Description
3pika Gallery lets you build beautiful, fast, filterable galleries in minutes:
- Create galleries from the 3pika Gallery menu, add images from the Media Library, drag & drop to reorder.
- Filters: create categories with their own colors, assign images (bulk assign supported) and let visitors filter with one click. Unlimited filters, 8 filter styles (buttons, pills, square, soft, outline, underline, text, dropdown) and 6 mobile layouts.
- Layouts: Grid, Mosaic and List.
- Responsive columns: 1 to 6 columns on desktop, tablet and mobile are calculated automatically (or set them yourself).
- Lightbox with swipe, keyboard navigation, captions and counter.
- Pagination: page numbers or “Load more”.
- Hover effects and hover icons, captions on hover or below, corner radius per corner, gaps, accent color.
- Works everywhere: shortcode, Elementor widget, WPBakery element, Gutenberg block, Classic Editor button, PHP template tag.
- 85 languages: the plugin follows the language of your site.
- No jQuery on the front end, assets load only on pages with a gallery, server-side rendered HTML (SEO friendly).
