Custom Post Name

By default name of this post in CuckooLove theme is set to Photos, but it can be changed according to your needs: go to Dashboard → Appearance → CuckooLove → Custom Posts.

Custom Taxonomy

Works Custom Post #1 has a custom taxonomy named Type, which functions in the same way as Categories used for the Posts.

Navigate to Dashboard → Works → Add New in your WordPress dashboard panel.

Step 4

Start adding content. You can add up to 10 images in a certain sequence. All images will be displayed in the internal gallery.

The recommended minimum gallery work image size is 960 x 475 pixels. Smaller images will be stretched to fit minimal gallery work image area. Smaller images without minimum size limitations can be added using page editing area.

If you want to have Images and Video in one work post, add all your content via post editing area as usual.
