Reference
The short version
JMGallery treats every photo and video as a record you can describe with your own fields, gives you a spreadsheet to edit hundreds of them at once, and saves the galleries you build as displays you drop on any page with a shortcode.
Two plugins: JMarzTech Gallery, which is free and does the work, and JMGallery Pro, an add-on for video, watermarking, four more field types, caption styling, downloads, selling, CSV import and an Elementor widget. Pages that need Pro are marked PRO.
