This wordpress plugin allows visitors to browse posts or pages by their images, displayed randomly on an infinitely scrollable Image Wall. The images link back to the post or page on which they are attached.
Images are powerful. They catch our attention like nothing else. You probably use them in your blog posts to anchor the fickle attention span of today’s readers. Display all these great images on a nice looking page, and your visitors will browse for a while, captivated. Hopefully, one image will stand out for whatever reason and compel the visitor to click it to find out more. And just like that, some old blog post you thought buried by the sands of time has gotten another view, thanks to your Image Wall.
You can see the plugin in action on my own <a href="http://www.themodernnomad.com/image-wall/#utm_campaign=Image_Wall&utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=website&utm_content=description" rel="nofollow ugc">Image Wall</a> and the full plugin documentation on the <a href="http://www.themodernnomad.com/image-wall-plugin/#utm_campaign=Image_Wall&utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=website&utm_content=description" rel="nofollow ugc">Image Wall Plugin page</a>.

Image Wall

Browse posts/pages by their images, displayed randomly on an infinitely scrollable page. The images link back to where they are attached.

<h3>Thanks goes out to…</h3>
<ul>
<li>All the contributors, translators, and people leaving comments, 
bug reports and suggestions on the official page and in the 
WordPress.org forums</li>
</ul>
<h3>Plans for the next versions</h3>
sooner:
<ul>
<li>manage media tags for all selected attachments</li>
<li>audio and video preview on editing screens</li>
</ul>
later:
<ul>
<li>phpdoc all the functions</li>
<li>more detailed description for file_gallery_shortcode function 
(what can be used in ‘orderby’, what do ‘columns’ mean) for beginner programmers</li>
<li>yoxview lightbox http://www.yellow-llama.com/yoxview-gallery-wordpress-plugin/</li>
</ul>
maybe:
<ul>
<li>show attachments’ Custom Fields in the main page of Media Library (custom column)</li>
<li>media library sort by file size or picture dimensions</li>
</ul>
probably not, but who knows:
<ul>
<li>watermarking – probably in another plugin…</li>
<li>when detaching / deleting attachments, just remove them from DOM 
without refreshing the entire file gallery box, but take care of 
originals and copies</li>
</ul>
And thank you for reading this 🙂
