Album Gallery Pro

Album Gallery Pro and Album Gallery Premium organize WordPress media into collections visitors can browse in a responsive grid. Add uploaded pictures, YouTube or Vimeo videos by URL, or both. Insert an album with a shortcode, a Gutenberg block, or the Elementor Page Builder widget.

Choose media and layout

Create a collection in the admin panel, add its media, choose a column layout and cover picture, then publish it. The grid adjusts to desktop, tablet, and phone screens. Stack and overlay hover effects change how cover images appear, while pulse and fade entrance animations add movement as content loads. Skeleton loaders appear during loading.

The local lightbox opens media in a pop-up viewer with touch navigation for images. The Pro lightbox adds zoom, full-screen viewing, and social-sharing buttons. Styles and scripts load from your website's server, and the plugin description reports no external tracking.

Ways to show albums

Place an individual album shortcode in a page or post, or insert the collection through Gutenberg or Elementor while building a layout. A global shortcode displays all albums with pagination. Category shortcodes display selected album categories, which visitors can filter.

Options for larger collections

• Use AJAX Load More with infinite scrolling or a button to load more galleries.
• Give each image its own direct link.
• Group media into filterable categories and display selected categories with a custom shortcode.

These settings fit photo collections for vacations, events, or product catalogs, as well as video playlists and mixed-media albums.

Installation and setup

In the WordPress admin dashboard, open Plugins > Add New, search for Album Gallery, then install and activate it. Navigate to Album Gallery, choose Add New, add photos or video URLs, configure the collection, and publish. Copy its shortcode into a page or post, or use the Gutenberg block or Elementor widget. For broader displays, use the global or category shortcode options available in the Pro and Premium editions.
