This plugin creates picture galleries from a folder. 
The pictures folder must be uploaded (using FTP) somewhere on the server (e.g. wp-content/upload). It must be writable (chmod 777).
Folder Gallery Plugin does not include any lightbox JS engine anymore. You have to install one or use a compatible lightbox plugin. See FAQ.
To include a gallery in a post or a page, you have to use the following shortcode :
<pre><code>[foldergallery folder="local_path_to_folder" title="Gallery title"]
</code></pre>
For each gallery, a subfolder cache_[width]x[height] is created inside the pictures folder when the page is accessed for the first time.
An Options page allow to set the default paramaters of the galleries :
<ul>
<li>Lightbox JS Engine: Lightbox 2 (if installed), Fancybox 2 (if installed), Fancybox 3 (if installed), Lightview 3 (if installed), Easy Fancybox Plugin (if available), Responsive Lightbox Plugin (if available) or none (default)</li>
