<p>Gallery plugin that’s simple because it leans on existing WordPress gallery features provided by http://sethmatics.com/.</p>
<p>NEW TO WORDPRESS? Please read about how the default gallery works at https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode</p>
<p>We decided that the default gallery that WordPress builds is lacking some very simple features.<br />
Enhance your gallery’s without having to learn a completely new interface! Upload images as you<br />
normally would, insert the “gallery” tag as you normally would, with the plugin enabled BAAM!<br />
Your gallery is not in a beautiful showcase. Wait, don’t have room on your page for a showcase?<br />
No problem, we got you covered! Ad a simple attribute (modal) to the gallery code and define a<br />
thumbnail image… now you have a thumbnail that opens an overlay box on the page with your gallery showcase<br />
in it. No, it doesn’t navigate away from the current page, its very similar to a lightbox effect.</p>
<p>But wait, you want more you say? Oh you mean you use the featured image enhancement from WordPress?<br />
Good news, we even offer you the ability to link your featured image to your gallery showcase. It<br />
will cause the featured image, when clicked, to open the sexy overlay box for you. Snazzy!</p>
<p>Great…. so now I have to worry about 10 more javascript libraries on my page… Nope! The only<br />
scripts we are loading on the page are jQuery UI and small gallery plugin for jQuery. This means it<br />
shouldn’t conflict with any of your other site features. Well, if your not sold yet, just try it out<br />
and see for yourself how quick and easy it is to extend the gallery WordPress features.</p>
<p>Features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>uses the existing WordPress gallery shortcode to keep inserting galleries easy and simple</li>
<li>tiny plugin, overhead media files and scripts are minimal</li>
<li>scripts optimized to be loaded at proper times to keep page load time down</li>
<li>extends featured images to link them to a gallery of your choosing</li>
<li>built as part of the SM plugins group which is being compiled to optimize page load speeds when using SM plugins together by minimizing files loaded on the site to 1 library. Stop loading 50 stylesheets and 39 javascript files, instead using the SM Plugins will pull from a single library and detect whats been loaded to keep you site load time down.</li>
</ul>
<p>Features Coming in version 2, Next Version Updates:</p>
<ul>
<li>javascript post-load images upon visibility to reduce page load time</li>
<li>modal box will load its contents with AJAX to reduce page load time even more</li>
<li>some styling options inside the wordpress interface (currently only available using CSS)</li>
<li>ability to select more plugin options while inserting the gallery from the WordPress media popup</li>
<li>ability to select an existing image from the media gallery for use as a gallery thumbnail image</li>
</ul>
<p>Don’t forget to rate our plugin so we know how we are doing!</p>

<h4>Awesome image zoom for images in posts/pages and for WooCommerce or SureCart products</h4>
<p>WP Image Zoom is a robust, modern and very configurable image zoom plugin. It allows you to easily create a magnifying glass on your images, all from a very intuitive WP admin interface.</p>
<p>Your visitors will be able to see the beautiful details of your images. This will improve your users’ experience and hopefully also your revenue.</p>

<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>4 Zooming Types</strong> – Inner zoom, Round lens, Square lens and outer zoom (with Zoom Window).</li>
<li><strong>Animation Easing Effect</strong> – the zooming lense will follow the mouse over the image with a sleak delay. This will add a touch of elegance to the zooming experience.</li>
<li><strong>Fade Effect</strong> – the zoomed part will gracefully fade in or fade out.</li>
<li><strong>Extremely configurable</strong> – control zooming lens size, border color, border size, shadow, rounded corner, and others …</li>
<li><strong>Works with WooCommerce</strong> – easily enable the zoom on all your products’ images. Only a checkbox away.</li>
<li><strong>Works in Pages and Posts</strong> – within the post’s/page’s editor you’ll find a button for applying the zooming effect on any image.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Using the plugin with a page bulider</h4>
<p>For applying the zoom on an image on a page/post from within a page builder, you need to add the “zoooom” CSS class to the image. Here are screenshots on how to do this with the most popular page builders:<br />
* Gutenberg – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/zoom-gutenberg.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a><br />
* WPBakery – depending on the page builder’s version: 1) <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/image-zoom-js_composer.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a> with the “large” or “full” for the Image Size setting. Or 2) <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/wpbakery-zoooom.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a>.<br />
* Page Builder by SiteOrigin – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/site-origin-zoooom.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a><br />
* Elementor Page Builder – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image-zoom-elementor.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a>. It works with all the Image Size options, except Custom.<br />
* Beaver Builder – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/beaver-builder-zoooom.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a><br />
* Divi Builder – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/divi-builder.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a> (used by the Divi theme)<br />

* Brizy Page Builder – <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/zoom-brizy.png" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a><br />

The zoom works alright only with Image elements. Unfortunately, trying to apply the zoom on an image gallery will make the zoom work only on the first image of the gallery. With the WP Image Zoom Pro the zoom can also be applied on image galleries.</p>
<h4>Why should you upgrade to WP Image Zoom Pro?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Responsive (the zoom window will fit to the browser width)</li>
<li>Mousewheel Zoom</li>
<li>Works with WooCommerce variations</li>
<li>Works with Portfolio images</li>
<li>Works with Easy Digital Downloads featured images</li>
<li>Works with MarketPress – WordPress eCommerce</li>
<li>Zoom within Lightboxes and Carousels</li>
<li>You can choose the zoom window position (left or right from the image)</li>
<li>You can use on more than one image on the same page</li>
<li>Custom theme support</li>
</ul>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin is provided “as-is”; within the scope of WordPress. We will update this plugin to remain secure, and to follow WP coding standards.</li>
<li>If you prefer more dedicated support, with more advanced and powerful plugin features, please consider upgrading to <a href="https://www.silkypress.com/wp-image-zoom-plugin/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_campaign=iz_free&utm_medium=banner" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Image Zoom Pro</a>.</li>
