Mixed Media Gallery Blocks

Description

Blocks

SimpLy Gallery Blocks is a friendly, easy-to-use gallery plugin with advanced options for creating responsive image, video, and audio galleries in multiple layouts, including Slider / Carousel, Masonry, Justified, Grid, and more.

Albums

Combine multiple galleries into a single album with a dedicated splash page. Albums work as gallery collections, allowing you to group related galleries under one entry point.

Each gallery inside an album is loaded dynamically via AJAX and opened in a modal view, so visitors can browse galleries directly from the album splash page without reloading the page, keeping navigation fast and seamless.

Lightbox Plugin

SimpLy Lightbox Plugin easily displays all linked images from a post or page in highly customizable lightbox. Compatible with native WordPress gallery (Block or Classic Editor). Each Post or Page can have a unique lightbox setting.

Flexible gallery building

Mixed Media Gallery Blocks provides a flexible gallery building experience for images, video, and audio. Add media items to your gallery, adjust display settings, and publish galleries using different layouts depending on your content needs.

Transformable gallery layouts

Galleries can be transformed between different layouts such as Masonry, Grid, Justified, and fullscreen views. This allows you to reuse the same gallery content while changing its visual presentation without rebuilding it.

Responsive by design

Gallery layouts are responsive by default and adapt to different screen sizes. Separate styling controls for desktop and mobile help ensure galleries remain usable and visually consistent across devices.

Lightbox experience

The built-in lightbox supports touch gestures, keyboard navigation, and mouse wheel controls. Users can navigate, zoom, and interact with gallery items on both desktop and mobile devices.

The lightbox interface is designed to be familiar and intuitive, making it easy for visitors to browse media content without leaving the page.

Performance-focused

The plugin is designed with performance in mind, using dynamic loading and optimized rendering to keep galleries responsive and pages lightweight.

Does the job well. Can show minimalistic galleries if needed.

This worked for me without any problems, and, on one of the Classic Themes. I usually use block themes, but just decided to play around with a classic theme, and this wonderful gallery was brilliant. Plenty of options for customizing, even in the free version. I will use this on my Block themes now. Thanks for this plugin, it is excellent! xxx

I needed a plug-in that is able to present galleries summarised in albums. SimpLy Gallery is the only one I found that does this and it does it well, easily and efficiently.

!I was trying several galleries but all were either too simple or too complex for my needs. SimpLy Gallery Blocks struck the gold right in the middle for me! My favorite feature: ease of switching between it and native WP gallery, unlike many other popular options.
