Custom galleries

The page is dedicated to managing Custom Galleries, meaning those that are not linked to a specific product. You can create a gallery for any page (for example, “Home Page Gallery”, “Summer Promo”, etc.) and fill it with photos.

Page overview

This page provides a complete overview of your Custom Galleries. You can review some info about your galleries or configure the display of those on the page. The exact functions include:

• Sort the products in ascending and descending order by their name or by the status of the photo.

• Review the number of Pending, Approved, and Rejected photos by each gallery.

• Review the status of each gallery.

To create the gallery, utilize the Create gallery button. After tapping on it, you’ll see the window, where the only field you’ll need to fill is the gallery name. Use the button Create to finish the process.

With all the created Custom Galleries, you can process the next changes:

• Rename the gallery

  
• Hide or unhide the gallery

  

  
• Delete the gallery

  

You can also delete or set the galleries as visible or hidden via the bulk editing.

Main Theme App Block Status

This section allows you to see whether the Custom Galleries are enabled or disabled on your Theme.

In case the Custom Galleries are enabled, there is an option to review which exact templates they are added to.

Via the “Add to another template” feature, you can easily select from the drop-down list the needed template and add the gallery to more templates or to the first one.

Editing the Custom Gallery

To redact the specific Custom Gallery, you navigate to the respective gallery that you’d like to edit.

After clicking on it, you’ll be redirected to the page with the advanced functions.

On this page, you can review the photos assigned to that specific Custom Gallery by each of the statuses:

• All

• Pending

• Approved

• Rejected

Upload photo

This button on the Custom Galleries page is utilized in the same way as on the Photos page. Read more about it here.

However, there is one additional option - to add the photo from the already uploaded. To do this, use the Choose from existing button.

In case you uploaded the photo to one Custom Gallery and would like to add it also to another, use the Choose from existing button on the second Custom Gallery page or via the Manage galleries [Link to the Assign the photo to the gallery block on the Photos page] button on the Photos page.

Change the status of the photo

In the Customer Photo Uploader application, the photo can have different statuses, such as:

• Processing

• Pending

• Rejected

• Approved

Learn more information on each status and how to change them on this page.

Assign the photo to the gallery

Use the Manage Galleries button to assign a specific photo to any of your Custom or Product Galleries.

This feature provides the same editing option as on the Product Galleries page. To see the detailed overview, please follow this link.

Additionally, on the page dedicated to a specific Custom Gallery in the Customer Photo Uploader, you can:

• Rename the photo’s title and file name

• Delete the photo

• View the photo in Files

An advanced photo management option on a Custom Gallery page is the ability to remove a specific photo from that gallery. Please note that the photo will not be deleted permanently. You can still find it on the Photos page and assign it to another Product or Custom Gallery if needed.

FAQs about the Custom Galleries page

How do Custom Galleries differ from Product Galleries?

Custom Galleries are not linked to a specific product and can be created for any page (e.g., “Home Page Gallery” or “Summer Promo”). Product Galleries, on the other hand, are tied to individual products and display photos only on those product pages.

What do the statuses “Hidden” and “Visible” mean on a gallery?

A Visible gallery is available for you to choose in the Customize mode of your Theme editor, and therefore can be shown on your store or designated page, while a Hidden gallery is not displayed to customers. You can toggle these statuses individually or through bulk editing.

Will deleting a photo from a Custom Gallery remove it from the app completely?

No. Removing a photo from a Custom Gallery only unlinks it from that gallery. The photo will remain in the app library and can be added to other Custom or Product Galleries at any time.
