Title: Shortcode suggestion Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Shortcode suggestion * Resolved [weigertj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weigertj/) * (@weigertj) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/) * Hello, * I’d like to use Nextcellent Gallery for my blog images as it seems to be a convenient solution when I have around 50 images in a single post. But then I have to type the “singlepic” shortcode 50 times. * Is it possible that you create a new shortcode, that will place the content of a gallery into a post as individual pictures, like “singlepic”? I wouldn’t have to tpye “singlepic” 50 times. The images could be sorted according to their id number or the way they are sorted in the gallery, etc. The shortcode could give an option for all these variables. * My problem when I store my images in the default WordPress media library: – there is no folder system – when I upload an image to WordPress, it generates too many different sizes of it. When I upload a 200K image, it will require around 1 MB and it is way too much. I used to manually delete the sizes I don’t need but it’s quite complicated and not really safe. * Thanks for looking into these options… * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [niknetniko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niknetniko/) * (@niknetniko) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/#post-6297683) * We won’t add another shortcode, since you can do this with the existing template system. I have made an example template that should do what you want. Follow these steps: 1. Make a folder ngg_styles inside wp-content if it does not exist already. 2. Download the template from: [https://bitbucket.org/snippets/niknetniko/ekXLX](https://bitbucket.org/snippets/niknetniko/ekXLX) 3. Put the template inside the ngg_styles folder. 4. Use this as a shortcode: [nggallery id=X template=single] * Thread Starter [weigertj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weigertj/) * (@weigertj) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/#post-6297702) * Thank you, this sounds really great and I will try it soon! * Thread Starter [weigertj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weigertj/) * (@weigertj) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/#post-6297721) * I’ve just tried it and it works flawlessly, thanks again! * Thread Starter [weigertj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weigertj/) * (@weigertj) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/#post-6297731) * Topic resolved. * [anna-blume](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anna-blume/) * (@anna-blume) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-suggestion-1/#post-6297767) * Thank you very much from me too.
