Core Features

Aura Gallery integrates seamlessly into your WordPress site, providing a powerful and secure media management framework for photographers and content creators.

Global Style Orchestration

Manage the aesthetics of every gallery on your site from one central location. Define your master layout, column configuration, spacing, and transition effects in the Global Defaults panel. Enable the “Master Override Switch” to enforce uniformity across all gallery containers and bypass block-level overrides.

Dynamic Layout Engine

  • Choose between “Perfect Square Grid” or “Dynamic Masonry” layouts to best display your landscape or portrait assets.
  • Use the responsive column controls to dictate how galleries stack on mobile versus desktop, and apply custom corner radii to match your site’s branding.

Immersive Lightbox Experience

  • Engage your visitors with a cinematic lightbox engine that supports hardware-accelerated transitions.
  • Viewers can enjoy high-resolution assets with optional metadata displays, including EXIF data, titles, and captions, all while benefiting from built-in social sharing integration and right-click protection.

Advanced Features & Customization

Aura Gallery provides granular control for power users who need professional-grade display and management tools.

Cloud-Synced Importer

Connect your Google Cloud account to securely browse and select media directly from your Google Photos library. The plugin uses a secure OAuth-based authentication handshake and a sideloading proxy engine to upload assets to your WordPress Media Library, ensuring your high-resolution images are optimized for your site.

Smart Frontend Filtering

Enable category-based filtering so visitors can browse your gallery by topic or project. The frontend engine dynamically handles the filtering logic with smooth CSS transitions, and you can add pagination via REST API integration to maintain high performance even with large media libraries.

Secure Asset Management

  • The plugin protects your content’s integrity with optional right-click protection, which disables the context menu within the gallery grid and lightbox.
  • All user tokens for your cloud integrations are stored securely in your WordPress database, ensuring your connections remain persistent and active until you revoke access.
