Questions

1. How can I add images to the Photo Gallery

Adding images to photo gallery is pretty straight forward. On the left menu select Photo Gallery > Add Galleries/Images > Add new.
The standard gallery is designed for including both regular images, as well as media from social networking websites, such as Flickr, Instagram and etc.

Name. Specify the name of the gallery.
Slug. Specify the alias in your website for the gallery.
Type. Choose the Mixed type.
Description. Fill in the information you would like to share with the gallery. The description will be visible with some of the gallery views.
Author. This indicates the author of the gallery. It automatically includes the name of the logged in user, who has added the gallery.
Published. Choose whether to publish the gallery or to leave it for the further publication.
Preview image. Indicate the image which will be used to preview the gallery. If you leave it blank, it will automatically pick the first uploaded images included in the gallery.

You can add photos by clicking Add Images button.
Photo Gallery plugin is using both standard WordPress Media Library, as well as a Photo Gallery File Manager. You can either click on Media Library button (in advance enabling it from General Options section of the Options menu) and select images to be imported into the Photo Gallery File Manager or click on Upload files and upload the desired images from another location. After uploading images you should mark them and press Add button.

Instead of uploading images you can embed images/videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Flickr (only images) and Dailymotion.
The following buttons do not work with the Embedded images- Crop, Resize and Reset. In addition you cannot add Watermark over the Embedded imaged.
Here are the standards for adding embedded videos/images:
Images
Instagram: http://instagram.com/p/ykvv0puS4u, if you want to add the image together with the post, you can add _post at the end of the URL.
Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sui-fong/15250186998/in/gallery-flickr-72157648726328108/
Videos
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa4RLje-yM8
Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/8110647
Dailymotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xexaq0_frank-sinatra-strangers-in-the-nigh_music

Bulk Embed. This option will allow adding more than one images from specific social media (currently only Instagram account, but more options will be added with the upcoming updates) into the standard gallery. You should keep in mind that the images will be added without the possibility of auto-update.
Instagram user. Set the name of the Instagram user without additional symbols, e.g. jaredleto.
Number of recent instagram posts to add to gallery. Specify the number of images you want to add from the stated Instagram account.
Instagram embed type. Choose to use only the image content of the Instagram post or the entire post.

2. I can’t upload more images to galleries. Media uploader keeps loading.

The problem might be due to the large number of pictures in the main directory of Photo Gallery image uploader. If you already have heavy amount of uploaded images, please try to group them in separate folders.

Take a note, that importing images with WordPress default Media Library can get into a conflict. You can try to disable that option and enable it only when you need to import images to Photo Gallery from there
