Image Gallery Custom Post Type vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

Image Gallery Custom Post Type helps you build galleries that fit your site. Styles apply only to your gallery output, and scripts load when needed so pages stay light. What you get Galleries — Add galleries under Galleries in the admin. Pick images from the Media Library, drag to reorder, and use the featured image when you like. Look and feel — Choose layout, columns, colors, and whether to show titles and captions. Save settings per gallery or use Galleries → Settings for new galleries. Shortcode — Place [show_gallery_img id="123"] on any page or post to show one gallery (replace 123 with your gallery ID). You can copy the shortcode from the gallery edit screen. Lightbox — Visitors can open images in a viewer with previous and next. Free — Grid and Listing layouts; up to 20 images per gallery. Pro — Adds Mosaic, Showcase, and Carousel, and up to 100 images per gallery. Pro is a separate Image Gallery Pro add-on plugin you install alongside this one (ZIP from your purchase or seller). How to get Pro (pay, install, use) Pay — Complete your purchase using the PayPal payment link sent to you by the seller (for example in an email, on their product page, or in your order confirmation). Follow PayPal until the payment is finished. Receive the add-on — After payment, the seller will send you the Image Gallery Pro add-on (usually a ZIP file by email or a download link). Keep that file safe. Install — In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the Pro ZIP, install it, then activate Image Gallery Pro (Add-on). Keep the free Image Gallery Custom Post Type plugin active too. Use Pro — Edit a gallery and choose Mosaic, Showcase, or Carousel under Appearance → Layout, or open Galleries → Settings for defaults. Copy the shortcode to your pages as usual. The free plugin also shows Upload Pro add-on and Plugins shortcuts in the gallery sidebar and under Galleries → Settings so you can reach the upload screen quickly. Need help? If something does not work after payment or install, contact the plugin support or the seller using the email or support channel they gave you (receipt, product page, or WordPress.org support forum for the free plugin). Tip (Donate) A Donate link may appear in the admin to support ongoing development. You do not need your own website for it to work.
