WordPress is a platform that allows users to publish content in a variety of formats. One of these formats are images, which can significantly enrich and make the content on the website more attractive. Here are some methods that allow you to place images side by side in WordPress.
1. Using the classic WordPress editor
The first and easiest way to place images next to each other is to use the classic WordPress editor. To do this, simply add several images to the gallery and then select that you want to display them in a row. After adding the images, click on the “Add to gallery” button and then select the “Display images in a row” option. You can also adjust the size of the images and the number of columns in which they should be displayed.
2. Using the Gutenberg block editor
The Gutenberg block editor, available since WordPress 5.0, allows you to easily place images side by side using the “Gallery” block. After adding a new block, search for “Gallery” and then add the images of your choice. You can set the number of columns and the size of thumbnails, and add captions to images.
3. Using the “Gutenberg Blocks – Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg” plugin
If you want to have more control over the appearance and arrangement of images, you can use the “Gutenberg Blocks – Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg” plugin. This plugin adds many new blocks to the Gutenberg editor, including the “Advanced Columns” block that allows you to create advanced column layouts. You can place any number of images side by side and adjust the column size, margins and spacing.
4. Using the “Elementor” plugin
Another popular tool for creating advanced page layouts is the “Elementor“. It is an advanced page editor that allows you to create any layouts, including placing images next to each other. To do this, add a new section and then add the “Image” widget to it. You can add additional “Image” widgets side by side and adjust their size and position.
Each of these solutions has its advantages and disadvantages, so the choice depends on your needs and skills. Remember that the key to using images effectively on a website is to adjust them appropriately - not only size and position, but also optimization for website performance. Therefore, it is always worth using tools to compress images and manage their size on different devices.
