Bento Grid Gallery

Bento Grid Gallery is a lightweight and powerful plugin that adds a new block to the WordPress Gutenberg editor. It allows you to create modern, eye-catching photo galleries without complex configurations, perfect for tourism portals and news articles to avoid classic boring layouts.

Key Features:

• Desktop Layout „Bento Grid“: Displays a dynamic composition with a large main image on the left and a grid of secondary images on the right.
• Mobile Layout: Fully responsive, adapts to your custom column settings.
• Customizable Columns & Height: Manage desktop height, desktop columns, and mobile columns directly from the Gutenberg Inspector Controls.
• Advanced Lightbox: Full-screen image viewing with navigation arrows and a bottom thumbnail strip for quick navigation (visible on both Desktop and Mobile).
• Native Management: Uses the standard WordPress „Edit Gallery“ interface for adding, removing, and reordering photos with native Drag & Drop.
• Performance Optimization: Automatically loads appropriate image sizes (large for main, medium_large for secondary) to ensure fast loading speeds.
• „+X Photos“ Counter: If you upload more images than the visible grid allows, the last thumbnail automatically shows an overlay.
