## Description

WordPress has come a long way to be a fully featured content editor system, but 
the **default gallery does not keep up** with it. And while there are many plugins
with various features, I did not find a small and simple one putting the **focus
on enlarged images**.

[**PhotoSwipe**](https://photoswipe.com/) is a great basis and thus core component
of my **th23 Gallery** plugin, which replaces the WordPress default to output galleries
into a way containing all key information required while maintaining a **simple 
and easy markup**.

**th23 Gallery** is built with some few goals in mind:

 * Unintrusive way to **focus on images**
 * Leveraging **PhotoSwipe / Lightbox-like** overlay
 * Navigation between images in all galleries in a post via **intuitive swipe, keyboard
   or mouse** activity
 * Compatibile with modern **blocks and legacy shortcodes**
 * **Simple markup** and styling for thumbnail preview images (polaroid-style)
 * **Plain styling** for medium / large preview images allowing for theme based 
   style
 * **Minimized footprint** on page loading

### Usage

**th23 Gallery** works out-of-the-box and does not require any special handling –
right after activation all embedded galleries will use PhotoSwipe to enlarge pictures.

_Note_: Polaroid-style works only on galleries which have set the preview image 
size to `Thumbnail`

_Note_: 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 `[gallery]` shortcodes.

## Installation

Upload extracted files to your `wp-content/plugins` directory

No options required – **install, activate, enjoy** 🙂

Only optional setting is the option to define a **default preview image size** for
new galleries via the `Settings` / `Media` page in the admin panel

_Note_: There is a [known inconsistency in core WP](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40692)
not showing this default correctly in new galleries – but it is taken correctly 
upon saving/including the gallery and upon further edits as well

## FAQ

### What is shown as image caption? How can I influence this text?

Image subtitle in lightbox is image **caption** (defined in gallery), image **description**(
as in the media library) or image **title** (as in the media library) – in this 
order, whatever is given first

### Can you provide options to change x, y or z behaviour in PhotoSwipe?

Yes, I could, but this plugin is supposed to be simple – in case you want many individual
customization options, have a look at this [open source alternative by Arno Welzel](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightbox-photoswipe/)
