Divi Gallery Load More Button
A while ago we did a tutorial on adding a load more button to the Divi Blog module, and now we are back with a very similar tutorial for the Divi Gallery module. This does just how it sounds. You can start with a few images, and a button will appear below the gallery to click and another row(s) of images will show. In this tutorial I will show you how to load more images with a load more button in the Divi Gallery module!

1. Add A Gallery Module And CSS Class
Add A Gallery Module
Start by adding the Divi Gallery module to your layout.Â
Add A Custom CSS Class To The Gallery Module
We need to add a custom CSS class to the Divi Gallery module. Using a custom class like this will make sure that our jQuery code only affects the module with this class, rather than affecting other Gallery modules on your site.
Open the Divi Gallery module settings and go to the Advanced tab and open the CSS ID & Classes toggle. From there, copy and paste or write “pa-gallery-load-more” into the CSS Class input field, as shown in the screenshot.
Make Sure Pagination Is Off
For obvious reasons, the Show Pagination option in the Elements toggle needs to be off in the module for our load more button to work, so just double check that it is disabled.
2. Add A Button And CSS ID
Add A Button Module Below The Gallery Module
We are going to use a regular Divi button module for the load more button. This is great because it allows you to style it however you want with normal Divi settings. The only important thing is to add the button directly below the gallery module in your layout.Â
Add A Custom CSS ID To The Button Module
Next, we need to add a custom CSS ID to the Divi Button module. This is needed to properly link the button and the gallery together. Take note that this is an ID, not a class.
Open the Divi Button module settings and go to the Advanced tab and open the CSS ID & Classes toggle. From there, copy and paste or write “pa_load_more” into the CSS ID input field, as shown in the screenshot.
3. Add The jQuery Snippet
Now that you have added the custom CSS class and ID to the modules, you can proceed to copy and paste the snippet below into your website, and your image gallery feed will have a functioning load more button!
Where To Add The Code Snippets
If you are using our free Divi child theme, place this snippet into the scripts.js file and remove the <script> tags at the beginning and end. Otherwise, place this in your Divi>Theme Options>Integrations tab in the “Add code to the < head > of your blog” code area.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
//For mobile Screens
if (window.matchMedia('(max-width: 767px)').matches) {
var initial_show_images = 2;
var images_reveal = 2;
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not( ":nth-child(-n+"+initial_show_images+")" ).css("display","none");
jQuery("#pa_load_more").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
initial_show_images = initial_show_images + images_reveal;
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").css("display","block");
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not( ":nth-child(-n+"+initial_show_images+")" ).css("display","none");
var images_num = jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not('[style*="display: block"]').length
if(images_num == 0){
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
}
})
} else {
//For desktop Screens
var initial_row_show = 4;
var row_reveal = 4;
var total_images = jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").length;
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not( ":nth-child(-n+"+initial_row_show+")" ).css("display","none");
jQuery("#pa_load_more").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
initial_row_show = initial_row_show + row_reveal;
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").css("display","block");
jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not( ":nth-child(-n+"+initial_row_show+")" ).css("display","none");
var images_num = jQuery(".pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item").not('[style*="display: block"]').length
if(images_num == 0){
jQuery(this).css("display","none");
}
})
}
})
</script>In the above jQuery snippet there are four values where initial_show_images and images_reveal are for mobile screens and initial_row_show and row_reveal are for desktop screens. Changing these values will change the number of images that will be visible on page load, and how many images will be revealed each time you click the load more button.
4. Add A CSS Snippet
One last thing, we need to add some CSS to adjust the grid of images after clicking the load more button.
If you are using our free Divi child theme, place this snippet into the style.css file. Otherwise, place this in your Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS code box. If you need help, check out our complete guide on Where To Add Custom Code In Divi.
/*adjust the gallery grid items after clicking the load more button*/
@media all and (max-width:980px) and (min-width: 767px) {
.pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item:nth-child(3n) {
margin-right: 0 !important;
}
}
@media all and (min-width:981px) {
.pa-gallery-load-more .et_pb_gallery_item:nth-child(4n) {
margin-right: 0 !important;
}
