Add Advanced Filtering To Your WordPress Galleries With FooGallery

Are you trying to add filtering to your WordPress galleries, but you cannot figure out how? FooGallery Pro Expert allows you to add frontend filtering to your photo or image gallery by using media tags or categories. You can choose to keep things simple (like the demo below) or you can add advanced filtering or even multi-level filtering.

All you need to do is assign media tags or media categories to your attachments that are included in the gallery. An easy way to do this is by using the Bulk Taxonomy Manager built into FooGallery PRO Expert.

You can choose to use media tags, or media categories, or any other attachment taxonomy that is added by other plugins.

Advanced Gallery Filtering

You can also get fancy with your gallery filtering if you want, by adding more advanced features like showing the count, changing the opacity and size, based on the number of items allocated to each tag or category. You can also change the filtering selection mode from the standard single to multiple. Below is a demo with the following features:

Multi-level Gallery Filtering

A single level of filtering simply not enough? No problem! You can add multiple levels of filtering to your gallery if you wish. This is particularly useful for large, extensive galleries or just to help visitors sort through your gallery images in different ways.

Much like the simple or advanced filtering, Multi-level Filtering makes use of Media Tags or Categories to create filters. Using the tags or categories, you can set the filters that you want to apply to each level of filtering. On the frontend, you can then filter galleries according to the filters in each of the levels.

Additional settings include the light or dark theme for the filters, and the Single or Multiple (And / Or) filters. The below demo uses three levels of filtering, with the dark theme applied to the filters. You can select a single filter for each level.

Gallery Filtering + Pagination

Filtering and pagination were built to work together. You can have a filtered gallery that also has pagination, as per the demo below:
