1. 

   Responsive Gallery Grid in action. By default the images will pop out on mouse-over.

2. 

   The gallery shortcode can be extended with some options, from the text editor.

3. 

   From the WYSIWYG view the gallery looks like an ordinary Wordpress gallery, so you can easily add and remove pictures the way you are used to.

4. 

   You can pimp eacht individual gallery to your needs by updating the gallery shortcode paramaters. (Check out the documentation)

2.3.6 (Dec 10, 2020)

• Disabled Swipebox because it’s not compatible with jQuery 3.5.1 included with WP 5.6. Swipebox now automatically falls back to SimpleLightbox. (Thanks to Christopher Jones for the detailed report)

• Fixed small bug after resizing window + some code re-organization.

2.3 (Apr 19, 2019)

• Added alternative to lightbox: Show image above gallery. This will create a synchronized slider above the gallery. On clicking an image in the gallery, the corresponding image becomes the active slide.

2.2.2 (Apr 16, 2019)

• added additional lightbox: simplelightbox (https://simplelightbox.com/). I recommend using simplelightbox as swipebox seems to be no longer maintained by its developer.

2.2.1 (Jun 7, 2018)

• Fixed bug that was breaking gallery after update 2.2

2.2 (Jun 6, 2018)

• Added Swipebox as a built-in lighthbox. Plugin still works fine with Responsve Lightbox. But Responsve Lightbox is getting a bit heavy and recently added it’s own gallery solution, which looks confusing if you want to use it together with RGG. So I decided to include a lightweight lightbox.
