When installed, you will have a Gallery Images custom post type available in the WordPress dashboard, allowing you to add an image, a name and a caption to each gallery item. If you were not using a LlamaPress, you could still use this gallery plugin and display your gallery on any post or page with the [fancy-gallery] shortcode, the shortcode also takes various parameters such as order, orderby etc as well as the ability to categorize your galleries. Motion however comes with a gallery page template that when used, will output all the gallery items.

Responsive design

Motion is fully responsive and looks great on all devices.
