<p>I wanted to take the convenience and ease of use of the built-in WordPress <code>[gallery]</code> shortcode and add a little more functionality to it.  By organizing your galleries as multiple child pages of one parent page, you can use this plugin to see a preview thumbnail and description of each gallery.</p>
<h3>Styling</h3>
<p>Version 1.2 added increasing styling options by wrapping each element in a <code><div</code>.  There are two display options included with the plugin and limitless possibilities exist for any type of custom styling you would like to do.  Horizontal styling is the default using only the <code>[albumize]</code> shortcode.  However, to use the included vertical styling (thanks <a href="http://www.penguinandpanda.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Roman!</a>) simply use <code>[albumize style='vert']</code>.</p>
<p>To add your own custom styling, use <code>[albumize style='yourstylename']</code> (where ‘yourstylename’ is any name you’d like to classify it as) and add the styling to your themes stylesheet.  The Albumize elements are classified as the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>albumize_gallery_yourstylename</code></li>
<li><code>albumize_thumb_yourstylename</code></li>
<li><code>albumize_title_yourstylename</code></li>
<li><code>albumize_desc_yourstylename</code></li>
<li><code>albumize_count_yourstylename</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever you use for the <em>style</em> attribute will be used as the last part of the element classification when the album is displayed.  Just add your own styling for these elements and you are all set to go.  Add as many different styles as you want and call any of them using the <em>style</em> attribute.</p>


Albumize

This plugin organizes different WordPress 2.5+ galleries into albums for easy display and navigation by using parent/child pages and custom fields.

Album Gallery for Photo & Video

This plugin is exactly what I want! After installation I knew it is simple and it does what I want, a gallery of albums. It looks very nice and has a lot of useful options. It is simple but has the best amount of settings in order to be easy to setup.

Simple and Efficient

So today I saw a popup with text like "This theme recommends these plugins...(some plugins listed here)". That's a lie as this theme was 100% created by me and every plugin mentioned in this popup was built by WP Life - so it goes without saying which plugin was showing me that deceptive popup. The only one I had installed by WP Life. My theme doesn't recommend any of your plugins so why are you lying? 

1 star for lying


I needed gallery albums that can be displayed on the same page, each one having it's own lightbox gallery that opens on click and contains the title.



This plugin allowed me to do this in 5 minutes.



The animations on load and hover may seem like too much, but they can be disabled in a few seconds.



Thanks for the great plugin!


Awesome album plugin!
