FooGallery is compatible with Gutenberg. The WordPress block editor is now part of the WordPress core. While you can still use the classic editor with WordPress, it is likely that this will fall away after a while. So if you’re not already using Gutenberg, it won’t be to be too long before you are. Luckily for you, FooGallery works with Gutenberg, giving you a live preview of the gallery in the editor itself. As Gutenberg has such a strong emphasis on visual composition, seeing your gallery in the post will be a huge advantage. The live preview will help you … Read more…
Today we’re excited to announce that FooGallery Pro now includes the ability to create video galleries with YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia and more including self-hosted videos.
Actually, FooGallery has always supported the creation of video galleries through the use of an extension named FooVideo. As we wrote about here, it made more sense for our users and our business to merge the features and benefits of FooVideo into our FooGallery Pro plugin and has now happened.

By far, the number one request was for us to create an easy way to create video galleries in FooGallery.

FooGallery and FooVideo together … Read more…
FooGallery Free and FooGallery PRO both come with hover effects for your thumbnails. You can put these to good use on your image galleries; here’s how. Hover Effects and How They’re Handy The Hover Effect is the animation that appears when you hover over a thumbnail in your image gallery.

More than that, though, it can provide additional information. With FooGallery’s hover effects you can add an icon to encourage your visitors to click on or … Read more…

WordPress comes standard with its own media and gallery options, but it’s a good idea to use a WordPress Gallery Plugin nonetheless. The WordPress Gallery option When loading posts or pages to your site, WordPress gives you the option to add media.

When someone clicks on your thumbnails on your blog post or site, a bigger image will appear … Read more…
