WordPress Gallery Plugins

pgallery

For anyone who uses WordPress as their blogging platform, there arises a need for an effective and working Gallery plugin at some point of time. If you are a photo blogger, the need for Gallery plugins is even higher. Although, after the release of WordPress versions 2.5+, a gallery feature has been integrated into WordPress, where once you upload some images on a post or a page, WordPress allows you to insert that group as an image gallery into your post or page.

In spite of this fact, sometimes using a plugin is much more efficient because not all WordPress themes contain CSS styling for the gallery feature and also, some plugins make your galleries visually better and much more accessible. So, in order to save the trouble of browsing through different gallery plugins on the Internet, I have compiled a list of the 10 best WordPress Gallery plugins. I have also inserted a poll under this post, where you can rate the listed plugins and help other users to make a better choice.

NextGen Gallery Plugin

nextgen-gallery

The famous NextGen Gallery is a full integrated Image Gallery plugin for WordPress with a Flash slideshow option. Features include custom templates, AJAX thumbnail generator, sortable Albums, Zip file uploads, Watermark function, Lightbox Effects, Sidebar Widget, Flash Goodies and much more.

FlippingBook Gallery Plugin

FlippingBook Wordpress Gallery is an excellent way of working with images in blogs. You download photos, and the plugin creates a small photo gallery out of them. If you need to post several pictures, you don’t have to make large posts. Being joint together, pictures can be put in a beautiful Flash album-book and don’t take up much space. It’s very convenient to look through the pictures, leafing through the pages. You just have to double-click to print images out. This is a real interactive book which is nice and easy to use when you turn its pages.

    Just fyi,

    There are two that have not been mentioned: “gallery and caption” and “jquery native”. These both update the existing wp gallery rather than supplant it. Transitions are sexy. gallery and caption adds the ability to theme wp caption images and do things similar to inline gallery (multiple galleries per post).

  3. @urban art:-
    Not automatically, but you can achieve what you want using custom fields in NextGEN Gallery. I managed to create “page galleries” using this technique.

  6. Some good ones here that I’ve never seen before. I’m trying to find one that pulls in images from posts automatically, and the image links to the post when clicked. Shouldn’t be hard to find but it is… Thanks for this list!
