Plugin Description
RPS Image Gallery enhances the core WordPress gallery function by dynamically adjusting the column count based on viewport width and enabling an image in the gallery to either invoke a slideshow or link to another page, post or any URL. The link and link target are specified in the image’s Edit Media screen using the Gallery Link URL and Gallery Link Target fields. When an image having a Gallery Link URL is clicked, the user will be directed to that location. Images linking elsewhere are automatically excluded from the slideshow – clicking the image will not invoke the slideshow but will call the specified Gallery Link URL.
In addition, RPS Image Gallery combines attachments from multiple posts or pages into a single gallery, enables the use of paging – useful for galleries with a large number of images, and provides the ability to link a gallery image to the post to which it is attached.
