I have spoken about plogger before. It is what I am currently using for my gallery area.

I am now going to go over some simple instructions on how to make plogger look like your WordPress theme, like I have.

Step 1
Download Plogger and extract the files.

Step 2
Upload files to a folder on your site, I put mine in /gallery to make things easy.

Step 3
Install Plogger as is given in the instructions that come with the software.

To install, upload all of the files in the Plogger distribution to your Web server. Then, run the _install.php script from the Web browser of your choice. That script should guide you through the rest of the installation process.

Step 4
Open Plogger’s index.php file.
Inside you should find some basic code. We are only really concerned with three important lines.
require("gallery.php");
the_gallery_head(); ?>
the_gallery();

These lines are what runs Plogger and these are what need to be integrated into a new index.php file.

Step 5
With whatever theme you are currently running, copy/download and then open the head.php and index.php files. These are going to be merged into the index.php file for Plogger.

For the theme I use, blix, I went to /wp-content/themes/blix/ and copied the head.php and index.php files to my computer.

Step 6
Create a new file. We are going to name this index.php. This will be our new Plogger index that we are going to make.

Step 7
On the first line put:
<?php require('../wp-blog-header.php');

This will tell the new index.php file to head up one folder to grab wp-blog-header.php, a very important file.

If for some reason you installed Plogger somewhere else you will need to have the relative path so that the require will work. i.e. if Plogger was installed in /images/gallery you would need to change the code to:
<?php require('../../wp-blog-header.php');
So that it would go up two directories and grab wp-blog-header.php.

Step 8
On line two put:
require("gallery.php"); ?>

This is one of three files needed to run Plogger.

Step 9
After those two lines, copy in your header.php file from your template.

Step 10
Before the </head> put:
<?php the_gallery_head(); ?>

This is the second of the three files needed to run Plogger.

Step 11
Now after where you copied in your header file, copy in your theme’s index.php file.

Step 12
In a section that has your post information (usually contained in a div that might be div class=”entry” or div class=”post”) delete all of what is contained in that div and replace it with:
<?php the_gallery(); ?>

This is the final part of the Plogger code.

Step 13
Save your new index.php and upload it to where you installed Plogger. So for me, I uploaded it to /gallery.

Step 14
Take a look and see if it worked.

The main overview of this tutorial is to basically make a template file to replace index.php in Plogger that has the same code as your current theme, and includes the three files for Plogger to run, where Plogger needs them to be.

If you have any problems or questions, let me know. Also, if I have made any errors let me know. This tutorial was made based on my personal experiences integrating plogger into a variety of sites.
