Upgrade to the Full Version
The lite version of MaxGalleria is fully functional and without limitations, but you can take your WordPress galleries further with the
full version of MaxGalleria, which provides all of the above plus much more:
- Sliders and Carousels - Create not only image galleries, but sliders and carousels as well.
- More Image Gallery Templates - Go beyond the Image Tiles and use additional gallery layouts for your images.
- Support for Video Galleries - Create video galleries with their own gallery templates and skins.
- WordPress Media Library Integration - Add images to your galleries from the WordPress media library.
- Custom Styles and Scripts - Include your own styles and scripts to further customize your galleries.
- Bulk Edit Functionality - Edit the details for many images at once, instead of one at a time.
Compatibility-Friendly
Another major reason to use MaxGalleria is that it loads its javascript and stylesheet files only on posts/pages where its galleries exist. This also includes within the WordPress admin, thus staying out of the way of other plugins and avoiding potential conflicts.
