Which free gallery plugins meets the following requirements?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I need a gallery plugin that does the following for free:

    • has an easy and intuitive way to organize 4000 photos into categories -> subcategories -> subcategories -> etc. -> galleries kind of structure
    • autogenerates pages based on (sub)category/gallery titles, e.g. pages starting from /gallery and ending at /gallery/food/fruits/bananas – with some reasonably modern styling
    • works well with standard WordPress search or some search plugin, e.g. by typing “banana” I’d expect both the gallery and all photos from that gallery to appear as results
    • has Gutenberg block for statically displaying gallery images, preferably with some setting for limit, order etc.

    Optionally:

    • has Gutenberg slider kind of block that can pull chosen/random images
    • can be integrated with WooCommerce

    Any recommendations?

    Hi @destroy666x

    At this time, we aren’t able to recommend a specific plugin, but you’re very welcome to explore available options through your WordPress.com dashboard or the plugin directory. You can learn how to install and manage plugins here:

    If your goal is to organize a large collection of images with nested categories, one approach available on WordPress.com is to create category pages and manually add galleries within each section using the Gallery Block. This provides a flexible way to group images and control how they’re displayed. You can learn more about setting up a gallery using this guide:
    https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/gallery-block/create-a-gallery/

    This approach allows you to create your own structure, such as /gallery/food/fruits/bananas, and still take advantage of WordPress.com’s built-in search and block options: https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/

    Let me know if you have other questions.
