Since the beginning of this year 2022, we’ve used different photo and video gallery WordPress plugins for our customers’ projects. Some of the clients wanted to use free plugins, and some of them were ready to pay extra money to get more features and options for their galleries.
A WordPress plugins repository contains a lot of different plugins but we would like to pay your attention to plugin #1 we finally use for all our customers’ projects. It’s called GT3 Photo & Video Gallery, you can download its free version here: GT3 Photo Video Gallery.
Let’s talk about the advantages of this plugin, especially for the free version.
- It’s very important to keep the plugins used in WordPress websites up to date in order to avoid any compatibility or security issues. The developers of this plugin release regular updates and it’s great. The plugin supports the latest PHP and is compatible with all the most popular plugins available on WordPress.org.
- The plugin code is very lite and it works really fast. The core code (according to the developer’s logs) is always updated and optimized, which means that it meets WP standards.
- The plugin has an intuitive gallery options panel where you can set the global settings for all the galleries.
- It’s fully compatible with Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, and Divi (has some limits) builders. It looks really awesome in Gutenberg and Elementor. The custom blocks and widgets have custom settings for each gallery. Choose the desired gallery, add the images and that’s all.
- This photo gallery plugin also supports video galleries. You can add Youtube and Vimeo videos to the gallery. Self-hosted and other video file formats are supported in the Pro version. Copy a video URL and put it in the gallery.
