Installation & Usage
Installing the plugin is easy: upload it via the WordPress admin panel and activate it. It will automatically enhance default WordPress galleries without requiring any additional settings or code modifications. Just create a gallery as usual and enjoy the improved visuals.
In-View Fake Loading Animation
The plugin introduces a smooth fake loading effect for gallery images. As the user scrolls down, images only appear “loaded” when they actually enter the viewport. This adds a dynamic and visually appealing user experience, especially on pages with many images.
Fancybox Lightbox Integration
The plugin seamlessly integrates Fancybox (version 3.5.7) for a modern lightbox experience. When clicking on an image, it opens in an elegant modal window with darkened background and gallery navigation controls, perfect for showcasing media in a polished way.
Clean HTML Markup
It replaces the default WordPress gallery output with a cleaner structure. All images are wrapped in a single <div class="gallery">
container, making it easier to style and interact with using CSS or JavaScript.
Compatibility & Extensibility
This plugin is designed to affect only the native WordPress galleries. It does not interfere with other gallery plugins like Envira Gallery or NextGEN Gallery. You can safely use it alongside those plugins without conflict.
