The default gallery style here comes from the setting for permalink style galleries in “ProPhoto > Customizer (Template group) > Galleries > Gallery styles.” Here you an override that style for this gallery.

But you are never locked into this style. Each time you insert any gallery you can override with any style you have created in “ProPhoto > Customizer (Design group) > Galleries “.
All the standard WordPress publishing options are available allowing you to password protect, save as a draft, keep as private, and schedule for future publishing.
Like regular posts/pages, you can feature an image for a gallery. Any time your gallery is included in a grid, this is the image that will be used for the grid thumbnail. It also may be the image used in link previews when sharing your link on social media sites.
Galleries can be inserted into posts or pages or templates, but they also exist all on their own, much like a single post page. When editing an gallery you can see the permalink that WordPress assigns.
These gallery pages include a slug indicating that it is a ProPhoto gallery. The default slug is gallery
, giving urls that look something like http://mysite.com/gallery/recent-wedding/
. This slug can be customized in “ProPhoto > Settings > Site Settings > Misc”. What you enter will replace the /gallery/
portion of the url. Please note that if you are using plain permalinks, this setting will have no effect. Slugs should contain no special characters or spaces, and should not be identical to any post or page slug, or else pages may not display correctly.
