Description

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.

Shortcode Usage

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]’);

External Services

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin require an external AI API key?

You can use either local heuristic mode (no API key required) or connect to an AI API if you want more advanced metadata generation.

Will it work with Elementor or Gutenberg?

Yes. Petruth Smart Gallery enqueues styles and scripts that work seamlessly with Elementor and the block editor.

Does it affect my existing media library?

No. It manages its own gallery post type, so your media library remains untouched.

Can I customize the generated text?

Yes. You can override or edit titles, descriptions, and keywords anytime from the gallery item editor.
