Horizontal flow

Horizontal flow shows images in horizontal rows, resizing them so all images in a row have equal height without ridiculous cropping. Especially helpful when you use both portrait and landscape images at the same gallery. Ideal for presenting your photographs and really close to the way images are presented by Flickr.

Vertical flow

Vertical flow distributes your images in an equal width columns without cropping them. Works great for portrait photography or other cases when most of images are vertical.

Classic grid

For some cases, classic grid layout is best – like logos, dribbble shots, so on. Awesome Gallery supports it too!

Image sources supported:

• Flickr user photo streams, favorites and photo sets.
• Instagram user streams, and “following” streams. Please note, that full Instagram integration require you to have Instagram app approved by Instagram and out of “sandbox” mode. By default, only 20 images are displayed
• Facebook user photos, albums or public page streams / albums.
• WordPress posts WordPress posts of any type and featured / attached images, including images from “Media”
• WooCommerce productsWooCommerce products are just posts of “product” type, so you can use them as image source.

How to install

The recommended and easy way

1. Download a plugin file from CodeCanyon.
2. Log into your WordPress admin area.
3. Go to “Plugins”, click “Add new” link at the top.
4. Click “upload”, choose a file downloaded in the file selector field and submit the form.
5. Click “activate”
6. Check for updates (new versions are released to auto-updates mechanism slightly sooner than they are approved by CodeCanyon).
7. Build your galleries. It is strongly recommended to disable caching plugins while building your galleries – out of sync issues are really strange and hard to fix.

Installation, second way:

1. Download a plugin file from CodeCanyon.
2. Unzip the plugin archive.
3. Open your FTP client of choise, upload the folder unzipped to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins folder. Make sure you did not add an extra folder hierarchy and plugin .php files are right at wp-content/plugins/awesome-gallery folder.
4. Log into WordPress admin area, go to “Plugins”, find “Awesome Gallery”, click “activate”.
5. Check for updates (new versions are released to auto-updates mechanism slightly sooner than they are approved by CodeCanyon).
6. Build your galleries. It is strongly recommended to disable caching plugins while building your galleries – out of sync issues are really strange and hard to fix.

The best Support ever

Outstanding support is not just a buzzword for me. Awesome gallery is packed with a built-in support request feature which allows me to gather all the technical information required to resolve the problem if any. And I am carefully gathering the support statistics to find solutions for repeatable problems.

It is best to use the plugin’s builtin support feature, but if you want – you can leave a comment at the comments tab, or drop me a direct message – I am happy to help all the time.
