# Multiple Galleries per Post/Page

**Update (June 22, 2016)** — This feature is now provided by WordPress by default.

Ever wanted to have multiple galleries on the same post or page? Currently most of the [solutions](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/04/13/cleaner-wordpress-gallery-plugin) require you to manually edit gallery shortcode and add something like `include="img_id_1 img_id2"`. Luckily, WordPress 2.9 will have this *include/exclude feature* built in core, but you still don’t have an easy way to select images which to include or to insert multiple galleries.

Therefore, I created a plugin called Multiple Galleries which adds checkboxes next to images in the *Insert Gallery* window which makes selecting images to be included in galleries fast and easy. If no checkbox is selected, all images are included.

I created this plugin because I am designing a new WordPress theme for designers, artists, architects and all of the creative types where the ability to have multiple galleries per portfolio entry is very important.
