Gallery Block by Galleryberg: Lightbox with Tiles, Masonry, Square, & Justified Layouts

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 170 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Thanks for not having over-featured block. It is enough, not too much. Perfect! I just have one or two issues. The “BUY PRO” In Gallery block settings, it is too agresive. I won’t use this on my client’s page because of this, it is ok to have the menu element with buy pro, but AD in the Editor above “Advanced” is a bit … ugly practice. Again, THIS ALONE was a reason why I did not use this block. Icon, I really don’t like custom color icons, as If I add third party blocks I end up with messy rainbow-ish editor icons. This is not great for UX perespective. This topic was modified 5 months, 4 weeks ago by Isu.

   I love what I’m seeing so far. I have been looking for a lightweight gallery plugin that has masonry layouts for a long time. Too many of the other options are bloated by features that most people don’t need. This plugin has just what I need.

   Installed the free version of this plugin on multiple WordPress websites and it works great. If you are using default Gutenberg to create your website then you can try using this plugin to create image galleries.

   This is a very nice plugin that is very well integrated with Gutenberg (using the native gallery editor, much better than e.g. Qi Blocks). Good work! My only request would be an option to control the gap size between images (it is easy to override it using custom CSS though, for the time being).

   As a full-time blogger, I create lots of content and use hundreds of images on my blog every month. This plugin has been a game-changer for me. It’s so easy to use, as I can simply add the Galleryberg Gallery block to any post or page. It works like a charm. Highly recommended!
