I need a photo uploader for a WordPress web site...can you suggest one?

October 2, 2015 3:38 PM

The photo uploader I had used for my site has closed. It resized in three sizes. Now I need a new one.

I use mac, wordpress for my site. I have used turbo and imagebam, but they often carry malware if a reader clicks to enlarge. I would like to upload photos that form horizontal (row) lineup, as:
XXX
XXX

using Image Shack, I can resize but the pics can only display one atop the other:
X
X
X

I believe WordPress can arrange as I would like but I do not know how to use it for this. I am not very smart on code, web things.
Any uploader that is easy to use and meets my need?

What's the reason that you don't use the built-in one?

You can use WordPress's built-in media uploader & gallery option. Then add the Responsive lightbox plugin or something similar so that you get an image that opens in a modal window when you click.

You could also put the images at Flickr and simply embed them in the site. There are numerous Flickr plug-ins for Wordpress, or you can simply cut and paste the embed code from Flickr. There may even be a share to Wordpress button on Flickr. It's been a few years since I used Wordpress.
