Flexible gallery editions for WordPress
SimpLy Gallery PLUS and SimpLy Gallery PRO are paid editions of SimpLy Gallery Blocks for creating responsive galleries, albums, sliders, and lightbox experiences in the WordPress block editor. Both editions build on the plugin’s mixed-media workflow, which can combine images, self-hosted HTML5 video, audio, YouTube, Vimeo, and VideoPress items.
The editions are suited to photographers, visual artists, agencies, educators, publishers, WooCommerce stores, and other sites that need more presentation choices or more structured ways to assemble media collections.
PLUS: more layouts and visual control
SimpLy Gallery PLUS focuses on additional layouts and visual customization. Alongside the core gallery blocks, it adds Portfolio, Showcase, TagsBox, List, Split Carousel, Horizon, Accordion, and Diamond blocks.
These options support different presentation styles for portfolios, catalogs, project pages, event collections, and media-rich articles. The block editor workflow lets site owners select a gallery type and adjust its available visual controls while working within WordPress.
- Use Portfolio or Showcase layouts for visual projects and presentations.
- Apply List, TagsBox, or Accordion layouts to structured media collections.
- Choose Split Carousel, Horizon, or Diamond layouts for alternative gallery presentations.
- Combine images, video, audio, and external video items in supported galleries.
PRO: dynamic gallery sources
SimpLy Gallery PRO includes the PLUS features and adds dynamic gallery sources. These sources can build galleries and collections from SimpLy folders, YouTube, Vimeo, WooCommerce, FileBird, Media Library Assistant, and other supported sources.
PRO is useful for larger media libraries and workflows where galleries should be assembled from organized content rather than created as one-time static selections. Selected SimpLy folders can provide folder-based sources that update automatically instead of remaining a fixed snapshot.
Mixed media and reusable content
The underlying plugin includes eight WordPress gallery blocks, including Masonry, Justified, Grid, Slider or Carousel, Viewer, Albums, Album Navigator, and Saved SimpLy Gallery. It also provides saved galleries, reusable shortcodes, album pages, Tags Filter, a built-in lightbox, and SimpLy Media Assistant for organizing and reusing WordPress media.
Self-hosted video items can use the video poster generator, which lets you select a video frame as the item’s featured image. YouTube and Vimeo galleries use lightweight playback with one active video embed at a time. Gallery output includes static fallback HTML for media visibility, and the plugin uses standard WordPress media sizes without creating extra image copies.
Practical workflow
Create or select media in the WordPress block editor, organize items with SimpLy folders and tags, and choose the gallery block or saved gallery structure that fits the page. PLUS users can refine the presentation with additional layouts. PRO users can connect supported dynamic sources when collections need to draw from folders, services, stores, or media-management tools.
Albums provide a visitor-friendly way to group saved galleries, while the lightbox can also manage native WordPress Image and Gallery blocks, linked images, and SimpLy galleries.
Installation
Install the selected SimpLy Gallery edition in WordPress, then add its gallery blocks through the block editor. Configure the available media, layout, lightbox, folder, or dynamic-source settings for your workflow. PRO users can select a supported dynamic source when creating a gallery or collection.
