How RSS Image Widget works
RSS Image Widget fetches images from any RSS/Atom feed that uses enclosures and displays them in a responsive grid with a built-in lightbox. Works as both a classic widget and a Gutenberg block.
Features:
Widget + Block — Use in sidebars (classic widget) or anywhere in the block editor
Lightweight — No jQuery, no external CDN. Just a tiny vanilla JS lightbox (~2 KB)
Responsive grid — CSS Grid layout adapts to any container width
Lazy loading — Images use native browser lazy loading
Accessible — Lightbox supports keyboard navigation (Escape to close)
Zero configuration — Just add a feed URL and go
Upgrading from v2.x:
The Bootstrap classes (row, col-xs-12) and external Lightbox2 CDN have been replaced with clean semantic HTML, a responsive CSS Grid layout, and a bundled vanilla JS lightbox. If you had custom CSS targeting the old classes, you will need to update it to use the new .rss-image-gallery BEM classes.
