Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Portfolio Filter Gallery – Photo Gallery

Yes. The free version includes everything you need to create filterable image galleries with masonry and grid layouts, video embedding, and page builder integration.

You have three options. In the Gutenberg block editor, search for "Portfolio Filter Gallery" in the block inserter and select your gallery. In Elementor, drag the Portfolio Filter Gallery widget into your layout. For other editors, copy the shortcode from your gallery and paste it into any text block.
Go to Portfolio Gallery then Filters in your WordPress dashboard. This page lets you add, edit, reorder, and delete filter categories independently from your galleries. Once created, you can assign any filter to any image across all your galleries.
Yes. When adding a gallery item, choose the video option and enter the YouTube or Vimeo URL. Videos appear as thumbnails in the gallery and open via external links when clicked. You can see a working example on the video gallery demo page.
