Descripción
WordPress has come a long way to be a fully featured content editor system, but the default gallery does not keep up with it. And while there are many plugins with various features, I did not find a small and simple one putting the focus on enlarged images.
PhotoSwipe is a great basis and thus core component of my th23 Gallery plugin, which replaces the WordPress default to output galleries into a way containing all key information required while maintaining a simple and easy markup.
th23 Gallery is built with some few goals in mind:
- Unintrusive way to focus on images
- Leveraging PhotoSwipe / Lightbox-like overlay
- Navigation between images in all galleries in a post via intuitive swipe, keyboard or mouse activity
- Compatibile with modern blocks and legacy shortcodes
- Simple markup and styling for thumbnail preview images (polaroid-style)
- Plain styling for medium / large preview images allowing for theme based style
- Minimized footprint on page loading
Usage
th23 Gallery works out-of-the-box and does not require any special handling – right after activation all embedded galleries will use PhotoSwipe to enlarge pictures.
Note: Polaroid-style works only on galleries which have set the preview image size to Thumbnail
Note: Previously inserted galleries might require a review to ensure link to media file and preview image size are set to work as expected – especially when also using the plugin on legacy [gallery] shortcodes.
Instalación
Upload extracted files to your wp-content/plugins directory
No options required – install, activate, enjoy 🙂
Only optional setting is the option to define a default preview image size for new galleries via the Settings / Media page in the admin panel
Note: There is a known inconsistency in core WP not showing this default correctly in new galleries – but it is taken correctly upon saving/including the gallery and upon further edits as well
Preguntas frecuentes
-
What is shown as image caption? How can I influence this text?
-
Image subtitle in lightbox is image caption (defined in gallery), image description (as in the media library) or image title (as in the media library) – in this order, whatever is given first
-
Can you provide options to change x, y or z behaviour in PhotoSwipe?
-
Yes, I could, but this plugin is supposed to be simple – in case you want many individual customization options, have a look at this open source alternative by Arno Welzel
