Hello everyone!
First I just want to say thank you for this amazing product. I love that it is not overloaded, and is so simple to theme and create pages. It is nothing less than brilliant and I am so so happy that I found it. It is a game changer!
I am working on a website for a remodeling company and looking for a gallery to display their work, and have had some success with embedding Google albums (they work, but seem to stop working if you edit a page a seconnd time) and a couple of other embedded galleries (most of which require a monthly subsription or their branding) but was wondering if anyone knew of a working plugin or if there is one being developed?
Any information that anyone has is greatly appreciated!

Hey joshswlms,
there was a really old plugin which doesn't work anymore.
What type of gallery do you need?
I was thinking how to enable a really simple gallery for people to update without me checking every time and there is a way, but a bit clunky.
Here is a demo (masonry layout):

Basic grid:

In Summernote editor create new table (one row, few columns). Switch to "code view" and add "table-gallery" class to table (there are already few classes generated).
Switch back from "code view" to normal editor.
Now click on empty field and drag&drop picture or use "Picture" button from Summernote menu. Also, options add column left or right and delete column are handy.
I didn't look into lightbox option and how to add links to pictures.

Hello Nox,
I appreciate you responding to my post. I tried the one that you are refferring to and also could not get it to work. Both of the demos you provided are great! I have been toying with them both, and they are both working well and will be a great way for me to start with the clients gallery.
Ideally I would like something like this:
https://albumizr.com/
The main downfall is the token or icon in the bottom right corner after you create a gallery. The upside is that it is free.
The concept itself is great for an embeded photo gallery and would make a great plugin. I am just still learning PHP and it is outside of my scope.
I also saw on another post and have reached out to the responder, Rob, who has apparently created a plugin, but have not yet heard anything from him.

Albumizr is really great, works better and easier to use compared to Google Albums. It's worth looking into their main product jAlbum too.
There is a way to cover their logo with text block or icon, but just to disable additional options.
Information about author should be listed somewhere, like this example:

Nox, you are my hero! I dug through their code trying to figure out how to eliminate the logo with display:none, etc and had zero luck and did not even think to use a wrapper:before. I really really appreciate your help with this! Hopefully others who are looking for a gallery for WCMS will come across this. Again, hero, I appreciate you!

Oh man, I'm glad I was able to help
<iframe> content from other sources ignores css styling.
Maybe it is possible with javascript but never looked into it.

Yeah, luckily Albumizr does allow you to set a transparent background, so it turned out looking pretty good.
It's still a work in progress but, you can take a look at how the page is going so far:

Thinking after it is finished and I have everything cleaned up I might change out the images and submit it as a theme. It's super light using Skeleton Boilermaker for the layout instead of Bootstrap. Feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts!
