SnapTapGo Gallery
SnapTapGo Gallery connects your WordPress site to your SnapTapGo account in two powerful ways:
1. Live gallery shortcodes — Add one shortcode to any page or post. Manage every photo from your phone. The gallery on your site updates the moment you add, remove, or reorganize photos — no WordPress login needed.
2. Upload to WordPress from your phone — Send photos directly from your phone to your WordPress media library. No desktop, no FTP, no logging into WordPress. Just tap and upload.
How live galleries work
- Create a project in the SnapTapGo app and upload your photos
- Organize photos into named groups (e.g. “Before”, “After”, “Kitchen”, “Deck”)
- Tap Share to get your project link
- Paste the shortcode on any WordPress page — done
The gallery pulls photos live from SnapTapGo and caches them for performance. Groups appear as clearly labeled sections automatically.
How to upload photos from your phone
- Go to Settings in the SnapTapGo app
- Copy your connection token and paste it into Settings → SnapTapGo in WordPress
- Enter your site URL in the SnapTapGo app to connect
- Open any project and tap Upload to Site — photos go straight to your media library
Gallery layouts
- Grid — equal-sized square tiles, responsive columns
- Masonry — natural photo heights, Pinterest-style flow
- Carousel — one photo at a time, swipe-friendly with optional autoplay
- Strip — portrait photos side by side, perfect for project sequences with optional autoplay
All layouts include a full-screen lightbox with navigation arrows, keyboard support, swipe gestures, and a download button.
Great for
- Contractors — show before/after photos on your website. Update from the job site.
- Landscapers & home service pros — build a live portfolio that never goes stale.
- Interior designers — display project rooms as organized, labeled gallery sections.
- Real estate agents — embed property photo galleries without touching the media library.
- Wedding photographers — share galleries with clients via a private link, then publish to your site.
- Anyone — if you take photos on your phone and want them on your website, this is the simplest way.
