New image source: RSS/Atom feeds:

Semi-dedicated support for the following image sources, using RSS:

Any site can become an image source if it has a feed with images in it!

Link RSS images to their permalink or image itself (RSS Reader mode RSS Gallery mode basically)

It takes account the EXIF date of the image. If you have just uploaded an image, but it has an old EXIF date, it won’t be the most recent image – this may not be the desired result! So you have the ability to choose display recent images just by their upload date (NG 1. The ng_pics shortcode attribute was checked for NG2 compatibility and got improved to actually display the images in the order they are entered (as comma separated multiple ids) – the single (one) image feature is unaffected by this. The ng_random_images now accepts a comma separated list of multiple gallery ids to allow random images from multiple galleries. This is useful for sorting by gallery Title A-Z when displaying multiple albums together (next changelog entry) or in the Overview album (all galleries) mode. ID can be used to sort gallery/subalbum creation order. NG2 copies the image to WP media library so it works well. Added: Using Recent Posts feature, when Click on thumbnail link to an image (lightbox image gallery of posts), a permalink can be placed in lightbox as a way to go to the parent post (similar to Flickr, Instagram, RSS backlinks in the lightbox)

WooCommerce; Media Library Assistant custom image taxonomies… Buttons and the Tag cloud are well styleable.New feature: Facebook overview: Allows you to select the entire collection of albums of a profile page automatically and explore those albums on a different page – all using Justified Image Grid

Like an image on Facebook and see its own thumbnail

They only work with Justified Image Grid as there are server-side components to the new feature

Improved: Custom link target VIDEO is now called “Lightbox: video / iframe / another image”

Also when using NextGEN as an image source even though the original NextGEN doesn’t support Jetpack Photon

Added: An image is added to the source, resized at 300×300, to show up as selectable thumbnail (only thumbnail in some cases), when liking/sharing

Improved: The setting overlay_gallery_max changed from 30 to 300 in prettyPhoto to make sure the overlay gallery shows up when required

Added: Ability to automatically exclude featured image from the gallery (use the word feature in the exclude field)

Added: Ability to use random image order with: NextGEN, Facebook, Flickr

Improved: Social Gallery V2 compatibility

Bugfix: Fixed a browser crash due to scrollbar appearing and disappearing due to constantly varying gallery height (very rare case but serious)

6. Spectrum Gallery Plugin

featured image

Spectrum is a superb JavaScript gallery plugin, which will work with jQuery, as an AMD Module or a browser global. It has support for image cropping, true to proportiimage sizes and perfect image alignment.It is perfect portfolio and gallery website design along with its smooth transitions. Is there an image animation style that is missing? No problem. You could extend image method library by adding your own methods, which could, lets say, rotate an image as it slides into position. Setting up straight away is ridiculously easy, almost every option has a default, the only thing you would need to do is supply the images, and the parent element to which gallery is appended to. And i mean minimal, the only piece of wordpress recent posts HTML code required to make spectrum work is a single tag, that being the element on which to create the gallery. All the little things like gallery and image creation is handled by the plugin, you only have to specify the url for each image. What you will be left with is a beautiful gallery which fits perfectly all its images. Spectrum can handle multiple tags being searched at the same time, it can also do other magic with tags, such add an “all” tag, which can also be any text you desire, you can also tell Spectrum which tag to start the gallery on. Also Spectrum can map to the size of its parent element, so if you have implemented responsive design, whenever a different device views the page, the gallery will change size if its parent element changes size. Be it using new curves, image specific animation, or entire compositions that orchestrate the moment of the gallery.Gallery Cover –

Spectrum hcool gallery cover option, which allows you to use a single image, as the cover of the gallery. This can be useful when used as a loading screen whilst your gallery images load in the background, and can be set to swipe away as soon as they have loaded.Image Binding

Spectrum has an api which allows you to bind to any kind of event that may happen on any of gallery images.
