A mosaic of an image gallery instead of the entire image gallery inside a post?

  • Hello, I would like to illustrate my blog post with a bunch of pics. However, instead of posting an entire image gallery in middle of the blog and taking up a lot of space, I would like to just post a mosaic of the first few pics, plus a count of the total number of pics. Like this:

    mosaic of pointing to image gallery

    How do I do that? Is there a plugin that can do that? I think DailyMail website did this until recently. Just a mosaic of first few pics plus the count of total pics – instead of actually posting a million thumbs inside the blog.

  • Hi,
    There is no any plugin to make this feature. It is better to find the freelancer to make this feature. Please try https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://jetpack.pro/ to find the freelancer.
    Thanks

    This looks like a Facebook gallery. It’s a great idea but as far as I can tell, there’s not (yet) one available like this for WP.

    Hello,

    This is another example of what I’m talking about: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/donald-trump-mike-flynn-national-security-russia-fbi-james-comey-immunity-a7661576.html#gigya-share-btns-2_gig_containerParent

    On a a small screen, a gallery of 8 pics is represented as a mosaic and here’s the key: the total number of pics in the gallery is stated in the bottom right corner, clueing in the user to the availability of pics:

    sshot

    On larger screens, it appears as an inline carousel:

    sc

    I think this is brilliant because it conserves screen real-estate for those of us who might have a lot of pics and want to use a plethora of images to raise the stickiness of our site but at the same time don’t want to 1. fill a story post with all the thumbs that belong to a gallery 2. just put inside a post a link to separate gallery elsewhere without at least showing SOME thumbs and the number of available pics.

    The Independent site uses Drupal. Does anyone know what module they are using? is there any plugin in WP that does something similar. Hard to believe so many plugins and no one’s done this before???
