Thank you for bringing this to our attention! It sounds frustrating to have the editor freeze when publishing a new gallery. Typically, our plugin should work smoothly, so this issue may be due to a conflict with other plugins or settings.
To help troubleshoot, I recommend temporarily disabling any optimization or security plugins you may have running. These plugins can sometimes interfere with gallery publishing. Additionally, if you’re using a non-default editor, try switching back to the core WordPress editor as a test.
Our plugin doesn’t generally experience this kind of issue on its own, so isolating a conflicting plugin or setting will help us identify the cause.
If the problem persists after testing, please let us know so we can assist you further!
