Two shortcodes. One renders a saved display; the other queries the library inline without saving anything.

Missing display id.

Renders saved display 1. Every setting on that display can be overridden inline, and the override applies to this one placement — the saved display is untouched.

Which means one display can serve a full gallery page, a three-across strip on the homepage, and a compact eight-photo block in a sidebar, all from the same saved settings.

jmzg_media

An ad-hoc gallery with no saved display behind it. Any field key becomes a filter, and any display key sets the layout.

Nothing found.

Nothing found.

It defaults to 12 items, no pagination, and no visitor controls. Good for dropping a handful of relevant photos into an article. For anything you will reuse or restyle later, save a display instead — a shortcode you have to find and edit in six places is a shortcode you will get wrong in one of them.

Block theme templates

Two more shortcodes exist for building custom archive and single templates in the Site Editor:

They render the body of the archive page and of a single item page respectively, so you can wrap them in your own header, footer and layout blocks.

Notes

• Attribute values with spaces need quotes: album="Italy 2019".
• Several values for one filter are separated by a comma: people="Ana,Bea".
• captions takes a comma-separated list of field keys, with title allowed alongside them.
• Both shortcodes work anywhere shortcodes work: the block editor’s shortcode block, a classic editor, a text widget, Elementor’s shortcode widget, or a template through do_shortcode().
• Assets load only on pages that actually contain a gallery.
