FAQs ## Frequently Asked Questions Answers to common questions about creating galerries from posts and other sources. ### What is a Post Query Gallery?+ A Post Query Gallery populates FooGallery with featured images from WordPress posts instead of manually selected images. Post Query can be used as a gallery datasource, linking back to posts or other content on your site. ### What do you mean by a gallery datasource? + FooGallery can create galleries from other sources, like the post query, media tags, categories, server folders and so on. It is also possible to create galleries from 3rd party plugins, such as Infinite Uploads, WP/LR Sync and WooCommerce. This creates a dynamic gallery, which refreshes as the datasource is updated. ### Why use a datasource to create a gallery?+ Using a datasource to generate your gallery makes it simpler to maintain; any updates you make to tags, posts, WooCommerce products, etc. will automatically reflect in your galleries. This not only saves you time, but ensures galleries are current, and don’t require manual updating. ### Is this a Pro feature? + Yes, dynamic galleries are available in FooGallery PRO Expert and PRO Commerce. The WooCommerce datasource is only available in the Commerce plan, while all others are included in PRO Expert and Pro Commerce.
