Abstrengin Gallery
A lightweight WordPress image gallery plugin with multiple layouts, hover effects, and a smooth lightbox — no bloat, no paywalls, no unnecessary dependencies.
Why This Plugin?
Most gallery plugins are overloaded with features you'll never use, nag you with upsells, and slow down your site. Abstrengin Gallery was purposefully built for simplicity: pick a layout, add your images, and you're done.
Features
- Three layouts — 16:9 thumbnails grid, masonry, and mosaic
- Lightbox — fullscreen image viewer with keyboard, touch, and arrow navigation
- Hover effects — subtle zoom, dim, and overlay with magnifying glass icon
- Gutenberg block — select and preview galleries directly in the block editor
- Shortcode — [abstrengingallery id="123"] with optional layout/columns/gap overrides
- Drag-to-reorder — sort images visually in the admin
- Responsive — adapts to tablet and mobile breakpoints automatically
- Zero external dependencies — vanilla JS, no jQuery, no third-party libraries
