New Feature! (1.4)

Now you can add titles to the thumbnails. If you don't want to add a title to the thumbnail, leave this field blank...

If you are using a gallery in a small area (widgets), titles may not appear...

Go to Gallery Page

After adding your gallery items, you can go to the related gallery page with clicking "Go to gallery" link or you can click on "Galleries" menu to see all available galleries.

Use the Shortcode

Now you can add this gallery to any page or post with the gallery shortcode which is on the gallery's page. You can change column number of the grid and resolutions of the thumbnails. Default column number is 4 and default thumbnail resolution is 300x300 px.

Hint: You can select thumbnail resolution according to column number. For bigger column numbers, use smaller images for better performance.

For example if you select 2 columns, you should select 600x600 px resolution for better display. If you select 5 columns, you should select smaller image resolution for better page loading performance.

You can also view, edit or delete gallery items directly from edit gallery page.

Filter Menu

You can create filterable galleries with filter menu feature. To use this feature, you should add filters during adding or editing an item.

Adding a filter menu

If you want to add a filter menu to your gallery, you can use "Filters" shortcode. There is a "add a filter menu" icon on your text editor. Click on it. Sample filter menu code will be added your page.

If you want to add shortcodes manually, I recommend you to use "Text mode" of the text editor.

You should add your filters like the following structure;

[filters galleryid="1"]
[filter]Living Room[/filter]
[filter]Bedroom[/filter]
[filter]Bathroom[/filter]
[filter]Office[/filter]
[/filters]

Using multiple filters

To add multiple filters to a page, change the "galleryid" value of the "filters" with the related grid gallery id.

[filters galleryid="1"]
[filter]Living Room[/filter]
[filter]Bedroom[/filter]
[filter]Bathroom[/filter]
[filter]Office[/filter]
[/filters]
[gridgallery id="1"]

        
[filters galleryid="2"]
[filter]Images[/filter]
[filter]Videos[/filter]
[filter]Links[/filter]
[/filters]
[gridgallery id="2"]

Displaying all filters

Add only 1 filter into each [filter] shortcode and be careful when adding words. They must be the same as your filters. You can view,edit or delete filters at Filters page.
