How to Add a Categorized Image Gallery to a WordPress Site.

You do not need a plugin to put a Categorized Image Gallery on a WordPress site. WordPress's Custom HTML block accepts embed snippets directly, which keeps your plugin list short and your site faster than installing a single-purpose widget plugin.

Step by step

Embed the Categorized Image Gallery in your WordPress site.

01

Create the widget in Fugte

Start from the Categorized Image Gallery starter, generate a variation with the built-in AI, or paste your own code.

02

Customize and publish it in Fugte

Text, colors, images, numbers, and options are no-code settings, so you can match your branding without touching code. Publishing gives the Categorized Image Gallery a stable hosted link and an embed snippet.

03

Add a Custom HTML block

In the WordPress block editor, add a "Custom HTML" block where the widget should appear and paste the embed snippet.

04

Preview and publish

Use the block's Preview toggle to check the Categorized Image Gallery in place, then publish or update the page.

Good to know

WordPress specifics worth planning around.

Works the same in the classic editor (paste into the Text tab) and in page builders: Elementor's HTML widget, Divi's Code module, and similar.

Self-hosted WordPress accepts the embed on any setup. On WordPress.com specifically, custom embeds require a plan that allows custom code.

No plugin means one less thing to update, and theme changes or updates will not break the widget.

Updates happen in the widget editor. The embedded widget changes everywhere it is placed, without re-editing posts.

What the Categorized Image Gallery needs from the embed.

The section above applies to anything you put on a WordPress site. This part is specific to the Categorized Image Gallery.

This widget changes height while someone is using it: opening a row, switching a tab, or filtering down a list. Set the frame height to responsive on the editor's Iframe tab before you publish. A fixed height measured against the state it loads in will clip the expanded content or leave it scrolling inside the frame.

Check it at phone width before you call it done. A row that sits on one line on a laptop often wraps to three on a phone, and that is where a frame sized on a desktop runs short.

Opening a tile shows a preview overlay. It is positioned against the widget's own frame rather than the page behind it, so it can only ever fill the embed box, not darken the whole screen the way a lightbox on a normal site would. Give the frame enough height that the preview has somewhere to open.

The category buttons change how many tiles are on screen, so the height moves as visitors filter. The tallest category is the one to size against.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to install a plugin?

No. The built-in Custom HTML block is enough. That is the main advantage over widget plugins, which add code to every page whether used or not.

Can I use the Categorized Image Gallery with Elementor or Divi?

Yes. Paste the same embed snippet into Elementor's HTML widget or Divi's Code module. Any builder with an HTML element works.

Will a theme update break the Categorized Image Gallery?

No. The embed lives in your page content, not in theme files, so switching or updating themes leaves it in place.
