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

  1. Open Gallery Manager (or call the Media Browser from any page editor).
  2. Click New Gallery, pick images / videos / PDFs.
  3. Choose a layout (grid, masonry, or rows) and column count.
  4. 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.
