<p>Really Simple Gallery Widget adds a widget to display images from the Media Library, no extra uploading or creating custom post types required. You can choose to show images from a specific post/page, the entire media library, or a specific set of attachment IDs. On single pages/posts, you can also show only images attached to the item currently being viewed. Especially helpful if your galleries are based on what’s attached to a post and you want to be able to easily display those images in a widget area.</p>

<p>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.</p>
