This is by far my favorite gallery plugin. I love what it does, and I love that I can get it without Jetpack. Really looking forward to the gutenberg version, it’s going to be epic.

I’ve been using this plugin for a while and it’s been great but it hasn’t been updated in a while and it’s not playing nice anymore. My galleries are “warped” upon scrolling and never look good anymore unless I sit there while the gallery loads very slowly. I’m now potentially stuck having to redo all of my galleries bc I can’t find another plugin that did it like this one (AKA without annoying short codes etc!). I hope the creator updates soon!

Works great for community sites involving lightboxes + comments as well as personal photography sites. Has a beautiful Mosaic layout while automatically generating thumbnails to prevent scaling down. Works great on touch devices and has automatic links to each gallery item which is a treat for SEO and link sharing. Most lightboxes don’t have this.
Thank you for your continued support for Carousel.

For a long time, I was planning to get rid of JetPack because it is a huge burden for the site. I only use two modules of JetPack – the wordpress.com stats and the tiled gallery. I simply love the tiled gallery of JetPack which I did not find anywhere so far. This plug-in gave me the same feature of the JetPack Tiled Gallery and saved my life!
I am giving it a 4* because it loads an extra 3 JavaScript files if you need to use the LightBox carousel, which is pretty bad for the site speed. I’ll increase my ratings to 5* if this improves in the future. Right now I’ve disabled the carousel and searching for a lightweight plugin to use with it.
Thanks for developing the great plugin! Keep maintaining it, please!!

I agree entirely with the premise of this plugin – Jetpack is too bulky and adds bloat to your website.
This plugin does add a CSS file and 2 JS files, but somehow manages to only do it if you’re using the gallery on a page. I’m using it, for example, with Advanced Custom fields and while I call the shortcode, that is in my theme…yet the proper CSS and JS files are loaded so the plugin just works, but not loaded on all of the other pages.
So, in short, great plugin.
It gets 4 stars because it adds a menu item in WordPress which is unnecessary and against WordPress best practices.
See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Adding_Administration_Menus#Determining_Location_for_New_Menus
It is rare that a plugin would require the creation of a top-level menu. If the plugin introduces an entirely new concept or feature to WordPress, and needs many screens to do it, then that plugin may warrant a new top-level menu.
This just adds clutter on the backend, but otherwise this plugin is written really well.

I tried this plugin on WordPress 5.1.1.
In my tests, it fails to properly display some tiled galleries, and it doesn’t show slideshow galleries at all.
added to that there have been no updates issued in over a year, and response times on the support forum are exceptionally slow (months).
I really wanted this plugin to work so I could get rid of the bloated Jetpack plugin, but unfortunately this plugin does not make the grade.

Finally I can get our photo blog looking good regarding galleries. Since none of the themes we use seem to be able to deliver great slideshows/galleries I’ve been very sad this functionality was tied down to JetPack. Now it isn’t and I’m happy ??

I had to delete Jetpack because of the DSGVO, but I missed the Carousel. This plugin makes me happy. Thank you!

When activated, it disables Jetpack carousel on single photos even though the “link to” is set to attachment page (https://jetpack.com/support/tiled-galleries/). Carousel works only with galleries then.
It seems no support is provided for this plugin.

I love the plugin. It’s running nicely since years on my blog and it’s based on the WordPress core for [gallery ...]. So no extra tables and stuff and luckily NO JETPACK with also it to been seen critical if you care about data protection/GDPR. Thanks!

There are no tiles in the JetPack now. And this plugin saved me from installing a heavy JetPack. Great work! Thank you.

Thank you for the plugin.
This plugin has really the same features, look & feel, as the jetpack-feature, but you dont have all the clutter/unused feautres/privacy-issues from jetpack.
And, in opposite to jetpack, it dont forces you to activate the Content-Delivery-Network from Automatic.

Hi Folks –
You’ve got a great plugin however we are experiencing 2 issues.
1) The Meta info is displaying under the photo even though in the admin we have left that box unchecked so it won’t show but unfortunately the meta info keeps showing.
2) The comments box is displaying under the photo even though in the admin we have left that box unchecked so it won’t show but unfortunately the comments box keeps showing.
If you can help me get this fixed we’ll give it 5 stars. Thank you!

Works exactly the same*, nice! I turned off carousel and am using Foobar lightbox for the social buttons. Wishlist: add social buttons for gallery and carousel images.
*I want to use this use this with Real Media Library. Jetpack allows me to merely specify the liberary label to function. What this means is that I can add images to the preexistent library and they’ll automagically appear on my gallery page. With your version, I have to create gallery “old style” by picking individual images. So when I add an image I have to go through many more steps.
Jetpack handles this nicely and I wonder if merely a function is omitted from your fork. Feel free to contact me if any of this needs further clarity, for the countless of us who undoubtedly employ dynamically changing Real Media library categories, it would bust things wide open!

I created a www.ads-software.com account so that I could review this plugin. THANK YOU for making an easy-to-use plugin that gives me the beautiful mosaic layouts I got spoiled with on wordpress.com. I tried all the most popular plugins (besides Jetpack, since it costs) and found it annoying that I had to go to their separate plugin page to create galleries. The fact that this works with the built-in WordPress media functionality is so convenient. The results look great with literally no effort on my part. And it’s FREE!

Despite the carousels on the demo site showing weird alignment, this works exactly as expected to add the gallery Types drop-down to the gallery settings. Works great even alongside dynamic image loading plugins.

I freaking love this plugin. I’ve been using it across a ton of sites to get the gorgeous tiled mosaic gallery without all the nasty bloat (and Photon) that comes with Jetpack.
Sometimes, on occasion, this plugin will not work where Jetpack will (which might have something to do with an installed theme, I’m not sure) and I’m forced to use Jetpack, but otherwise this plugin is great and more often than not works where I need it.

Jetpack was great for a time, but it became an abusive girlfriend that demanded money for stuff she didn’t really need. I’m happy to report that I was able to break up with Jetpack and rebounded quickly with this great plugin. Works great, still does full-screen carousel and supports the same shortcodes that Jetpack did. Might have to put a ring on this one.

Thank you so much for updating this. One of my sites it was working a bit strange, but I left it rather than the other option of Jetpack.
This is a GREAT plugin and I tell everyone about it.

Even in a NON supprted/tested version of WordPress this plugin DOES WHAT IT SAYS!
And it’s wonderful to not instal the huge Jet Pack, even if it’s a wonderful plugin too!
Please, continue the developing and/or adaptation! You rock!

Please consider adding alt attributes to the images
Even in the demo I can’t see any alt attributes.
Although I have unchecked the “Show photo metadata (Exif) in carousel, when available.” It still show the meta data.

As said in the title:
Best Jetpack-free plugin for tiled carousel
Love it ??
]]>Rating: 1 star
In tiled mosaic mode, I am not able to view the thumbnails with the watermark in the bottom right hand corner, but it displays properly when clicked on. The images should display the watermarks the same way all the time. I have tried several watermark plugins and every time I use one, Tiled Galleries Carousel displays the thumbnails as either not showing or in the centre of the photo. This is a shame because I actually like this plugin otherwise. If this is something someone can help me with, I would really appreciate that.
Thanks
