Fotohog for Elementor

A custom WordPress plugin that adds a Polaroid-style photo stack widget for Elementor.

Overview

Fotohog for Elementor adds a visual widget where images can be displayed as:

  • a stacked pile of photos
  • a stack that expands into a grid on hover
  • an always-on grid

The widget supports captions, lightbox, custom links, dark card theme, grayscale modes, proximity tilt effects, and smart hover autoscaling to keep the grid inside its container.

Features

  • Elementor widget: Fotohog
  • Polaroid-style photo cards
  • Display modes:
    • Stack only
    • Stack to grid on hover
    • Grid only
  • Per-photo settings:
    • custom caption
    • click action (None, Open lightbox, Open URL)
  • Light/Dark card theme
  • Optional texture card surface with one or more PNG backgrounds
  • Image color modes:
    • Normal static
    • Black and white static
    • Black and white to color
    • Color to black and white
  • Mouse proximity bend effect (desktop)
  • Hover-grid auto-scale to fit container
    • minimum scale option
    • easing option
  • Mobile responsiveness with touch-friendly fallbacks
  • Legacy gallery fallback support

  • PHP 7.4+

  3. Configure style settings:
  • photo width
