Change the native WordPress gallery to a gallery that nicely fits your images into a jigsaw-like grid. Much like the Google+ gallery.
Transforms the native WordPress gallery to a responsive gallery, respecting image proportions. Includes SimpleLightbox, but also compatible with most third party lightbox plugins.

Screenshots
Responsive Gallery Grid in action. By default the images will pop out on mouse-over.
The gallery shortcode can be extended with some options, from the text editor.
From the WYSIWYG view the gallery looks like an ordinary WordPress gallery, so you can easily add and remove pictures the way you are used to.
You can pimp eacht individual gallery to your needs by updating the gallery shortcode paramaters. (Check out the documentation)
How do I add a lightbox to the gallery?
Since version 2.2.1 the plugin includes a copy of SimpleLightbox. A lightweight responsive lightbox, which you can activate from the RGG Gallery page in your wordpress dashboard.
If you don’t like the lightbox, or you think it’s too lightweight, you can keep it disabled and install a third party lightbox plugin. Most lightboxes that work with the native WP gallery will work.
The images to the left and right of the grid are cut of when I mouse over them. How do I solve this?
This will happen if one of the grid containers have the CSS property overflow:hidden. If possible, you will
need to change this to overflow:visible. If not, you can
wrap the gallery inside a div, and assign some margins to it. If that’s no option either, you should just disable scaling, or use negative scaling
by setting the scale property to a value between 0.5 and 1 in the schortcode.
How can I further configure and modify the gallery to my needs?

2.3 (Apr 19, 2019)
- Added alternative to lightbox: Show image above gallery. This will create a synchronized slider above the gallery. On clicking an image in the gallery, the corresponding image becomes the active slide.
2.2.2 (Apr 16, 2019)
- added additional lightbox: simplelightbox (https://simplelightbox.com/). I recommend using simplelightbox as swipebox seems to be no longer maintained by its developer.
2.2.1 (Jun 7, 2018)
- Fixed bug that was breaking gallery after update 2.2
2.2 (Jun 6, 2018)
- Added Swipebox as a built-in lighthbox. Plugin still works fine with Responsve Lightbox. But Responsve Lightbox is getting a bit heavy and recently added it’s own gallery solution, which looks confusing if you want to use it together with RGG. So I decided to include a lightweight lightbox.
