The only way to separate them is to add shortcodes, manually set attributes, or dig into plugin settings. It works\u2014but it's a pain.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>WePOP solves this automatically.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Place WordPress Gallery blocks as you normally would. WePOP detects each gallery independently and creates separate slideshows for each one\u2014no extra steps required. Switch grouping modes with a single click in the settings screen.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin was built by a web professional with 23 years of hands-on site-building experience. Every feature exists because it was needed in real production work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Problem WePOP Solves<\/h3>\n\n<p>Imagine a restaurant site with three galleries on one page: food, interior, and staff photos. With most lightbox plugins, clicking any image opens a slideshow that mixes all three groups together.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fixing that usually means:\n* Adding <code>rel<\/code> attributes to every image manually\n* Writing shortcodes around each gallery\n* Installing a separate gallery management plugin<\/p>\n\n<p>With WePOP, you don't do any of that. The Gallery block structure you already built is all it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Makes WePOP Different<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Gutenberg-native grouping \u2014 no manual work<\/strong>\nWePOP reads your Gallery blocks as distinct groups. Each gallery gets its own slideshow automatically. One click in the settings switches between three modes:\n* <strong>Gallery Blocks Mode<\/strong> \u2014 each Gallery block is its own slideshow (recommended)\n* <strong>All Images Mode<\/strong> \u2014 all images on the page grouped together\n* <strong>No Grouping Mode<\/strong> \u2014 every image opens individually<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>MP4 video popups \u2014 no YouTube required<\/strong>\nHost your own product demos, property tours, or company introduction videos. WePOP opens MP4 files directly in an overlay\u2014no uploading to YouTube or Vimeo, no embedding restrictions, no third-party branding. YouTube and Vimeo are also supported when you need them.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Reacts only to media links<\/strong>\nWePOP only activates on links that point to image or video files. Navigation links, buttons, and logos are completely ignored\u2014no false triggers, no need to manually exclude things.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Captions that don't cover your photos<\/strong>\nAlt text captions appear in a dedicated strip below the image, not overlaid on top. On portrait shots and tall images, your photo stays fully visible. In slideshow mode, captions slide in sync with each image.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Per-image disable toggle<\/strong>\nNeed one specific image to open in a new tab instead of a popup? Flip the toggle in the image block sidebar. No code, no class names to remember.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Keyboard and accessibility ready<\/strong>\nEscape closes any popup. Arrow keys navigate galleries. All controls include proper labels for screen readers. Works well for corporate, government, and accessibility-conscious projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Supported Media<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Images: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, svg<\/li>\n<li>Video services: YouTube, Vimeo<\/li>\n<li>Direct video files: MP4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Who It's For<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Photographers and portfolio sites<\/strong> \u2014 multiple series on one page, each staying in its own slideshow<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restaurants and hotels<\/strong> \u2014 food, interior, and room galleries that don't mix<\/li>\n<li><strong>Businesses<\/strong> \u2014 product or service videos hosted on your own server<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web designers and agencies<\/strong> \u2014 a reliable, low-maintenance lightbox that works across client sites without conflicts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Built Without Baggage<\/h3>\n\n<p>No jQuery. No front-end framework. WePOP runs on plain JavaScript, which means it doesn't conflict with your theme or other plugins, and it won't slow your site down. Core Web Vitals stay clean.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Documentation &amp; Support<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wedok.jp\/tools\/wepop\/\">Official documentation (Japanese)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Popup Trigger Rules<\/h3>\n\n<p>WePOP activates only on links that point directly to supported media files or video URLs. Regular links, navigation, and non-media elements are not affected.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Supported media types:<\/strong>\n* Image files: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, svg\n* Video services: YouTube, Vimeo\n* Direct video files: MP4<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Where links are detected:<\/strong>\n* <strong>Default<\/strong>: On posts and static pages, WePOP looks inside the main content area only (<code>&lt;main&gt;<\/code>, <code>.entry-content<\/code>, or <code>#content<\/code>). Header, footer, and sidebars are not included.\n* <strong>Extended<\/strong>: Enable <strong>Front page &amp; blog home<\/strong> in settings to also load on the front page and blog index, and to detect links across the entire page on posts and pages.\n* <strong>Manual exclusion<\/strong>: Add the <code>wepop-disable<\/code> class to any link or wrapper element to skip it.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Popup Mode Settings<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gallery Blocks Mode<\/strong> \u2014 Images inside each Gallery block form their own independent slideshow. Images outside gallery blocks open individually. This is the recommended setting for most sites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All Images Mode<\/strong> \u2014 All qualifying images within the detection scope are grouped into one slideshow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Grouping Mode<\/strong> \u2014 Every image opens in its own popup with no navigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Language Support<\/h3>\n\n<p>Admin interface is available in: Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil).<\/p>\n\n<h3>Feedback<\/h3>\n\n<p>If WePOP saves you time on a project, a quick rating on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wepop\/\">WordPress.org<\/a> goes a long way. It helps other site owners find it and supports continued development.
