Gallery Blocks

The Visual Portfolio block shows posts, images, taxonomy terms or social posts as a gallery. Insert it, choose where the items come from, and shape the result with the panels in the block sidebar.

Add the block

1. In the editor click + and search for Visual Portfolio. The block is in the Media category. Five variations preset the layout: Tiles, Masonry, Grid, Justified, Slider.
2. The setup wizard opens: content source, skin, and the Filter, Pagination and Popup Gallery switches. Click Skip Setup to use the defaults.
3. The block renders a live preview. The preview is the front end of your site loaded in a frame, so it shows what visitors will see, with two exceptions: Infinite pagination is shown as a Load More button, and Avoid Duplicates is not applied.

You can also convert a core Gallery block or a Latest Posts block into a Visual Portfolio block from the block toolbar.
