The Full Width addon is now included with MaxGalleria Pro and no additional installations are necessary. NB: Support for our individual addons will no longer be available from the 1st May 2022.
MaxGalleria Full Width Grid allows one to easily create beautiful grid galleries without any coding.
Before installing MaxGalleria Full Width Grid ensure that the free WordPress Gallery MaxGalleria plugin is already installed and activated as this plugin provides the backend user interface for creating galleries.
To get started, install the plugin by going to the WordPress Plugins, Add New page and click on the Upload Plugin button and select the plugin file downloaded from MaxGalleria.com. Once uploaded, activate the plugin.
After activation, go to MaxGalleria Settings and click the Grid link on the left side of the page.
Here paste in your MaxGalleria Gird license key and click the Save Changes button.
Then click the Activate License button.
Once the page refreshes, the button should change to deactivate license.
While still on the Grid settings page, you can set the defaults grid galleries on your site. This step is optional. Each gallery allows you to set the same settings.
Grid Columns: Set the number of columns.
Minimum Thumbnail Width (optional): When using small images, it is helpful to see a minimum width.
Image Shape: choose between portrait rectangle, landscape rectangle, or square.

When Retina Images are enabled then the popup will display the high-resolution image on high-dpi screens.

Open the MaxGalleria page on your site and create a new image gallery. In the template tab, select Grid as the template to use. On the Images tab, new images can be upload and added to the gallery.
The gallery setting can be configured on the options tab. Choose the number of grid columns (1-10), the image shape (Landscape, Portrait or Square), grid padding (0, 1, 3, 6, 8 or 10 pixels) and choose how an image click is handled (display the image in a lightbox, show the image page, link to a different image or page, show the original image, open the link in the lightbox or disable the link). Under Lightbox Settings you can configure the behavior of the light box. If you want to allow site visitors to view all the images without closing the lightbox check the Gallery Enabled option.
To edit the title or caption that will appear when the mouse hovers over an image in the grid or add a link to use when the image is clicked, go to the Images’ tab. There you can edit information by using the buttons in the right column of each gallery image row.
