How to implement a gallery on WordPress with your own design?

Question

PHP

There was a following problem. The site has a gallery in the form of a regular HTML code tc-com.com/gallery It is required to add the ability to add photos to the gallery in the site admin panel. I thought about doing a simple scan of a folder with images, but the client needed to have a division into albums.
Hence the question arises. What is the best way to realize this possibility? Maybe write your own plugin? Maybe there are easier ways?

Answer 1

From the standard gallery VP you can get a list of pictures get_post_gallery you can make your own post type, type 1 post - an album and calmly display it as you need, or you can use NextGEN Gallery

Answer 2

A cloud of ready-made plugins does not suit you?
For current images, you can also write a script that will fill in according to the laws of the plugin
