• Thanks for the nice work on this plug-in! Its the little gems like these that make WordPress great.

    I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to only show the caption when hovering over the image.

    This was an option in the old-style WordPress galleries, but has not reappeared yet in gutenberg. I think it would be a great option in many situations, especially for big captions, and/or small images.

    Thanks for the suggestion @idekogel. I’ve recorded it on GitHub to explore it further and see what I can do.

    Great! Thanks for your reply

    I’ve been looking around a bit for some ideas. I’ll list some of the things I came across and liked:

    1. Fading in (lazy load). Masonry gallery doesn’t really work well with the Jetpack lazy load option. I like the way cargocollective.com handles it. Subtly fading in when scrolling down the gallery. (example: https://roniahn.com)

    2. Randomly spaced gallery. Cargocollective also has an option to add a random effect to a gallery, a bit like a masonry grid but with more spacing and random sizes. I like how it breaks the grid, and makes the gallery a bit more playful. example (https://claralarosa.com)

    3. Custom shapes. Found this page (https://bennettfeely.com/clippy/) It’s nice to give the images in the gallery different shapes with custom CSS (Already works with block gallery but maybe nice to directly implement it).

    4. For the captions, besides the “show caption on hover option” I also think a caption below the image instead of on top of the image would be a nice option to have.

    I’d like to second the ‘caption’ option.
    Would be very handy to show the caption (if not also somehow the Description Data) that’s attached to the media.
    Thanks

    Showing captions on hover would be really wonderful.

    Great plugin! +1 for the captions please
