Image Resolution

Choose between Thumbnail, Medium, Large, or Full image resolutions to optimize quality and performance.

Collapse layout on Mobile

The Modular Gallery Block by default will maintain it’s layout even on Mobile phones, the idea being that it might be often used on presentational galleries where the size of the image is meant to convey a message.

Activate this toogle if you prefer for it to collapse into a single column of images on mobile.

Remove Image Gap

Toggle removes gaps between images and rows.

Selecting WooCommerce Product from the Image Click Behavior dropdown will allow you to link the gallery images to WooCommerce products in your WordPress website. Linking is done on the individual Image blocks from a search field that is added to their Settings panel.

Note: Option will only be available when the WooCommerce plugin is installed and active. Images that are not linked will not have an empty hyperlink added.

The Default Product Link Behavior dropdown allows to decide if you want the link to add a product to your shopping cart or if you want the link to go to the selected product’s page.

The Link Target dropdown allows to decide if you want the link to be placed on an icon or on the thumbnail image. The Display Add To Cart Icon drop down allows you select if the Link icon is always visible or only visible on hover.

Note: With WooCommerce Product selected an additional control is added into the gallery block’s Styles panel. This control allows you to set the color of the Add To Cart icon as well as its background color.

Finally the Enable Lightbox control allows you to toggle the Lightbox on and off. This is only available when the Link Target dropdown set to Link Target Icon. With Enable Lightbox activated a further control allows you set what displays in the Lightbox alongside the image. With Image Title, Caption, EXIF Data, and WooProduct details being options.

From the Gallery Hover Settings panel you can set if images will display an overlay when you hover over them. The Hover Style dropdown allows you to select from a Blur, Fade, Gradient, Chip, or Color Overlay.

Notes: With the Color Overlay selected you can additionally customize the color of the text and background of the Overlay by going to the Styles panel and the Gallery Hover Styles section.

The Overlay Content drop down allows you to select what displays inside the overlay when you hover above an image. You can select from Show Image Title, Show Image Caption, Show EXIF Data, or Show Product Info.

Notes: Show Product Info option is only available when gallery is linked to WooCommerce.

Disable Right-Click on Page

Blocks right-click functionality to discourage casual saving or copying of your images.

Note: This feature helps deter casual downloads but cannot fully prevent access through browser developer tools or source code.

Enable Lazy-Load of Images

Loads images as they appear on screen to improve page performance on large galleries.

Background

The Background setting allows you to customize the backdrop behind your Modular Gallery block. You can choose any color from your theme palette or define a custom color to help your images stand out or blend seamlessly with the surrounding layout.

A subtle background tone can make white borders or drop shadows more visible, while a dark background often enhances contrast and gives a cinematic look.

Dimensions – Padding & Margin

The Padding and Margin controls give you fine-grained control over the spacing inside and around your Modular Gallery block.

Use Padding to create breathing room between your gallery content and its edges — useful for highlighting the gallery within a colored background.

Use Margin to control the outer spacing between the gallery and adjacent blocks or page sections, ensuring perfect alignment and balance within your overall page design.
