th23

<p>WordPress has come a long way to be a fully featured content editor system, but the <strong>default gallery does not keep up</strong> with it. And while there are many plugins with various features, I did not find a small and simple one putting the <strong>focus on enlarged images</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://photoswipe.com/" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>PhotoSwipe</strong></a> is a great basis and thus core component of my <strong>th23 Gallery</strong> plugin, which replaces the WordPress default to output galleries into a way containing all key information required while maintaining a <strong>simple and easy markup</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>th23 Gallery</strong> is built with some few goals in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unintrusive way to <strong>focus on images</strong></li>
<li>Leveraging <strong>PhotoSwipe / Lightbox-like</strong> overlay</li>
<li>Navigation between images in all galleries in a post via <strong>intuitive swipe, keyboard or mouse</strong> activity</li>
<li>Compatibile with modern <strong>blocks and legacy shortcodes</strong></li>
<li><strong>Simple markup</strong> and styling for thumbnail preview images (polaroid-style)</li>
<li><strong>Plain styling</strong> for medium / large preview images allowing for theme based style</li>
<li><strong>Minimized footprint</strong> on page loading</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p><strong>th23 Gallery</strong> works out-of-the-box and does not require any special handling – right after activation all embedded galleries will use PhotoSwipe to enlarge pictures.</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: Polaroid-style works only on galleries which have set the preview image size to <code>Thumbnail</code></p>
<p><em>Note</em>: Previously inserted galleries might require a review to ensure link to media file and preview image size are set to work as expected – especially when also using the plugin on legacy <code>[gallery]</code> shortcodes.</p>

<p>More animations available with <a href="https://codecanyon.net/item/animategl-animations-for-wordpress-entrance-pack/45375689?s=org" rel="nofollow ugc">Entrance pack</a>:</p>

<li>Delay – customize the start time of the animation</li>
<li>Easing – customize the speed and flow of the animation</li>
</ul>
<h3>Repeat</h3>
<p>By default, entrance animation will play when element enters the viewport for the first time. With option repeat enabled, the animation will play each time element enters the viewport.</p>
<h3>Lock to scrollbar</h3>
<p>Instead of fixed duration entrance animation, we can make the animation progress depend on the scroll position of the element. If the element is below the viewport, the animation progress will be 0. As we scroll the page down, and element is moving towards the middle of the viewport, the animation progresses. The end of animation is when element reches the middle of the viewport. Lock to scrollbar option can be enabled for any animation.</p>
<h3>Mouse Effects</h3>
<p>AnimateGL also offers mouse-driven distortion effects, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pull – with options for strength, size, RGB shift, and ease</li>
</ul>
<h3>Scroll triggered animations</h3>
<p>Entrance animation is played when when the element enters the viewport, when it becomes visible on the screen.</p>
<h3>Viewport entrance threshold</h3>
<p>By default, entrance animation start to play when 70% or 200px of the element enters the viewport.</p>
<h3>Live Editor</h3>
<p>Use live editor to create your custom entrance animation.</p>
