What This Plugin Does

The core function of Portfolio Filter Gallery is to let you build galleries where users can click filter buttons to view specific categories of work. Instead of scrolling through an entire page of images, a visitor can select “Web Design” or “Photography” and see only those items.

The plugin includes a dedicated page for managing filter categories. You create your filters once, then assign them to individual images or videos as you build your gallery. This separation keeps your workflow clean and organized.
