Quick Start

Follow these steps to display your first gallery on a page:

1. Go to FW Gallery → Categories and create a gallery category.
2. Go to FW Gallery → Files, upload your images, and assign them to the category.
3. Create or edit a WordPress page and insert the shortcode [fwmg_categories] into the content area.
4. Publish the page and view it in the browser.

To display a specific gallery rather than all categories, pass the category ID in the shortcode:

• [fwmg_categories category_id="1"] — displays the gallery with ID 1
• [fwmg_categories category_id="1,2,3"] — displays multiple galleries

All gallery output on WordPress is controlled through shortcodes inserted into page or post content. See the Shortcodes section for the full list of available shortcodes and parameters.
