How To Put Multiple Image Galleries In A Single Post?

Is there a way to place multiple image galleries in a single post?

Please note that:

  1. I would only like to use WordPress’ built-in gallery function, and not something else, like NextGen gallery.

  2. I know that I can group images in a post using or , but the thing is, when the user goes to the attachments page (after clicking a thumbnail in the image gallery in a post), all the images are together. I would like to have two completely different galleries in a single post.

  3. I know that I can create two pages, add the two sets of images that I have, and then add the two image galleries in a post using

    and . I do NOT want to do this, as pages are not meant for this (unless, of course, there’s no way around).

  4. There are plugins that claim to do this, but most of them:

    • Only group images, like I mentioned in point (2).

    • Others have been developed at least 6 months ago, and the questions by users in the support forums are left unanswered by the plugin authors. So, they are a no-go for me.

Is there at all a way to post multiple image galleries in a single post? It would be awesome if there’s. Thanks.

No, because galleries are defined as being all the images attached to a single Post. Therefore one Post cannot have multiple galleries because that goes against the definition of what a “gallery” is.

Your method #3 will be as close as you can get, however you don’t have to use Pages specifically. You can use Posts to separate galleries as well.
