Go to **3pika Gallery Create New Gallery**, add images and filters, save. 4. Paste the shortcode `[3pika_gallery id="123"]` anywhere, or use the Elementor / WPBakery / Gutenberg element. ## FAQ ### Can I override the columns per page? Yes: `[3pika_gallery id="123" columns="4" layout="grid" pagination="loadmore" per_page ="8" filter="nature"]`. ### How do I customise the markup? Copy `templates/gallery.php` to `yourtheme/3pika-gallery/gallery.php`. ### Galleries loaded via AJAX / popups don’t initialise Enable “Always load gallery assets” in 3pika Gallery Settings General, or call` window.TPIKA.init()` after injecting the HTML. ### Do my galleries stay when I switch to Premium? Yes. Premium is installed over the free edition and uses the same galleries and settings. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “3pika Gallery – Filterable Photo Gallery & Lightbox” is open source software.
