## Descrizione

SB Simple Photo Gallery adds a powerful yet easy-to-use photo gallery block to the
WordPress Gutenberg editor. Select your images from the Media Library and display
them in four stunning layout styles — all without writing a single line of code.

**Layout Styles**

 * **Grid** — Clean, equal-height responsive grid
 * **Masonry** — Pinterest-style columns that respect each image’s natural proportions
 * **Justified** — Google Photos-style rows where every image shares the same height
   and fills the full width
 * **Mosaic** — Featured-image layout with a large hero photo and supporting thumbnails

**Features**

 * Built-in lightbox with smooth prev/next navigation
 * Caption support — overlay on hover or below each image
 * Adjustable columns (1–6), gap, image height, and border radius
 * Wide and full-width block alignment support
 * Full keyboard navigation (Arrow keys and Escape)
 * Lazy loading for better page performance
 * No jQuery — lightweight vanilla JavaScript only
 * No external libraries or third-party dependencies
 * Translation-ready with full i18n support

**How It Works**

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Open any post or page in the Gutenberg editor.
 3. Click the block inserter (+) and search for **SB Simple Photo Gallery**.
 4. Select your images from the WordPress Media Library.
 5. Choose a layout and adjust settings in the Block sidebar.
 6. Save and publish.

## FAQ

### Which WordPress version is required?

WordPress 6.0 or higher is required. The plugin is built on modern Gutenberg block
APIs.

### Does it work with my theme?

Yes. The plugin outputs standard semantic HTML and scoped CSS. It has been tested
with Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five. It should work with any well-coded
WordPress theme.

### Does it work with the Classic Editor?

No. This is a Gutenberg (Block Editor) plugin. The Classic Editor is not supported.

### Does the lightbox work on mobile devices?

Yes. The lightbox supports touch swipe gestures to move between images on mobile
and tablet devices.

### Why does the Masonry layout briefly appear as a simple column layout?

The Masonry layout uses JavaScript to calculate and position items based on each
image’s actual dimensions. On first load, a CSS-columns fallback displays while 
JavaScript initialises. Once images are loaded the layout corrects itself. This 
is expected behaviour.

### Can I show image captions?

Yes. Enable “Show Captions” in the block sidebar and choose between an overlay style(
captions appear on hover) or a below-image style.

### Is the plugin translation-ready?

Yes. All user-facing strings use WordPress i18n functions (`__()`) with the `sb-
simple-photo-gallery` text domain.

### Will it slow down my website?

No. Images use the browser-native `loading="lazy"` attribute. The frontend JavaScript
is only loaded on pages that contain a gallery block. There are no external HTTP
requests, no third-party fonts, and no tracking of any kind.

After trying a lot of gallery plugins, I was going to choose this one, because of
it's simplicity and nice options, until I notice that the gallery was not responsive…
