            \n
            How do I add images to a gallery?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Click \"Add Images\" in the gallery editor. This opens the WordPress media library where you can select existing images or upload new ones. Select as many as you need and they'll be added to the gallery.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            How do I display a gallery on my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Each gallery gets a unique shortcode like [easysiga_gallery id=\"123\"]<\/code>. Copy the shortcode from the gallery editor and paste it into any page, post, or text widget.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Can I use multiple galleries on the same page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Yes. Add multiple shortcodes with different gallery IDs on the same page and each gallery will render independently with its own layout and settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Can I change the layout after creating a gallery?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Yes. Open the gallery in the editor, switch between Grid, Masonry, or List in the settings panel, and save. The change takes effect immediately on the frontend.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Is the lightbox built in or do I need another plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            The lightbox is fully built in. When a visitor clicks an image, it opens in a full-size overlay. No extra lightbox plugin needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Does it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Yes. The shortcode works anywhere shortcodes are supported \u2014 Classic Editor, Block Editor, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and others.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            No. The plugin is intentionally lightweight \u2014 it loads only the minimal CSS and JavaScript needed for your gallery. No heavy frameworks, no unnecessary dependencies.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            How do I control the gallery appearance on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            The responsive column settings let you set separate column counts for desktop, tablet, and mobile. For example, you could show 4 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, and 1 on mobile.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Can I set a background color behind the images?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Yes. The image background color option in gallery settings lets you add a colored background behind each image \u2014 useful for creating a framed or padded look.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Does it support video?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            Currently the plugin supports image galleries only. Video support may be added in a future update.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
