A simple plugin that adds an image gallery to each post and page. Most gallery plugins seem to be fancy and advanced but sometimes you just want a simple solution to add images to a post or page. I created this to solve that problem. The plugin uses the WordPress image manager, so you can add already uploaded images too a gallery.
You can now upload a number of images and add them all at once.
If you change the size of the thumbnails after uploading images to a gallery, I suggest using Regenerate Thumbnails to regenerate the correct size thumbnails.
Requires WordPress 3.0 and PHP 5.
Download from the WordPress plugin directory at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-simple-galleries/

Thanks, this is a great plug-in. It works beautifully, yet is simple to use.
I only wish there was an option to show images at full size instead of fitting the screen size only, but its a minor issue.
Im very glad you like, I will look into adding more options to the plugin soon!
wonderful but no more options
but its very easy to use and user friendly like me a non IT person.
Hi,
I want to display posts on my home page and hide msot of the article ( using the more tag)
Where the rest of the post is hidden, the image gallery still shows on the home page. Can you help please?
I will add an option to only show galleries if the page only has a single post
Hi Maca,
What i mean is I want to hide it after the “more” tag of a post, so it doesn’t show. But as it’s not part of the text editor, it always shows.
I have add another option that will only show the gallery in actual pages and posts.
Hi
this is a superb plugin, but can you please let me know how to add the thumbnails and a gallery to the pages. i dont see any shortcodes or any option to add the gallery.
can you please let me know how to do this.
Once the plugin is activated, it will add a meta box to the add/edit page/posts pages. You can upload images there and they will be automatically appended below the content.
Hi,
I love the plugin, it is exactly what i was looking for. Is there there the possibility to insert multiple images at once in the gallery?
Thank you
Hey

Hi mate, just wondering about using colourbox theme #2. I get vertical and horizontal scroll bars. How can I get rid of these? Images are 600pxl wide and seem to display fully with other colourboxes. Cheers.
A lot thanks to you for create this plugin. It is very nice and easy to use.
lots of thanks to you for this plugin. It is very nice and easy to use.
There’s a problem with Internet Explorer 8, the gallery doesn’t seem to work. Can you help me please?
Thanks again.
New update will fix this issue.
Thank you so much! Peace, Max
Excelente !!!!!!!!!!
Just updated to 1.21 and the gallery settings have changed from 5 images across to four. How can I change this back to 5 images across?
I had to change the CSS to make the gallery look right in Internet Explorer (I don’t like IE so I never test in it). This will be why the arrangement has changed. At the moment there is no option to adjust the thumbnail margins (I will add it in the next version).
If you are familiar with adding CSS to your theme via the theme editor, you can add the following, changing the number to suit your needs:
#wpsimplegallery li img {margin: 5px 7px;
}
Hey there, is there any way to change the size of the thumbnail image that displays to be slightly larger? I tried just changing it in the php code but it didn’t seem to work. Thanks!!
Hey, there should be a section in your WordPress admin for the plugin called ‘Simple Gallery’. In there are some options for the thumbnail sizes. If you do change them, you will need to download/install another plugin called ‘Regenerate Thumbnails’ to resize all your thumbnails properly.
Hope this helps
The plugin is wonderful but in my last site on having tried to raise the images after the process it stays in white and does not show them, I that is not wander of the plugin … that can be?
All preceso met, but when I give “insert image” is placed in white, see here: http://www.comfamiliar.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/error-subir.jpg
Hey
Can you do a screenshot of the Javascript errors being produced?
that is the problem not only throws errors not send pictures
If you are using Chrome, pressing F12 will show the Javascript console. There will, hopefully, be some errors in there.
This is the image http://www.comfamiliar.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/erroe.jpg
this may help: http://www.comfamiliar.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/erre2.jpg

Great stuff, yo!
Two ?’s:
1) How can I get the thumbnail grid to go flush right?
2) How can I insert the thumbnails before other content on the page? (It seems like the grid only appears after the other content on the page).
Thanks,
Paul
Hey
To edit the code, goto wp-simple-gallery.php
Look for the method ‘output_gallery’
The last line in the method is ‘$content . $html’
If you swap them around, it will have the desired effect. If you update the plugin, the changes will be over written.
Hi, I really love your gallery and I wonder if you have a version that can be used on general, non WordPress-based websites…
Thaaaanks
Unfortunaly there isn’t. But you can set one up in HTML quite easily. The lightbox is called Colorbox
Thank you for this great plugin! I’ve tried several gallery options and this is the best/easiest by far! One question though: is there is a way to remove “image 1 of ….” from the caption? It interferes with the image title so they both get displayed on top of each other when the image is not wide enough to display all the letters next to each other. Thanks!
Hey
Good to hear from you.
Regarding your issue, the easiest (but hacky) solution is to add the following CSS to your themes style.css
#cboxContent #cboxCurrent { display: none !important; }Its not the ‘best’ solution but the only other way is by editing JavaScript files.
Thank you maca134, it works! Just as an idea for future releases: maybe the image count could be below the “left/right” navigation (a second row?) because the image count takes quite a lot of space away from the caption. Great work though, thx again!
hmmm yes i was searching this kinda gallery…
thx alot
em going to use this on my blog..
love you for sharing a grt plugin
Thankyou!
Great to know you like!
Great plugin!!
Do you know the way to change number of thumbnails by line like in the wp official gallery??
thanks
The number of thumbnails per row is set by the thumbnail width. But changing the thumbnail width will require you to re-generate the thumbnails, it’s abit of a pain but at the moment is the only option.
I suggest using Regenerate Thumbnails, it’s the easiest option. I will add a thumbnail generating script in the next release, so changing the width will not require additional steps.
It is also possible to add your own CSS to reduce margins and padding.
Hey
great stuff !
But once i’m missing. The print function for the shown images. Also “send to friend”-function would be nice on it. Do you think this could be done in the future?
