The Photo Gallery widget makes it easy to add multiple images to your site. When images in the Photo Gallery are clicked, they can be opened in a lightbox gallery or linked to a page on your site, a website URL, a popup, an anchor, an email address or more. You can add titles, descriptions and alternative text to each image.

Add the Photo Gallery widget to your site. To learn more about adding widgets to your site, see Add Widgets. Once the widget has been placed, the Content Editor appears.

Update the Photo GalleryWidget

If your Photo Gallery has been added after September 24th or if you have updated the widget already, you are using the new gallery widget.

If your Photo Gallery was added before September 24th, you have the option to update your widget or use the old Photo

Gallery widget settings to edit your gallery. To switch to the new photo gallery, click Update Widget. If you update the widget, a backup of the site will be created automatically. If you reload a backup or undo while editing an existing Photo Gallery widget, you will need to re-update the widget.

Note

You do not have to update your widget, and can edit your widget using the previous widget editor.
