This amazing widget allows you to create an attractive Album Gallery in which you can make separate layouts for every different set of items in each different default group. This allows you to make a unique album for your different categories. Let’s see how to do that.

Click on the Gallery Section under the Content Tab. Select the Album Gallery from gallery type. After that, you will see multiple groups by name (default). Click on any of these groups and name it as you like. Here you can even set the featured image and add multiple items in one group to create an Album Gallery.

Now to set the featured image, click on the Featured Image option and choose any image of your choice from the media library or upload it from your PC. Then by clicking the option under gallery images insert multiple items under one group/category to showcase other items of the gallery. I have also renamed the group according to the set of items.

Similarly, you can add a feature and gallery images to all the default groups or even add more groups by clicking on the Add Item option. This option also allows you to set the size of your image to get the best adjustment for resolution. The Feature image of every set of album gallery items will show up on the front.

Let me also show a preview of these albums, how they will appear in real-time on your site.

You can even create an attractive Simple Gallery using our Premium Carousel Gallery Widget. From the Content Tab click on the Gallery Section. Select the Simple Gallery from gallery type. Just click any of the default groups and similarly add the feature image & gallery items the same way we did above for Album Gallery.

Just like we did for Album Gallery above, here while creating Simple Gallery you can add a feature and gallery images to all the default groups or even add more groups by clicking on the Add Item option. A Simple Carousel Gallery works similarly to an image carousel where all your gallery items can be shown in front one after another. Here is a preview of this.

Adding navigation arrows to your carousel gallery will help you to indicate to the users that there is more content to view. Now for a better understanding of how these navigation arrows work in Carousel Gallery.

Move towards the Settings section in the Content Tab and Enable the Show Nav Button. These navigation arrows are clickable to view the remaining gallery.

So if you use 4 different sets of Album Gallery with the Show Nav Button active, the real-time result will look something like this.

Once you have done adding the navigation arrows, you can even style it according to the theme of your website and make a better UX. Just toggle towards the Style Tab and below from the Navigation section. From there you can change the size of the navigation icon, the size of the background, and the position of these navigation arrows respectively. Moreover, you can use any color combination to style these icons most attractively.

You can even add a Hover Effect to the arrows, just by toggling to the hover option and similarly selecting the icon and background color.
