Why This Is Important
Are your visitors leaving your site too quickly? According to studies, the average user spends less than 15 seconds on a website before leaving. A cluttered blog or portfolio page is a major reason for this high bounce rate. Users get frustrated when they can't easily find the content they're looking for. Post Gallery Menu for Elementor solves this by organizing your content into a clean, filterable grid.

FAQ
Can I use Post Gallery Menu for my WooCommerce products?
Yes, absolutely. Since WooCommerce products are a custom post type, you can select 'Products' as your source in the plugin's query settings. This allows you to create a stylish, filterable product gallery with category navigation, which is perfect for featured items or special collection pages.
Does this plugin affect website loading speed?
The plugin is built with performance in mind. It includes features like lazy loading for images, which means images are only loaded as the user scrolls down the page. This significantly reduces the initial page load time. We recommend using a good caching plugin and optimized images for the best performance.
How do I customize the appearance of the gallery and menu?
All customization is done directly within the Elementor editor. After you add the "Post Gallery Menu" widget to your page, you will find extensive options in the 'Style' tab. You can control colors, fonts, spacing, borders, hover effects, and much more for the menu, grid items, and text elements without writing a single line of code.
Is the plugin compatible with multilingual websites (e.g., using WPML)?
Yes, the plugin is designed to be compatible with popular multilingual plugins like WPML. It correctly displays translated categories and posts, allowing you to create a seamless, filterable gallery experience for users in different languages.
