Petruth Smart Gallery is an intelligent gallery plugin that transforms how you manage visual content in WordPress. 
Using local heuristics or AI, it automatically extracts meaningful titles, detects categories, generates smart keywords, and writes short, SEO-friendly descriptions, all directly from your image files.
No more manual metadata entry. Just upload your images, and let Petruth Smart Gallery do the rest.
Key Features: 
– 🧠 Automatically extract image titles from filenames. 
– 🏷️ Detect categories and generate relevant keywords. 
– ✍️ Write short, human-like descriptions using AI or local logic. 
– 📸 Custom post type for managing gallery items. 
– 🎨 Works seamlessly with Elementor and any modern theme. 
– ⚙️ Lightweight, fast, and fully WordPress-native.
Ideal for photographers, designers, agencies, and creators who want to save time and enhance SEO visibility through intelligent image management.
<h3>Shortcode Usage</h3>
To display your gallery anywhere on your site, use the following shortcode:
[petruth_smart_gallery]
This default shortcode will render the gallery using all the settings (columns, color, and visibility of the search/filter) defined in the plugin’s Admin settings page.
Custom Attributes (Overriding Admin Settings)
You can override the default Admin settings for specific instances of the gallery using the following optional attributes:
Homepage Gallery (4 columns, limited to 8 items, no filters/search): [petruth_smart_gallery columns=”4″ qty=”8″ show_filter=”no”]
You can insert the shortcode into:
Gutenberg blocks (Shortcode block)
Classic Editor
Elementor (Shortcode widget)
Or directly inside PHP templates using: echo do_shortcode(‘[petruth_smart_gallery]’);
<h3>External Services</h3>
Petruth Smart Gallery uses AI to generate intelligent image tittles, categories and description when set in the plugin settings. The plugin can still work without any AI API key.
<h3>License</h3>
This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later. 
You are free to modify and redistribute it under the same license.
