It works best with a Laptop/PC, but will be difficult from a phone.
- There are new pics in the web, for example on Twitter. First of all you create a folder on your harddrive. If it’s an appearance, call it the date with the following structure: yyyy-mm-dd – so it’d be for example 2024-12-31. If it’s a photo session, call it the date as much as you know and the photographer name (like 2024-02-photographer). For movies, go with the movie name with hyphens. Magazines are sorted by year or month, depending on how many there are.
- Download the pics into the folder. Afterwards, check that there are no duplicates (for Mac I have the app “DupeGuruPE”) and rename them if possible (for Mac I have an Automator workflow) to something like date-location and maybe even resize the filesize by removing the exif date (for Mac I have ImageOptim).
- Now your folder is finished to be uploaded. Go to the WordPress Admin Panel. There, go to the “File Manager” from the left sidebar (with more knowledge you can also connect by ftp). Here, go to the right folder, for example Appearances -> 2024.
- Drag your new created folder into the window and wait till the images are all uploaded.
- Now go to Galleries -> Add New
- Here put in these Details:
