Organize work with category filters

Portfolio Filter Gallery Premium is a WordPress plugin for presenting images and embedded YouTube or Vimeo videos in searchable galleries. It suits photographers, designers, agencies, architects, artists, freelancers, bloggers, and businesses that organize work by category. Create filters in the management area, then assign one or more to each image or video.

Visitors can open a category directly through URL-based filtering, or see a chosen category active by default. Multi-choose filters combine categories with AND or OR logic. Parent-child filter structures group related categories, while dropdown menus offer an alternative to filter buttons. Live search finds items in the displayed collection.

Choose how filters and galleries appear

Filter controls come in six styles: Buttons, Pills, Minimal, Outline, Underline, and Flat. Zoom, Fade, Slide Up, and Blur hover effects are available. Place filters in a sidebar panel, choose from unlimited color schemes for filter buttons, or use a card layout with each title below its image.

Display media in a masonry or standard grid, with two, three, or four columns and adjustable spacing. Set separate column counts for desktop, tablet, and mobile, and choose custom thumbnail dimensions. Gallery options also include titles, image numbering badges, grayscale hover effects, borders.

Manage and navigate gallery items

Sort items in ascending or descending order, or use the shuffle button to randomize their display. Use an image watermark overlay for copyright protection. For larger collections, choose pagination or a load more option. The lightbox includes navigation, captions, and deep linking.

Reorder images by drag and drop or select them in bulk. Edit titles, descriptions, links, and filters for individual items. The dedicated Gutenberg block and Elementor widget let you choose a gallery and preview it in the editor. Shortcodes work with WPBakery, Divi, Beaver Builder, widgets, custom HTML blocks, and themes.

Set up a gallery

Install Portfolio Filter Gallery Premium in WordPress and open Portfolio Gallery in the administration menu. Create filters, add or select media, assign categories, and set the layout and display settings. Insert the gallery using Gutenberg, Elementor, a supported shortcode, or another available placement method.
