AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Cleaner Gallery is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Gallery category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 23 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Cleaner Gallery works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin was written to take care of the invalid HTML that WordPress produces when using the [gallery] shortcode.
It does a bit more than that though. It will integrate with many Lightbox-type scripts and allow you to do much cooler things with your galleries. Plus, it has a couple of extra options that you can play around with.
Features
Uses HTML5 <fig> and <figcaption> elements.
Integrates with Schema.org microdata.
Uses the aria-describedby attribute to make images + captions more accessible to users with disabilities.
Validates the invalid code that WordPress spits out.
Several options on how you want your gallery images.
Allows multiple galleries in a single post.
Ability to set the number of images shown in each gallery.
Ability to exclude or include any images from your gallery.
Doesn’t load any extra CSS or JavaScript unless you choose to do so.
