wordpress photos

I recently released a simple, yet reliable WordPress photo gallery plugin called Simple Photo Gallery.

The features and highlights of the plugin are summarised below:

Intuitive and easy uploading of photos and creation of galleries
A selection of stylish front-end gallery templates which display the gallery’s thumbnails
Watermarking of your photos on a per gallery basis. You can add any text of your choice and you can also adjust the opacity, font size and placement
Option to present your photos using a cool responsive slider
There is a lightbox option which you can use to display a photo to your visitor when they click the thumbnail
Easy sorting options for photos when displayed on your front-end
Ability to apply pagination for galleries which have large number of photos
Amazing support – we stand by our plugins and that is reflected in our excellent support.
