Block: Gallery

The Gallery section allows you to easily add and style beautiful image galleries on your page.

In the Free plan, you can include a static image grid (like in the demo for the Pro plan), but the Lightbox 'popup' slideshow in the Gallery section is disabled by default. The Lightbox 'popup' feature, which opens to display connected images or videos when clicked, is available in the Pro plan.

Easy Content Builder offers 4 sections for managing images:

• Image Section: Ideal for showcasing a single image.
• Images With Text: Great for presenting images alongside headings, descriptions, and CTA buttons, with the option to customize the ratio of image to text.
• Gallery: Perfect for creating a grid of photos and videos. Clicking on an image or video opens a lightbox popup to display related content.
• Icons With Text: Designed for displaying a slider or grid of images, icons, and text. This section can be used for showcasing Trust Badges, a scrolling announcement bar, logo lists, testimonials, or any text columns with icons.

How to add Gallery section

• Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Gallery section.

In this special section, you can specify multi-column layouts, activate full width, determine the section's maximum width, choose a background color, and set global margins and padding, among other options.

Note: If you include the Gallery in the core product information, skip the step for adding Section Settings. Just add the Gallery.

• Step 2: Add a Gallery section and customize the settings according to your preferences.

If you are new to our Easy Content Builder, please take a look at the Add Sections section for detailed instructions on how to add a section to your theme.
