gallery-from-files

I am glad to find this plugin, very helpful to display pictures from folders, I like it, found what I had been looking for.

This plugin does a great job of generating WebP variants of the images in the folder you point it at. If you're able to work completely outside of the WordPress media library and put just one copy of each image into the target folder then you may get good results. I don't know, unfortunately, since I've always used WP's built-in default mechanisms for uploading and generating multiple variants in the media library. Sadly this plugin has no ability to filter the folder contents and so it's useless to me. On the positive side the developer responded almost instantly to my emailed questions to explain the problem which was very helpful. My search continues but your mileage may vary.

It does exactely what it has to do. Easy to configure and to use. Fast and responsive support.

I tried a few gallery plugins but none of them organized the images into separate folders. All appeared only in bulk on the admin interface. With this plugin, however, I can customize what I upload and which folder to display on different pages. With this plugin I was able to create an E-photobook. Thanks for that.
