Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading and Publishing New Cases to the RM Gallery

1. Access Your RM Website’s WordPress Dashboard

• Log in to your website using your administrator credentials.

2. Prepare Your Case Images

• Gather Media: Collect high-quality case images. Ensure they are well-lit, in focus, and appropriately sized for web display (no larger than 1000px in width and 1000px in height).
• Image Optimization:
  • Resize Images: Ensure case images are appropriately sized for category use. You can compare with other cases in the category you’re adding to.
  • Compress Images: Reduce file sizes without sacrificing quality to improve page load speed. We recommend using ImageOptim.

3. Add Cases to the RM Gallery

• Navigate to RM Gallery: In the left-hand menu, click on “RM Gallery” > “Cases” then “Add New Case.”
• Leave Title Field Blank: This will automatically populate as “Case-1234” once you publish.
• Add “View Name” To Your First Image Set: Traditionally the first image set is named “front” and can be verified by viewing other published cases.
• Select Before Image File: Click the “Choose File” button beneath the “Before Image” column and from the popup choose the first (front) view before image from your computer and click “Open.”
• Select After Image File: Click the “Choose File” button beneath the “After Image” column and from the popup choose the first (front) view after image from your computer and click “Open.”
• Add New Image Set: If you have additional image sets to add you can click the “Add New Image Set” button and repeat the above 3 steps for each set.
  1. Additional image sets should be named based on their view angle or simply numbered.
  2. To remove an image set click the red x on the right.
  3. To move an image set click and drag on the three horizontal lines on the left.
• Add Case Details: In the ‘Editor’ add case details and description. Refer to other cases for specifics.
• Dynamic Settings: If your gallery has any dynamic case settings this is where you would set them, such as assigning the case to a practitioner.
• Publish: Once you’ve added all case images and details, click “Publish”.

4. Add to Existing Category (or Create a New Gallery Category)

• Option 1: Add to Existing Category
  • If you have an existing gallery category for the case being added, you can attach it in the righthand side meta box “Category.
  • You can select multiple categories.
  • Once checked it will automatically add to the category. No need to click update or refresh the page.
• Option 2: Create New Category
  • Click “Categories” and then “Add New RMG Category.”
  • Add a category title and click “Publish.”

5. Arrange and Edit the Case Order

• Drag and Drop: Reorder the cases in each gallery category by dragging and dropping them into the desired sequence from Category view.

6. View the Case!

Open New Browser Window: Navigate to your site’s gallery and click on the modified category to check your new case live on your website.
