At the moment, our gallery plugin doesn’t have a built-in option for automatically adding watermarks to images. However, the good news is that we’re actively working on a new release, and watermarking will be included in the upcoming version!

The update is set to be released very soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, if you need an immediate solution, you might consider using a WordPress watermarking plugin or an image editing tool to batch process your images before uploading them.

Thanks for reaching out! We understand how important performance is, especially when it comes to SEO and user experience.

To improve your gallery’s loading speed, here are a few key optimizations you can try:

1. Enable Lazy Loading – This ensures that images are only loaded when they come into view, reducing initial page load time. You can find this option in the Gallery Settings.

2. Use Gallery Caching – Our plugin includes a built-in caching option that helps speed up loading by storing pre-rendered gallery data. Try enabling this feature for better performance.

3. Optimize Image Sizes – While you’ve already reduced file sizes, ensure images are properly compressed and resized before uploading. Tools like TinyPNG or ShortPixel can help with further optimization.

4. Check for Plugin Conflicts – Sometimes, other plugins (especially those related to performance, caching, or scripts) can affect page load times. Try temporarily disabling other plugins to see if there’s any impact.

5. Compare Load Times – To pinpoint the issue, compare the load time of a page with a gallery and a similar page without one. This will help determine if the slowdown is gallery-related or site-wide.

If you’ve tried these steps and still experience slow loading times, let us know, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look! Feel free to share a link to your gallery page so we can analyze it further.

Thanks for trying out our plugin! I’d be happy to help with your questions:

1. You can disable the download button by going to Gallery Settings > Lightbox Options and navigating to the Control Buttons section. Simply disable the Source Button, and the download button will no longer be visible.

2. We’re currently working on a major update for the gallery that will introduce a new grid layout with additional customization options, including buttons, content panels alongside thumbnails, and an enhanced lightbox. This update will also bring advanced features like slideshow mode, download and share options, and integration with multiple social media platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more. We’re aiming to make the gallery more flexible and feature-rich, so stay tuned!

3. Could you please share a direct link to the specific gallery where you’re experiencing the small thumbnail issue? There could be a few different reasons for this, such as the size of the container where the gallery is embedded, the number of columns in your layout, or a possible conflict with another plugin or theme. You might also try adjusting the compatibility settings in the General Gallery Settings by switching to an alternative version to see if that helps.

Let us know how it goes, and feel free to reach out if you need further assistance!

Thanks for reaching out! If your gallery is displaying correctly on desktop but not on mobile, the issue may be related to the gallery layout settings or a conflict with your theme’s mobile responsiveness.

Here are a few things you can check:

1. Column Settings. If your desktop layout is set to six columns (for example), but the mobile version is configured for just one column, and your theme has issues handling responsive layouts, this could cause the gallery to appear incorrectly or not display at all. Try adjusting the mobile column settings in the gallery options.

2. Theme Compatibility. Some themes may not handle gallery responsiveness properly. To test this, temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) and check if the gallery displays correctly on mobile.

3. Cache & Plugins. If you’re using any caching or optimization plugins, try clearing the cache and disabling any lazy loading features for images to see if that resolves the issue.

If none of these steps help, let us know, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look!

Thanks for reaching out! I’d be happy to help troubleshoot these issues. Based on your description, here are a few things to check:

1. Grid Layout Misalignment & Overlapping Images. This issue could be caused by a conflict with your theme or another plugin. Try switching to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) to see if the grid aligns properly. Go to Gallery Settings > Compatibility Settings and try switching to an alternative rendering mode. If you’ve applied custom CSS, temporarily remove it to check if it’s affecting the layout.

2. Captions Not Displaying. Double-check your gallery settings to ensure captions are enabled and defined.

3. Slow Loading Gallery. Large image sizes can impact performance. Try optimizing images before uploading using tools like TinyPNG or Smush. In Gallery Settings, enable caching and image lazy loading to speed up load times.

If your gallery contains a large number of images, consider using pagination or organizing them into categories to improve performance.

If the issue persists, please share a link to your gallery, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look!

Thank you for your question! Currently, the ability to dynamically pull images from an external source or database is not available in the current version of Robo Gallery.

However, we’re excited to share that we’re working hard on the next version of the plugin, which will include support for integrating with external sources. This upcoming feature will allow you to create galleries dynamically, making it much easier to work with external data and sources. Stay tuned for its release it’s just around the corner!

Thank you for reaching out! The issue with the lightbox redirecting instead of opening as expected could be due to a conflict with your theme or another plugin. Let’s work on resolving it together:

1. Check compatibility settings. Go to the general settings of Robo Gallery and look for the compatibility options. Enable or adjust these settings, as they are designed to resolve conflicts with themes or plugins.

2. Clear cache. Make sure to clear both your browser cache and any caching plugins you might be using on your site. Caches can sometimes store outdated scripts that cause issues like this.

3. Deactivate other plugins. Temporarily disable other plugins, especially those related to galleries, lightboxes, or scripts, to see if one of them is causing a conflict. If the lightbox works after disabling a plugin, you’ll know where the issue lies.

4. Check the theme. If none of the above steps work, try switching to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Three) to rule out a theme-related conflict.

If you’ve tried these steps and the problem persists, feel free to share additional details, such as your WordPress version, active theme, and other installed plugins. This will help us identify the root cause and provide more targeted advice.

Thank you for bringing this up again, and we truly appreciate your patience. This situation is a bit more complex than it may appear. The support for italics in captions and descriptions was disabled intentionally due to changes in WordPress code requirements. As a result, we had to implement temporary modifications to ensure compatibility and stability within the current gallery version.

Unfortunately, re-enabling this feature in the current version isn’t straightforward due to the way the codebase is structured. However, we’re very excited to let you know that we’re nearing the release of a major new version of Robo Gallery. This update will include a host of new features, such as a completely redesigned grid with new layouts, an advanced lightbox, enhanced album functionality, improved navigation, new hover effects, and a powerful gallery conversion tool for easily switching between gallery types.

Once this new version is live, we’ll be in a much better position to revisit the issue with italics in captions and descriptions. We plan to implement the functionality in a more robust way that aligns with modern WordPress standards.

We’re in the final stages of testing and fine-tuning this release, and we anticipate it will be ready within the next few weeks. Thank you again for your understanding, and please rest assured that we’re committed to resolving this issue as soon as possible.
