Do you want to bulk edit the photos on your WordPress site? Sometimes you may need to modify multiple images to save your time from doing it one by one. In this tutorial, we will share how to select and edit multiple images in WordPress.
The default WordPress image gallery doesn’t allow you to edit multiple photos. The best way to display your photos is to create an image gallery on your site. We recommend you to use Envira Gallery plugin as it lets you edit multiple images without any hassle and comes with tons of other features.
To select and edit multiple images in WordPress, you’ll need to follow these 5 steps:
