What This Plugin Does
This plugin lets you build galleries with filters. Users click a button to see one category. For example, they can pick „Web Design“ to only see that work. This saves them from scrolling through many images.
You manage filters on one easy page. Create a filter once and use it on any image or video. This keeps your gallery neat and easy to manage.
