Photo Albums
Photo Albums let you group images together and display them on a page as a thumbnail grid or a slideshow. Create albums here, then place them on pages using the Photo Album Section.
Creating or editing an album
- Go to Photo Albums under Site Builder.
- Click Create Photo Album, or open an existing one.
- Enter the Name — this becomes the visible heading when the album is displayed on a page, so make it clear and specific.
- Leave Active on if the album is ready to use.
- Click Add Images to open the image chooser.
- Select the images you want from the Media Library, then click Save & Close.
- Drag the thumbnails into the order you want visitors to see them.
- Save.
Working with album images
Adding images: Click Add Images to select from your media library. You can pick multiple images at once. New selections are added to the end of the album — drag them into position after.
Reordering: The saved order is the order visitors see, both in grid and slideshow views. Put your strongest image first, especially for slideshows.
Removing images: Click the X on a thumbnail to remove it from the album. This only removes it from this album — it doesn't delete the file from the media library.
Image details: Albums use the alt text, title, and caption saved on the underlying media files. If an image has a caption, it can appear in the larger viewer or slideshow.
How albums appear on the website
Albums are displayed through the Photo Album Section on a page. The page section lets you choose between a Thumbnail Grid and a Slideshow layout:
- Grid — Shows thumbnails that visitors can click to open a larger image viewer.
- Slideshow — Shows one image at a time with navigation controls.
The album name appears as the section heading.
Tips
- Use similar image proportions within an album, especially for slideshows.
- Stay under the 10MB upload limit for each image.
- Reorder images after adding a batch so the opening images are your strongest.
- If you deactivate an album, also check any pages that use it and remove or replace the section.
If an album isn't working as expected
- Is the album marked Active?
- Is the page section pointing to the correct album?
- Were the images saved in the order you intended?
- Do the shared media files still exist?
- Was the page saved after changing album or section settings?
