Wix Photo Albums: Displaying a Single Photo Album

Wix Photo Albums automatically displays all of your albums together. Currently, there is no layout for displaying an individual album within the app. In order to showcase an individual album, create a clickable image that drives your visitors to the album.

First, two quick introductions:

1. Each photo album you create exists as its own site. To have an album appear by itself, you'll need to retrieve that site's URL.

2. Wix Photo Albums has its own media manager that is separate to the Editor's Media Manager. For this reason, it is not possible to add images from your Editor's Media Manager to your new Photo Albums. Learn more
