Choose a responsive grid (1–6 columns) or switch a gallery into a slider/carousel with a single setting — no extra effort required. Every gallery ships with an accessible lightbox, native lazy loading, a shortcode, and a Gutenberg block. Built for performance: assets load only on pages that actually contain a gallery, the frontend uses pure vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery), and gallery data is stored in post meta — no custom database tables. #### Key Features * Unlimited galleries, managed in a dedicated, clutter-free admin * Responsive grid layout with separate column counts for desktop, tablet, and mobile( 1–6 columns) * Built-in slider / carousel mode — show one image or several at once, with a per- device “Slides to Show” setting * Slider controls: autoplay, autoplay speed, loop, slide/fade transitions, plus keyboard, touch-swipe, and mouse-drag navigation * Navigation dots with selectable position (over the slider or below it) and a custom color * Customizable previous / next arrow color * Aspect-ratio options — Original (uncropped) or 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 3:2 * Image fit (cover or contain), rounded corners, and hover effects (zoom, lift, grayscale, brighten) * Adjustable horizontal and vertical spacing between images * Modern, accessible lightbox — previous/next, close, ESC, click-outside, image counter, thumbnail strip, optional slideshow button, keyboard navigation, focus trapping, and swipe * Native lazy loading with no layout shift * Drag-and-drop image reordering with per-image captions * Shortcode, Gutenberg block (live preview), and a Classic/TinyMCE insert button * Optional lightbox for normal post/page content images * One-click gallery duplication * Translation ready (ships with a Japanese translation) * Accessibility first: ARIA labels, focus states, screen-reader friendly controls, and reduced-motion support * Clean uninstall — removes its galleries, meta, and options #### Performance * No jQuery dependency on the frontend * Vanilla JavaScript only, with minified assets * Assets load only when a gallery is present on the page * Data stored in post meta — no custom database tables and no unnecessary queries #### About Artclick Artclick Gallery Lite is built and maintained by Artclick. * Japan: https://artclick.jp/ * Global: https://artclickdev.com/ ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Artclick Gallery Display an Artclick gallery (grid or slider) with lightbox. ## Installation 1. Upload the `artclick-gallery-lite` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Artclick Gallery Add New Gallery**. 4. Add images, choose your layout (Grid or Slider) and settings, then publish. 5. Copy the shortcode shown on the edit screen, or insert the **Artclick Gallery** block. ## FAQ ### How do I make a slider instead of a grid? Edit a gallery, open **Gallery Settings**, and set **Layout Mode** to **Slider / Carousel**. You can enable autoplay, looping, dots, arrows, and the transition style. You can also force slider mode for a single placement with the shortcode attribute` layout="slider"`. ### Can I show more than one image at a time in the slider? Yes. In the Slider settings, use **Slides to Show** to set how many images are visible at once — separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile — to create a multi-item carousel. ### Can I change the slider arrow color? Yes. The Slider settings include an **Arrow Color** picker for the previous/next arrows. ### How do visitors move between slides? Several ways: the previous / next arrows, the navigation dots, left/right arrow keys, touch-swipe on mobile, and click-and-drag with the mouse on desktop. You can also place the dots over the slider or below it and pick their color in the Slider settings. ### How do I use a shortcode? Use `[artclick_gallery id="123"]`, replacing `123` with your gallery ID (shown on the gallery edit screen). Optional attributes override the saved settings: * `columns` — 1 to 6 * `layout` — `grid` or `slider` * `spacing` — `small`, `medium`, or `large` * `lightbox` — `1` or `0` * `captions` — `1` or `0` Example: `[artclick_gallery id="123" layout="slider" lightbox="1"]` ### Can normal images in my posts open in the lightbox? Yes. Go to **Artclick Gallery Settings** and enable **Content Images Lightbox**. Any image in your post/page content that links to its full-size file will then open in the Artclick lightbox. ### Does it use jQuery on the frontend? No. The frontend is 100% vanilla JavaScript. ### Where is gallery data stored? In post meta on the `artclick_gallery` custom post type. No custom database tables are created. ### Is it accessible? Yes. The lightbox and slider support keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA roles/labels, and respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Artclick Gallery Lite” is open source software.
