FW Gallery tutorial for Wordpress

Text commands that allow to add FW Gallery layouts to a post and define parameters available for layouts and add-ons. Shortcode always looks like [fwmg_shortcode parameter1="xyz" parameter2="abc" ...].

There are 7 shortcodes available in FW Gallery:

  • [fwmg_categories] - categories or single category layout - FW Gallery plugin.
  • [fwmg_file] - single file layout - FW Gallery plugin.
  • [fwmg_usersection] - user section layout - FW Gallery plugin.
  • [fwmg_mod_latest] - latest/selected files block - FWG Latest Files add-on.
  • [fwmg_mod_map] - files on Google Maps block - FWG Files on Map add-on.
  • [fwmg_mod_search] - search and filer form - FWG Search & Filter add-on.
  • [fwmg_mod_fwgallery] - a block that allow to show file as a grid element - FWG Layout Anywhere add-on.

Apart from shortcode there are plugin extensions that we call add-ons, which can be turned off with any shortcode if required. See Plugins section below for more information.

By default, all installed add-ons (plugins) are on.

Another type of add-ons is design. Design allows setting theme parameter and change layout appearance. See Designs section for more information.

Designs can only be applied to FW Gallery Categories layout shortcode.
