Those images are then displayed on the front end using the `[lnsel_gallery]` shortcode — with a smooth lightbox, keyboard navigation, touch swipe support, and a choice of Grid or Masonry layout. **Key Features:** * 📷 Custom “Post Gallery Images” meta box on every post/page edit screen * 🖼 Drag-and-drop image reordering in the editor * ⚡ Choose between **Grid** (uniform tiles) or **Masonry** (Pinterest-style) layout * 🔍 Built-in lightbox with arrow navigation, keyboard ( Esc), and touch swipe * 📱 Fully responsive — 4 3 2 1 columns at breakpoints * 🙈 Gallery section is **completely hidden** when no images are uploaded * 🔌 Works with Elementor via the Shortcode widget * No jQuery dependency on the front end — pure vanilla JS ### Usage **Basic:** [lnsel_gallery] **Grid layout, 3 columns:** [lnsel_gallery layout=”grid” columns=”3″] **Masonry layout, 3 columns:** [lnsel_gallery layout=”masonry” columns=”3″] **All available attributes:** * `layout` — `grid` or `masonry` (default: `grid`) * `columns` — `2`, `3`, or `4` (default: `3`) * `size` — `thumbnail`, `medium`, `large`, or `full` (default: `large`) * `gap` — gap between images in px, number only (default: `10`) ## Screenshots [⌊The "Post Gallery Images" meta box in the WordPress post editor.⌉⌊The "Post Gallery Images" meta box in the WordPress post editor.⌉[ The “Post Gallery Images” meta box in the WordPress post editor. ## Installation 1. Upload the `lnsel-post-gallery-lightbox` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Edit any post or page — you will see a **“📷 Post Gallery Images”** meta box below the content editor. 4. Click **“Add / Edit Images”** to select one or more images from your Media Library. 5. Add the shortcode `[lnsel_gallery]` to your post content or to an Elementor **Shortcode widget**. ## FAQ ### The gallery section does not appear on my post. Make sure you have added at least one image in the **“📷 Post Gallery Images”** meta box on the post edit screen, then also added the `[lnsel_gallery]` shortcode to your post content or Elementor template. The section is intentionally hidden when no images are uploaded. ### Can I use this with Elementor? Yes. Add an Elementor **Shortcode** widget and paste `[lnsel_gallery]` into it. ### What is the difference between Grid and Masonry? **Grid** displays all images at a fixed 4:3 aspect ratio in uniform rows. **Masonry** preserves each image’s natural height, creating a Pinterest-style staggered layout using CSS columns — no JavaScript library required. ### Can I set a different gallery for each post? Yes. Each post or page has its own independent gallery managed through the meta box. ### Does this work without Elementor? Yes. The shortcode works in the Gutenberg block editor via a Shortcode block, or in the Classic Editor. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Lnsel Post Gallery Lightbox” is open source software.
