Using the Shutter Reloaded plugin

If you activate the ShutterReloaded plugin, you’ll find that when visitors click on an image from a post/page or in a gallery:

  • it will display the full size image
  • the image will be presented in full screen mode with a shutter box around it.
The Shutter Reloaded Effect

Click to experience the Shutter Reloaded effect

It looks great, and we recommend it for most sites.

Use Dashboard, Plugins to activate it.

If you are going to use the default WordPress Gallery feature to display your images, go to Dashboard, Appearance, Shutter Reloaded and click the Activate button next to this setting:

(Activate) Shutter on all image links and automatically make image sets for each Post/Page.

The button will disappear and be replaced by Active: and the line will be highlighted in yellow.

To make a caption, add a title attribute to the classed link. Any text in the title attribute will be displayed below the enlarged image when it appears.
