Creating a Gallery to Showcase Multiple Galleries in Divi
By Divi Dude
F rustrated. That’s how I felt when I first started trying to create multiple galleries in Divi. Sure, there were plenty of Divi tutorials on how to create one gallery. But what I couldn’t find was how to create a gallery that has thumbnails of other galleries. Say for instance you’re a photographer who wants to showcase photos of food, models and landscapes. You’d probably want to separate them into their own galleries and not just display them willy-nilly next to each other … It took me forever to figure out how to use a combination of projects and portfolio in Divi to do this.
A little ways down you’ll find a video describing how to do this. But for those of you who would rather read than watch a video, let me break it down how to create multiple galleries in Divi:
- Create a new project. (not post, not page, but project).
- Insert full row.
- Insert the gallery module. Choose grid as your layout setting.
- Click “Add to Gallery”. Upload your photos. Set the rest of your settings how you would for any gallery. Save & exit.
- Add a new project category, or pick already created category.
- Set the feature image (this will be the image displayed in the thumbnail).
- Make any style changes to your settings module you want.
- Click “Publish” button.
- Add a new page.
- Insert column – Full row.
- Insert the portfolio module. Number of posts = how many galleries you want to include.
- Choose the categories you want to include.
- Choose the rest of the settings you want for the module.
- Save and exit.
- Make final settings to your section module, if you want.
- Publish.

Now it’s quite simple. So simple I created a video to explain how to do it.

For the longest time I used MailChimp. I was drawn to the 2,000 free subscribers.
But when MailChimp changed how they defined subscribers and made some other not so user friendly changes, I started looking for alternatives. Not just for the free tier, but for my paid subscriber lists (I have clients that send out newsletters and they need more bang for the buck than what many free tier offers).

After staying up all night and driving myself crazy, this morning I found your video.
Voila, just like that, in mere minutes, it’s done!
I can’t thank you enough!
I had the same problem figuring it out when Divi first came out. Glad my video helped.
Thanks for sharing this DD!
Another effective option which I used for a client’s site is to use the Blog module in Grid style. Like so:
Create all your single gallery pages as posts using the Gallery Module and assign them all to a category. Ex. Create a category called “Photo Galleries”
Create a page using the Blog Module, use style Grid, and select to display the “Photo Galleries” category above.
Customize the look of your “blog” page as you wish with its myriad options.
You can make your gallery look extremely appealing.
I hope this helps 🙂
Hi,
Thank you for the tutorial, its is very helpful!
Is there anyway to change the order of the galleries in the portfolio?
thanks 🙂
Hi Joanna,
To change the gallery order, you must change the publishing date of your projects. Go to your projects tab and by using the Quick Edit, change the date or time of each one of your projects. The most recent project will be first, then the second most recent second, etc. I usually change the time so there is a 20 minute gap between each one, so I can add other galleries in the future.
This was so helpful, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great! Glad it worked out for you.
OMG! Thank you so much! I too had spent many hours trying to find out how to create more than one gallery on a page in DIVI. I think you should be renamed the DiviKing! :)) Someone needs to write a DIVI for dummies. :))
You are bookmarked! See you soon. LOL
Thanks again

Great. Glad you found it helpful. Don’t forget my YouTube channel 🙂 — https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOS6PQKFzvdnBsUF_Y2Tdvw
Thanks a lot for your tutorial.. was a great help.
Hope we can use ordinary or filterable portfolio.
Now, please let me know if it is possible to open the gallery below the categories (images) – instead of a new (project) page.
Thanks again.
Do you know how to have the category galleries popup in a module light box instead of going to the gallery page?
I’m sorry, I do not.
