Gallery ID is assigned automatically. How can I change it?

Thank you for your message.

I want to change the ID of the gallery (Not the url). If I change the url, the ID remains the same. ??

I need to change the order of the galleries.

But I can not use ‘Names’ to sort, because I dont want them in alphabetic order. I can not use ‘Date’ to sort, because I want to add the newest photos now and later the oldest ones.

I need to order them with custom ID.

You can’t change the ID number of a gallery because it is a “primary” database key.

Why don’t you use the ID sort option? You can sort by ID ascending or descending.

Hi Peter,

If I use ID sort option it will show the galleries in the same order I have created them.

I will have about 200 galleries. I want to add first the newest ones. Then later on I will be adding the oldest galleries. But in the future I will add also new galleries.

If I use ID descending sort option, and add the oldest galleries later, they will be shown first in the frontpage.

If I use ID ascending sort option, new galleries in the future will not be first in the list.

I am little confused by your explanation but I think you may be asking for either:

1) sorting by the date a gallery has been updated,

OR,

2) displaying the latest added photos across all galleries.

Number 1 is currently not possible but we can probably add it in a future release.

Number 2 is currently available as a shortcode.

Example:

To display the latest 100 photos added put the following code on a page:

[WPS_latest_photos number_photos=”100″]

The above will display the latest 100 added photos across all of your galleries.

Please confirm which of the above best matches what you are after.

Update:

I have added the ability to sort by date “updated” for a gallery. I think this will achieve what you are looking for.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your help. It is not quite what I was looking for but it could work (I will check it later).

I am planning to use albums. I would make one album for every year. And I want to show in the homepage the galleries of the present and the past year.

For example this year I want to show in the homepage the galleries from the albums 2016 and 2015. Next year I will make a new album called 2017 and want to show the galleries of the albums 2016 and 2017.

Is there a shortcode to show gallerien of the 2 latest albums?

(I would like to use shortcode that my client can add his photos without my help..)

the Latest Photos are displayed with Template 1 is there a way to change that?

[Peter]

Hi iancc,

Currently the latest photos shortcode feature is only available in the template 1 option.

I will see what can be done about extending this feature with other templates.
