WP-Admin: Add images and documents (gallery + PDF)

Watch this video tutorial where it is explained how to add a new property from the admin backend. Watch Video on Youtube

In WP-Admin → Properties → Edit Property, open the tab Property Media & Documents.

This section manages both:

  • property gallery images
  • PDF documents

Use the button Upload new file (Image or pdf) to attach files.

How to add images and documents

  • Upload new files from your computer
  • Select existing files from the Media Library

Supported formats:

  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • WEBP
  • PDF

Can the same image be used for multiple properties?

Yes. You can select existing images from the Media Library and reuse them across multiple properties.

There is no restriction that limits an image to a single property.

Featured image vs gallery images

  • Featured Image is the main property image used in listings and previews
  • Gallery images are added in Property Media & Documents

The featured image may appear first in sliders depending on settings, but it is managed separately.

How to reorder gallery images

  1. Edit the property
  2. Open Property Media & Documents
  3. Drag and drop images to change their order
  4. Update the property

Caption for images in WP-Admin

Image captions are managed from the WordPress Media attachment settings for each image.

If a caption is added to an image, that caption may be displayed by the theme in property galleries or sliders, depending on the property page layout and media settings.

How to add a caption to an image

  1. Edit the property
  2. Open Property Media & Documents
  3. Click the pencil icon on the image you want to edit
  4. The WordPress media editor will open
  5. Add text in the Caption field
  6. Save the media changes
  7. Update the property

How to remove a caption from an image

  1. Edit the property
  2. Open Property Media & Documents
  3. Click the pencil icon on the image
  4. Delete the text from the Caption field
  5. Save the media changes
  6. Update the property

If you want no caption to appear on the property page, the Caption field must be left empty.

Note: Sometimes images may already include title or caption information before upload. WordPress can import that information into the media attachment details. For this reason, it is a good idea to check the image Caption field after upload and remove any unwanted text if needed.

How PDF documents work

PDF files are uploaded in the same section as images.

  • Images appear in gallery and lightbox
  • PDFs appear as downloadable document links

PDF files are not shown as gallery slides.
