Widget areas are great opportunities to stimulate content discovery on your site. The featured image gallery widget makes this process visual, automatically showing the featured images for all of the posts on a given view (archives, taxonomy terms, etc.) in one place. The widget is only displayed on views with multiple posts, and uses the same styling as the core gallery widget.

Follow & contribute to this plugin on <a href="https://github.com/rocket-galleries/rocket-galleries" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>.
The modern, straight forward interface is built to fit right into the WordPress admin area. It’s built to feel like native WordPress functionality, not a plugin, which is great for impressing clients and instantly feeling familiar with the plugin’s admin area. Simple, just the way we like it.
Rocket Galleries is also developer friendly. We’ve made it easy to integrate the plugin with your theme by including a template loader. This allows you to create your own gallery templates and use your own HTML, CSS and Javascript easily. We’ve also included dozens of filters and actions within the plugin’s code, allowing you to hook into the core and create your own Rocket Galleries extensions. The possibilities are limitless!
Last but not least, Rocket Galleries is a very new plugin, so we look forward to your feedback. Over the next couple of months we’re hoping to rapidly develop it’s functionality, so feel free to use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/rocketgalleries/" rel="ugc">Support Forums</a> to make feature suggestions and feedback.
