Installing Shutter

You can install Shutter just like you can any other WordPress plugin. Grab the latest version from the official WordPress.org plugin respository. You can either download Shutter from your WordPress Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New or manually download and upload it via FTP, etc.

Once downloaded/installed head on over to WP Dashboard -> Plugins and activate Shutter.

Using Shutter

After you’ve downloaded, installed and activated Shutter you should see the Shutter menu item on the left-hand side of your WordPress Dashboard. From here you’ll be able to add/manage your galleries and Shutter settings.

To add a gallery visit WP Dashboard -> Shutter ->  “Add Gallery”. Give your Gallery a title and upload your images using the WordPress upload/insert media area. Simply drag & drop the images for your gallery and save. There’s no need to insert these images into the visual editor as Shutter will use the images attached to the post.

Available Shortcodes

Use the following Shortcodes in your Posts/Pages and Custom Post types to display galleries:

Display Specific Gallery

[shutter_gallery name="Example Gallery"]

Display All Galleries

[shutter_galleries"]

Theme Compatibility

Shutter has been designed to be compatible with most themes. There’s a possibility you’ll need to make some adjustments for things to look good with your theme. Here’s an example snippet you can use in your theme’s functions.php to adjust Shutter to work with your theme’s content wrap.

remove_action( 'gallery_before_main_content', 'shutter_output_content_wrapper', 10);
remove_action( 'gallery_after_main_content', 'shutter_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);

add_action( 'gallery_before_main_content', 'shutter_custom_wrapper', 10);
add_action( 'gallery_after_main_content', 'shutter_custom_wrapper_end', 10);

function shutter_custom_wrapper() { ?>
	<div id="content">
		<div id="main">
<?php }

function shutter_custom_wrapper_end() { ?>
		</div>
	</div>
<?php }

Remove Sidebar

Add this to your functions.php file in your theme to remove the sidebar from your Shutter galleries, post, pages, etc.

remove_action( 'shutter_sidebar', 'shutter_get_sidebar', 10);

Other Customizations

If you’d like to move the content from the bottom to above a gallery add the following to your theme’s function.php:

remove_action( 'shutter_before_single_gallery', 'shutter_show_gallery', 20);
add_action( 'shutter_after_single_gallery', 'shutter_show_gallery', 20);
