TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

  • Masonry layout for galleries
  • Works with [gallery] shortcode
  • Optional lazy load
  • Hover captions
  • Configurable layout CSS options
  • CSS3 fade-in animation

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about jQuery Masonry Image Gallery

Yes. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> JMIG Options. Check the box DO NOT allow jMIG to add any CSS that modifies your gallery or gallery items, then save.
If you are using a fixed layout and/or want Masonry to respect the column count in the gallery shortcode, then go to Settings -> Jmig options and make sure the box is checked and click save.
Yes. It's actually really easy. Go to the Dashboard -> Settings -> Media. Make sure "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)" is unchecked. You can also change the size of thumbnails as well. I like to set my thumbnail width between 150px and 250px, then set the height to 9999px. Then install the Regenerate Images plugin and run it. Now your gallery images will stack.
