CloudFold Lite helps WordPress site owners and editors create image galleries, organize the Media Library, and publish polished frontend gallery experiences without adding a heavy frontend dependency.<\/p>\n\n
CloudFold is a TopHive product. CloudFold Lite is the official WordPress.org edition maintained by TopHive from the official CloudFold domain at https:\/\/cloudfold.io\/.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin focuses on practical media workflows:<\/p>\n\n
[cloudfold_gallery id=\"123\"]<\/code> shortcode.<\/li>\n- Insert galleries with Gutenberg blocks.<\/li>\n
- Organize media into folders for faster editing workflows.<\/li>\n
- Choose gallery layouts such as Masonry, Grid, and Justified.<\/li>\n
- Use the built-in zero-dependency lightbox for responsive image viewing.<\/li>\n
- Edit image metadata such as alt text, captions, descriptions, link targets, tags, and focal point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Gallery Layouts<\/h4>\n\n
CloudFold Lite includes flexible layouts for common publishing needs:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Masonry for mixed image heights.<\/li>\n
- Grid for predictable equal tiles.<\/li>\n
- Justified for balanced rows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Media Organization<\/h4>\n\n
CloudFold Lite adds a folder-based media workflow to help editors group uploads, filter assets, and find images faster.<\/p>\n\n
Gutenberg Blocks<\/h4>\n\n
Use CloudFold blocks inside the WordPress block editor to insert galleries and related media components with a native editing experience.<\/p>\n\n
Lightbox<\/h4>\n\n
The frontend lightbox is built without jQuery and supports responsive image viewing, captions, keyboard navigation, and gallery controls.<\/p>\n\n
Privacy<\/h4>\n\n
CloudFold Lite does not send site content, media metadata, visitor information, or usage data to a CloudFold-owned server.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin uses standard WordPress admin requests and REST API routes on the same site to save galleries, folders, settings, and media metadata. No third-party service is required for the Lite features described here.<\/p>\n\n
