This is one of only two plugins that properly display both images and videos in the same gallery, and show the EXIF comments. I appreciate that the author(s) have kept so much capability in the free plugin! I also like the simplicity of the configuration.
Unfortunately, the EXIF comments of the photos are not searchable in WordPress.
Another drawback of this plugin is that video thumbnails/previews are not shown in the gallery.
Finally, imagine having to load 5,000 images/videos into your WordPress Media folder – and what that will do to the usefullness of your Media selections for future posts. This problem is common to almost all gallery plugins.
UPDATE One Year Later (11/8/2022):
The plugin may be growingly incompatible with WordPress 6.1+, as I saw this error today, and no updates have come in 2 years, so dropped from 4 stars to 3:
WordPress version 6.1
Active theme: Baskerville (version 2.2.1)
Current plugin: Post Gallery (version 2.3.12)
PHP version 8.1.2

Developer doesn’t answer e-mail, doesn’t answer forum.
After 1 year, the plugin stopped working it says its not activated and cannot be activated by any means.

It’s great to see active development and I can see there has been a substantial rewrite, However, there seems to be issues with the new code that break the WP CLI specifically cron.

The developers provided a fix really quickly for an issue I had and now it works like a charm. Thank you!
Only advice to the plugin developers: Please provide an empty folder wp-content/plugins/simple-post-gallery/cache because I got an error message that it was missing.

Once configured my post types in the settings, this plugin is awesome.
Best way to maintain a gallery related to a post, in comparison to other plugins in which you need to copy the shortcode with an ID, this is very simple and flexible instead.
I used the templating function for a better display of my images. Having access to the data is also a nice feature for customization.
Great plugin.
