Step 1: Upload Your Images
Before you can put your pictures side by side, you need to upload them to your WordPress media library. You can do this by going to Media > Add New and selecting the images you want to upload. Once uploaded, make note of the file names or URLs.
Step 2: Insert Your Images
Next, you’ll need to insert your images into your WordPress post or page. You can do this by clicking on the Add Media button in the post or page editor. Select the images you want to insert and click on the Insert into post button.
Step 3: Add Image Classes
In order to put your pictures side by side, you’ll need to add some custom CSS classes to your images. You can do this by clicking on each image and selecting the Edit option. In the Image Details screen, scroll down to the Advanced Options section and add the following classes to the CSS Class field:
- alignleft – to align the image to the left
- alignright – to align the image to the right
- aligncenter – to center the image
Step 4: Add Custom CSS
Once you’ve added the image classes, you’ll need to add some custom CSS to your WordPress theme. You can do this by going to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and adding the following code:
.alignleft { float: left; margin-right: 20px; } .alignright { float: right; margin-left: 20px; } This code will align your images to the left or right and add a margin between them.
Step 5: Preview Your Changes
Once you’ve added the image classes and custom CSS, you can preview your changes by publishing or updating your post or page. Your images should now be aligned side by side.
