Add/attach the same images to post and page
-
I’ve been adding posts to my blog with ~10-40 images each (images are in either the gallery or slideshow format). I now want to add the images from all the posts to a single page (a “Photo” page). Is there a way to use the images already in the Media Library and add them in batch to a page? As stated, these images are already associated with a post (i.e not unattached).
I know I can create the “Photo” page, then add media, then click “Show” on an image and then insert into the post. But this has to be done one image at a time and I will be dealing with hundreds of images. I want a simple way to reuse many images that are in the Media Library.
Thanks for your help!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

My current workaround is to upload all the pictures to flickr and then link to the Flickr slideshow, but this involves uploading the pictures to both wordpress.com and Flickr. I would rather avoid that because I often have slow internet connections.

There’s no way to BATCH insert all the images, but you can go to your Media LIbrary and add them one by one.

You can batch insert them as a series of galleries, by pasting a series of those in the HTML editor:
[gallery id="N"]
Replace N with the id number of each post. To find that, go to Posts, hover over each post title, note number in the status/progress bar of your browser.
To avoid creating a huge page, I would suggest separating each gallery shortcode from the next by using the nextpage tag:
