Gallery Manager & Media Browser
One unified media browser you use everywhere in the admin — plus a gallery builder for images, videos, PDFs, and combined layouts.
What it does
Gallery Manager is two things: a media browser for organizing and picking files (folders, upload, drag-and-drop, multi-select), and a gallery builder that produces embeddable galleries for public pages.
Build a gallery
- Open Gallery Manager (or call the Media Browser from any page editor).
- Click New Gallery, pick images / videos / PDFs.
- Choose a layout (grid, masonry, or rows) and column count.
- Save, then paste the generated shortcode into any page.
Organize with drag-and-drop
- Move between folders — drag a thumbnail onto a folder header (or into its grid). Empty folders are collapsed; hover to expand the drop zone.
- Drag into a Content Stack — with a stack editor open, drag a thumbnail into its playlist; the block lands where you release.
Pick vs. select
Single-click behavior depends on where the browser is open:
- In Gallery / HTML editors: a click picks the file.
- In a Content Stack: a click only selects — drag is how you insert.
- Ctrl/Shift-click: toggles multi-select for bulk actions (anywhere).
- Right-click a file: context menu (delete, etc.).
Tips
Empty folders look empty because they’re collapsed — hover to drop into them.
If clicks aren’t picking media, you’re in a Content Stack — drag to insert instead.
Thumbnails come from MediaThumbs. If one looks wrong, clear the thumb cache to regenerate it.
