Square Orb Gallery FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I try out Square Orb Gallery on the WordPress Playground?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Absolutely! Just go here to try it out!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What cloud storage services does Square Orb Gallery support?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Square Orb Gallery supports both Google Photos<\/strong> and Adobe Lightroom CC<\/strong> cloud import. Google Photos connects via OAuth and uses the Google Photos picker for selecting assets. Lightroom CC import is available when Adobe credentials are configured under the Authentication tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I use Square Orb Gallery without connecting a cloud account?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes. Cloud import is optional. You can select images directly from your WordPress Media Library inside the Square Orb Canvas<\/strong> block and build galleries without any cloud connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How do I manage the layout of my galleries?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Set site-wide defaults in Global Defaults<\/strong> for layout style, columns, spacing, and lightbox behavior. When the Master Override Switch<\/strong> is disabled, individual gallery blocks can override those defaults with block-level settings inside the Gutenberg sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How do I reset a gallery block to global defaults?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Open the gallery block in the editor and click Clear Canvas Overrides<\/strong> in the block sidebar. This removes any local overrides and restores the current global settings for that gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How does the \u201cMaster Override Switch\u201d work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: When enabled, the Master Override Switch forces every Square Orb Gallery block on the site to follow the centralized Global Defaults and disables per-block display overrides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I protect my images from being downloaded?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes. Square Orb Gallery includes Right-Click Protection<\/strong> for gallery items and lightbox images. This deters casual downloads, but it is a browser-side protection and not a substitute for secure asset delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Does the gallery support image metadata?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes. Square Orb Gallery can display EXIF metadata<\/strong> such as camera model, aperture, ISO, focal length, and shutter speed in the lightbox. This can be toggled globally or per block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Is the plugin responsive?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes. Square Orb Gallery is built responsively. Layouts like Grid, Masonry, Justified, Carousel, and Map adapt to different screen sizes, and you can configure separate Mobile Columns<\/strong> and Desktop Columns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I add videos to my gallery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes. Each image entry can include a video URL (YouTube, Vimeo, or MP4) for playback inside the lightbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How do I update my gallery after adding new photos to a cloud album?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Open the gallery block or Import Media tab, relaunch the cloud picker, and select the new images. Square Orb Gallery stores the selected media IDs, so re-running the picker and saving the block refreshes the gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Do changes in Global Defaults affect existing galleries?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A: Yes\u2014unless a gallery block has local overrides enabled. Blocks without overrides inherit updated global defaults immediately, while blocks with overrides retain their custom settings until the overrides are cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Global defaults provide wide control, while block settings allow fine-tuned local overrides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Square Orb Gallery focuses on graceful image display with optional Lightbox overlays and asset protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The plugin provides both Gutenberg block support and a shortcode fallback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
