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 the image itself (RSS Reader mode or RSS Gallery mode basically)

It takes into 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 to wordpress display recent posts 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. The ID can be used to sort gallery/subalbum creation order. NG2 copies the image to the WP media library so it works well. Added: Using Recent Posts feature, when Click on a thumbnail link to an image (lightbox image gallery of posts), a permalink can be placed in the lightbox as a way to go to the parent post (similar to Flickr, Instagram, RSS backlinks in the lightbox)

Added: Ability to show larger image in the lightbox from Facebook (normal: 720px max, larger: the new default, maximum: up to 4MP – 2048px)

Examples: Post and WP image tags and categories; NextGEN, Instagram and Flickr tags, Custom post types’ custom taxonomies e. 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 or 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

Added: Option to display NextGEN gallery/album descriptions between the breadcrumb and the grid

Higher than 1024px pictures are now taken into account when looking for an image to create the thumbnail from.Bugfix: Error checking wasn’t working on IE8 in some cases, resulting false positives and not loading any image, this is now fixed.Bugfix: Error checking for images slideshow weren’t working properly, resulting in duplicate images and a broken grid if one image failed to load.Bugfix: PHP Fatal error when NextGEN is uninstalled and still trying to show NextGEN content, is now replaced with a friendly error message (NextGEN gallery is not installed/inactive!).Bugfix: When using Jetpack and CURL is required to get remote image dimensions, check for CURL is added to not generate an error

Bugfix: The class gallery-caption is no longer added to the parent container of JIG when Carousel and Load More features are used together (preventing Carousel when clicking outside a thumbnail is now solved in an other way)

center one image with JIG, in a post. All in all this means you can tag WP images, just like NextGEN, and display a gallery based on the tag.Improved: Recent post images can link to the custom url of the image! (toggleable new setting)

Bugfix: The Social Gallery’s latest version is recognized in the shortcode editor properly

Added: Take over gallery shortcode – choose between hiding the original WordPress gallery shortcode, replacing it automatically or leaving it alone

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

Bugfix: SocialGallery bugs – update to at least Social Gallery version 2.Bugfix: The image for Facebook crawler (the first image, resized to 300×300) had no width and height attributes when Jetpack Photon was enabled

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

Social Gallery doesn’t support HTML (links to the file to download)

Improved: Image can be linked to the attachment page (new lightbox and recents_link_to setting)

Improved: NextGEN album and gallery dropdown selectors now include the ID id the shortcode editor

Improved: Class name justified-image-grid added for all instances of the plugin

Improved: PhotoSwipe compatibility – added JIG gallery refresh to the close event and tap x event, so you’ll no longer get ‘Element is too thin’ error when coming back from PhotoSwipe

Bugfix: When not using permalinks with NextGEN, galleries will link to the gallery’s own page properly, like original NextGEN – previously only albums did this correctly

call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback’ is no longer showing up when keeping the ‘hidden’ WP gallery present under JIG gallery on older versions of WordPress.Updated: More documentation has been included for using the plugin with nextgen gallery do shortcode

Bugfix: Shortcode editor no longer generates ng_pics undefined when NextGEN gallery is not installed.Added: Magnifier icon in the middle of the overlay (optional) with settings (on/off, image URL, opacity)

Added: Recent posts can link to the images (lightbox) instead of posts – create a image gallery jQuery recent posts, not a slider

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)

Bugfix: Sometimes gallery would be invisible when only one row is present and can’t fill the row.Added: Premium lightboxes – FooBox and Social Gallery (purchased separately), dedicated mutual compatibility
