Description
Denkon Image Gallery lets you create and display polished image galleries without duplicate uploads, custom database tables, external services, or third-party front-end libraries.
Gallery images remain standard WordPress media attachments. Gallery configuration is stored in post meta and can be displayed using the included Gutenberg block or shortcode.
Features included in the free version:
- Create unlimited galleries from the WordPress Media Library.
- Drag and drop image ordering in the gallery editor.
- Grid, Masonry, and ImageBrowser layouts.
- Responsive columns, card ratio, crop, spacing, and WordPress image size settings.
- ImageBrowser carousel with thumbnail navigation and keyboard-accessible lightbox.
- Pagination for Grid and Masonry galleries.
- Captions sourced from WordPress attachment captions.
- Dynamic Gutenberg block with per-page display overrides.
- Shortcode support:
[denkon_gallery id="123"]. - English interface by default and Russian interface for Russian WordPress admin locales.
The plugin does not connect to external servers, collect analytics, create user accounts, or transmit personal data. All included code and assets are original Denkon assets and are distributed under GPLv2 or later.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin create a separate image library or duplicate uploaded images?
-
No. It uses WordPress attachments from the native Media Library and stores only the ordered attachment IDs in gallery post meta.
-
Can I override a gallery setting on one page only?
-
Yes. The Gutenberg block and shortcode attributes override the saved gallery defaults only where they are explicitly set.
-
ImageBrowser is a carousel. It needs every gallery item available for next/previous navigation, so pagination is intentionally disabled for that layout.
-
What happens when the plugin is deleted?
-
Gallery posts and their settings are retained by default. This prevents content referenced by blocks and shortcodes from disappearing unexpectedly. You can remove gallery posts manually from the Galleries screen when they are no longer needed.
