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 side by side is to use the classic WordPress editor. To do this, simply add a few images to your gallery and then choose to display them in a row. Once you’ve added your images, click 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 they’re displayed in.
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. Once you’ve added the new block, search for “Gallery” and then add your desired images. You can set the number of columns and the size of the thumbnails, and add captions to the images.
3. Using the plugin "Gutenberg Blocks - Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg"
If you want more control over the appearance and layout of your images, you can use the plugin "Gutenberg Blocks - Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg". This plugin adds many new blocks to the Gutenberg editor, including the "Advanced Columns" block, which allows you to create advanced column layouts. You can place any number of images next to each other, and you can also adjust the column size, margins, and spacing.
4. Using the "Elementor" plugin
Another popular tool for creating advanced page layouts is the plugin "Elementor". This is an advanced page editor that allows you to create any layout, including placing images side by side. To do this, add a new section and then add an "Image" widget to it. You can add additional "Image" widgets side by side, and also 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.
