Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This simple plugin brings the WordPress gallery to a higher level by adding a nice justified image grid and a pretty lightbox.

Just install and activate the plugin. That’s all.

Create galleries as before, but enjoy the responsive layout, beautiful justified image grid and handy lightbox.

I love the native WordPress gallery. It’s easy to use and as intuitive as possible. Everything would be perfect if it were not for the column layout and lack of lightbox.

Many themes display the WordPress gallery in an ugly and “no eye-catching” way. This was my inspiration to write this simple plugin.

Features

  • Easy to use. You can use the native WordPress gallery just as you did before
  • Compatibility with Gutenberg. You can use block called Justified Gallery
  • Beautiful, justified layout thanks to Justified Gallery by Miro
  • Support of image descriptions. Descriptions can also be turned off on a settings page
  • Lightbox. The gallery can be viewed with popular PhotoSwipe by Dmitry Semenov
  • Responsiveness. The gallery adapts to various screen width options. It works perfectly on mobile devices
  • High quality images. The URL of images is tailored to the needs in an intelligent way. Smaller images will be download on smaller screens, larger images on larger screens
  • Justify your images without cropping them
  • Configurable. You can set up a width of the gap between images and height of rows.

How to use?

If you are using the block-editor on your site, simply insert the Justified Gallery block and add images. You can also transform Gallery block to Justified Gallery block.

If you are still using the Classic Editor, Justified Gallery is based on native WordPress galleries ( [gallery] shortcode) and works out of the box. Create galleries as before. Read more about The WordPress Gallery
