Build organized WordPress galleries
Gallery Pro is a paid edition of Gallery by BestWebSoft for creating and presenting image galleries in WordPress. It includes the free features for building unlimited galleries, albums, images, and categories, then adds advanced layout, lightbox, image, social, and configuration controls.
The plugin is suited to photographers, artists, bloggers, and businesses that need a structured way to present images. Galleries can be organized into categories and albums, while images can be added from the WordPress media library. Responsive design helps galleries display across devices, and the interface is intended for setup without coding.
Layouts and gallery presentation
Gallery Pro adds Grid and Masonry layouts to the available album presentation options. You can display image text under images or on mouse hover, giving you control over how supporting information appears without removing the visual focus from the gallery.
Gallery and image sorting options are also included. Images can be sorted by attachment ID, image name, date, gallery order, or randomly, with ascending or descending order available. Galleries can be sorted by gallery ID, title, date, last modified date, comment count, author, or randomly. Galleries can also be sorted within categories.
Lightbox and image controls
Pro+ provides lightbox configuration options for image size, background color, and background transparency. Helper options can add buttons and thumbnails to the lightbox. You can add descriptions and buttons with URLs inside the lightbox, select the target attribute for external URLs, and use single-gallery pagination.
Image presentation can be refined with crop position controls for horizontal and vertical alignment. The paid edition also supports watermarking with either text or an image, along with image optimization. These tools can help you present gallery content consistently across a larger collection.
Engagement and configuration
Social Like button integration is available for Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. You can configure galleries individually or globally, customize the gallery item slug, and use network multisite support and configuration. The plugin also supports comments on galleries, descriptions for albums, full-size slideshow display, custom border width and color, and any image file format.
Other included features cover a latest galleries widget with customizable title, button text and link, number of displayed galleries, and hover color effect. Gallery categories can be shown as a dropdown, with gallery counts and hierarchy. Demo data can be installed and deleted, and the plugin can integrate with the Slider Plugin.
Installation and workflow
Install Gallery Pro in WordPress, activate it, and use the plugin settings to create galleries, albums, categories, and images. Add images from the media library, choose a layout, arrange sorting, and configure lightbox or gallery-specific settings. Descriptions, links, buttons, watermarks, and social controls can then be applied according to the needs of each gallery.
Documentation, tutorial videos, and installation instructions are available. Gallery Pro also provides multilingual and RTL support, plus priority support with a response within one business day according to the stated support policy.
