11== Description ==
12
13PiwigoPress is a WordPress 2.8 Sidebar Widget that links to the pictures of a Piwigo gallery.
14Thus, a Piwigo gallery with several public pictures in it is a prerequisite to make it work.
15But even if you don't have one yet, you can nonetheless give this plugin a try by using the
16Official Piwigo [demonstration gallery][] before
17setting up your own gallery.
18
19PiwigoPress can display several links to the Piwigo gallery in the sidebars of your WordPress
20blog, all of them being optional: a random thumbnail linking to the corresponding picture page,
21menus directing to all categories defined as public in the gallery, several additional links
22to most recent, most viewed, most commented pictures, and more.
23
24When you've finished testing and want to create you own gallery, go to the Piwigo [download page][],
25where you'll find all the links you might need.
26
27Try "NetInstall" first. If it fails, switch to the "Package" download and follow the full
28installation procedure. Try « pLoader » but in any case, you will find an « Instructions » link
29in your Piwigo gallery administration page.
