<h4>Customized Slider Special Effects</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Special effect: the GB Gallery slider special effect is the main feature for this wordpress plugin. If you go to the “special effect admin”, on your wordpress dashboard you will find that the image you want to work with is divided in to a 100 squares matrix. By clicking on any of the matrix squares, it will receive the number one. The second square you click will receive the number two and so on… these numbers determine in which order the image will be revealed. 
You don’t have to click on all 100 matrix squares. Whatever matrix will be left unclicked the Slideshow gallery plugin will complete it in a default manner top right to bottom left. You can unclick the last square, without it changing the square sequence you made before. If you make further changes it will affect the order of the entire matrix above the chosen box number. It will not affect the order of matrix numbers below. Once you are done don’t forget to click save.

Meow Gallery

Was working well out of the box in my Gutenberg editor, while another Gallery was giving me problems. Simple to use, but well done.

Very useful

I choose this gallery because if the plugin is abandonned, it won’t break every galleries. It’s simple to use with nice options and galleries look good.

Clean and easy gallery


After trying a few other gallery plugins (names omitted to protect the guilty), I tried out Meow Gallery. What I like about it: ease of use, slight learning curve, customizable, and fully functional. I cannot stand plugins where the free version is crippleware. That is NOT the case here. What I don't like: it isn't completely straightforward, and sometimes the image search through your media library doesn't find pictures. In the latter case, you have to search for unused items. 



Overall, I'd give it 4.5 stars. It's worth downloading and worth using. 


Easy to Use and Fully Functional

Tired of slow, bloated gallery plugins? You've earned a coffee ☺️ Polished, beautiful galleries that are blazing fast.
