## Description

**Image Gallery Custom Post Type** helps you build galleries that fit your site.
Styles apply only to your gallery output, and scripts load when needed so pages 
stay light.

**What you get**

 * **Galleries** — Add galleries under **Galleries** in the admin. Pick images from
   the Media Library, drag to reorder, and use the featured image when you like.
 * **Look and feel** — Choose layout, columns, colors, and whether to show titles
   and captions. Save settings per gallery or use **Galleries  Settings** for new
   galleries.
 * **Shortcode** — Place `[show_gallery_img id="123"]` on any page or post to show
   one gallery (replace `123` with your gallery ID). You can copy the shortcode 
   from the gallery edit screen.
 * **Lightbox** — Visitors can open images in a viewer with previous and next.
 * **Free** — **Grid** and **Listing** layouts; up to **20** images per gallery.
 * **Pro** — Adds **Mosaic**, **Showcase**, and **Carousel**, and up to **100** 
   images per gallery. Pro is a separate **Image Gallery Pro** add-on plugin you
   install alongside this one (ZIP from your purchase or seller).

**How to get Pro (pay, install, use)**

 1. **Pay** — Complete your purchase using the **PayPal payment link** sent to you 
    by the seller (for example in an email, on their product page, or in your order
    confirmation). Follow PayPal until the payment is finished.
 2. **Receive the add-on** — After payment, the seller will **send you the Image Gallery
    Pro add-on** (usually a ZIP file by email or a download link). Keep that file safe.
 3. **Install** — In WordPress go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**, choose the
    Pro ZIP, install it, then **activate** **Image Gallery Pro (Add-on)**. Keep the
    free **Image Gallery Custom Post Type** plugin active too.
 4. **Use Pro** — Edit a gallery and choose **Mosaic**, **Showcase**, or **Carousel**
    under **Appearance  Layout**, or open **Galleries  Settings** for defaults. Copy
    the shortcode to your pages as usual.

The free plugin also shows **Upload Pro add-on** and **Plugins** shortcuts in the
gallery sidebar and under **Galleries  Settings** so you can reach the upload screen
quickly.

**Need help?** If something does not work after payment or install, **contact the
plugin support** or the seller using the email or support channel they gave you (
receipt, product page, or WordPress.org support forum for the free plugin).

**Tip (Donate)**

A **Donate** link may appear in the admin to support ongoing development. You do
not need your own website for it to work.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP under **
    Plugins  Add New  Upload**.
 2. Activate **Image Gallery Custom Post Type**.
 3. Optional: open **Galleries  Settings** to set defaults for new galleries.
 4. Create a gallery under **Galleries**, add images, then paste the shortcode into
    a page or post.

Translated sites can drop a `.mo` file for this plugin into the `languages/` folder.

## FAQ

### Where is my gallery data kept?

Everything stays in your WordPress site: each gallery is a post, image order and
design choices are saved with that post, and optional global defaults are stored
in your database. Uninstalling this plugin does not delete your gallery posts; removing
the plugin via **Delete** can remove only the shared default settings (see uninstall
behavior in the plugin).

### What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Free includes Grid and Listing and up to 20 images per gallery. Pro adds Mosaic,
Showcase, and Carousel and raises the limit to 100 images per gallery. You unlock
Pro by installing the official **Image Gallery Pro** add-on from your seller.

### How do I buy Pro, pay with PayPal, and get the add-on?

 1. Use the **PayPal link** from the seller (order page, email, or instructions they
    provide) and complete payment.
 2. When payment is done, the seller will **share the Pro add-on ZIP** (email attachment
    or download link). If you do not receive it, check spam or contact the seller.
 3. In WordPress: **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**  select the ZIP  **Install Now****
    Activate**. Leave the free **Image Gallery Custom Post Type** plugin active.
 4. Open **Galleries**, edit a gallery, and pick a Pro layout under **Appearance** 
    if you see the Pro active message.

For problems with payment, the ZIP file, or activation, **use the plugin support
or contact method the seller lists** (support email, forum, or WordPress.org support
for the free plugin if your question is about the free part).

### I bought Pro — what do I do?

 1. Keep **Image Gallery Custom Post Type** active.
 2. Under **Plugins  Add New  Upload**, install and activate the **Image Gallery Pro**
    ZIP you received.
 3. Edit a gallery: you should see that Pro is active. Under **Appearance  Layout**,
    choose Mosaic, Showcase, or Carousel if you want. Save the gallery.
 4. Copy the shortcode from the sidebar and paste it into your page. Example: `[show_gallery_img
    id="123" layout="mosaic"]`.
 5. Optional: use **Galleries  Settings** for defaults on _new_ galleries.

If Pro options do not appear, confirm the Pro plugin is activated and check any 
notes from your seller.

### I sell Pro but I do not have my own sales website — is that OK?

Yes. You can distribute the free plugin from WordPress.org and send customers the
Pro ZIP by email or any download link after payment. They need both plugins installed.

### How does the Donate button work?

It opens the author’s PayPal link from the plugin. You may see it on the Plugins
list, on gallery edit screens, and on **Galleries  Settings**. If you need a different
link or want to hide it, a developer can adjust this using WordPress filters in 
your theme or a small custom plugin.

### Why are some icon fonts not loaded on my public pages?

The gallery does not rely on Font Awesome on the front of your site, which keeps
pages faster. The Carousel layout (Pro) uses small icons packaged with that layout’s
styles.

### Does the plugin send data to third-party services?

Gallery content and shortcode output are served from your site like normal WordPress
content. The optional **Donate** link in the admin (when shown) opens the author’s
payment page (PayPal) in your browser only if you click it; no payment or personal
data is collected by the plugin itself.
