Pulp Gallery
v1.3.0 · by pulpcovers
A lightweight, zero‑bloat WordPress gallery plugin designed for clean, responsive image browsing with swipe navigation on mobile.
About this plugin
Pulp Gallery displays post‑attached images in a simple, touch‑friendly gallery using a single shortcode. It is fast, dependency‑free, and ideal for multi‑page scans, magazines, comics, and archival image sets.
Features include swipe navigation, keyboard support, a thumbnail strip, and an RSS‑safe fallback for feed readers.

[pulp_gallery size="medium" thumbsize="thumbnail"]

- size — main image size (default: medium)
- thumbsize — thumbnail size (default: thumbnail)

RSS Fallback
