I am proud to introduce my next WordPress Plugin, WordPress Gallery Plugin. This is highly customizable plugin was created using Nivo slider which is a jquery slideshow plugin created by dev7studios.

WordPress Gallery Plugin makes it as easy as it could possibly be to create gorgeous sliders for your WordPress powered site. Forget nasty custom fields and image URLs. You can even forget about manually resizing every image before you upload it because wordpress gallery plugin is using timthumb image resize script to auto resize images with dimensions of your choice.

  4. Hello there,

    I am trying to use your [WPG]Shortcode Parameters. I’d like to use serveral slideshows on the same page but each slideshow gotta contain different images. I uploaded my images and I’d like to use you “exclude” shortcode to exclude some images but I don’t succeed to make it work. Can you help me out?

  5. The slide show is showing images full size,but keeping the image window size (800×600), so I only see part of some of the images. Does it not auto scale?

  12. Brilliant plugin! The only thing I want to know is if it’s possible to use the plugin without using the shortcode. I want to place it in the loop manually as it needs to be in different places in the post on different pages.

    1. show me website where you installed this plugin.

      There is one folder inside my “wordpress-gallery-plugin” with ‘cache’ as folder name. Make sure to set ‘777’ as File Permissions to this folder.

  19. I’m running the plugin but my gallery doesn’t appear – I just get the spinning circle as though it’s doing something but nothing appears.

  22. Inside ‘wordpress-gallery-plugin’ folder there is one folder with name ‘cache’ just change file permissions of the folder to 777

  23. Hey, really excited about the plugin, I am just having a problem. I added the [wpg] to my post and have 3 images in my gallery for that post, but when I preview the page, the only thing that shows up is a loading bar.
    I have gone through these comments and saw that you recommend changing the cache permissions to 777, but I cant seem to find where that folder is at. Let me know. Here is my site.
    Any ideas?

    1. Login to your wordpress admin section and visit “WordPress Gallery” options page and set default settings for your gallery. Gallery is not displaying because default options are not set.

  24. Hey, I am having an issue that it seems most people on here have had. I loaded the plug-in, activated it, inserted the [wpg] into my post but when I go to preview it all I can see is the loading symbol. Any thought? It seems like a great plugin that you have made and I am really excited to get it working on my site. Thanks.

    1. Hi Brandon,

      You need to set default values for ALL of the options on the options page. I discovered this by trial and error.

      Cheers,
      Derek

  26. To set the order of the images in the gallery:

    Select the gallery tab from the image upload dialog.

    Sort the images by dragging and dropping.

    Select save changes.

    This was not very apparent to me but it works great once you know how 🙂
