Is there anyway to have users log into gallery2 instead of logging into wordpress and then going to gallery? I have a bunch of gallery users and need a way to not recreate those users in wordpress, unless theres a easy way of doing it. Thanks

So long as their user name is the same in Gallery2 and Wordpress, they can already exist in Gallery2 before being created in WordPress. Then when you grant them Gallery2 User or Gallery2 Admin status under the "Gallery2 Users" tab in WordPress, they'll be mapped across the two apps.

Bottom line is the user can log into either app, and so long as their user name is the same between the two apps, it doesn't matter which one they're logged into. They can still use Gallery2 as themselves whether it's directly through Gallery2 or using an embedded Gallery2 through WordPress.
