CREATION OF A GALLERY

Let’s create a Gallery with Modula. Click on ” Add New “. Once there, click on “Add Images” or ” select from Library”. I have also decided on a title. You can also do this immediately or after.

I just uploaded all the Images/Logos made for each article I have written, for this article I decided to create an ” Article Collection” with Modula.

The next step is to adjust the settings below, next click on “Publish” at your right.

At this point, the Gallery is published. The only thing to do is to go to “Galleries” and copy the shortcode to paste into the page.

There is the shortcode just created.

The only thing to do is to take the code and paste it in the page where one wants the Gallery to appear. One can then further customize it to make it look as wished.
