What does this plugin replace in my WooCommerce store?
It replaces the default WooCommerce product gallery entirely. It handles image zoom, gallery slider, product videos, additional variation images, and the fullscreen lightbox — all from one settings panel.
Do I need coding skills to configure the gallery?
No. Everything is managed through the visual admin settings editor. The Quick Start presets and AI Assistant make it even easier to set up a professional gallery without any manual configuration.
Is the gallery fully mobile responsive?
Yes. The plugin is designed mobile-first and supports touch gestures, swipe navigation, and pinch-to-zoom. Separate mobile settings let you fine-tune the experience for smaller screens independently of desktop settings.
How do Gallery Rules work?
A gallery rule is a saved preset containing all your gallery settings. You can create multiple rules and assign each one globally, to specific product categories, or to individual products. The free version includes one rule; the Pro version allows unlimited rules.
Can I position the thumbnails on the left or right of the main image?
Yes. Thumbnail position can be set to Left, Right, Top, or Bottom in the Gallery settings tab.
What zoom effects are available for free?
The free version includes Inner Zoom and Hover Zoom. Lens Zoom and Window Zoom are available in the Pro version.
What types of video can I add to the product gallery?
YouTube, Vimeo, self-hosted video files, and videos from the WordPress Media Library are all supported.
How does the plugin handle variable products?
When a customer selects a variation, the gallery main image updates automatically to the variation’s assigned image. The Pro version supports full multi-image galleries per variation — a different gallery set for each variation.
Will the plugin work with my theme?
Yes. The plugin uses its own standalone HTML structure and hooks into WooCommerce’s standard action hooks. It works with virtually any well-coded WordPress theme.
Will adding all these gallery features slow down my product pages?
No. The frontend bundle is lightweight, has no heavy library dependencies, and is only loaded on single product pages. Image preloading and optimized rendering keep the experience fast.
How does the AI assistant work?
You connect your own API key from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or MiMo. Then you describe the gallery you want in plain text, or upload a reference image of a gallery design you like. The AI translates your input into concrete gallery settings that you can apply and customize.
Can I export my gallery settings to use on another site?
Yes. Use the Import & Export tab in any gallery rule to download a JSON backup of that rule’s settings, then import it on another WordPress installation.
Where can I get support?
Visit wpbean.com or open a support ticket from your WPBean account. Free version support is also available through the WordPress.org plugin support forum.
How do I upgrade to Pro?
Visit wpbean.com/woocommerce-product-gallery/pricing/ to view pricing and purchase a Pro license. After purchase you will receive a ZIP file and a license key. Install the Pro ZIP as a plugin upload and activate your license key in the plugin settings.
