SnapTapGo Gallery

SnapTapGo Gallery connects your WordPress site to your SnapTapGo account in two powerful ways:

1. Live gallery shortcodes — Add one shortcode to any page or post. Manage every photo from your phone. The gallery on your site updates within about 30 seconds when you add, remove, approve, or reorganize photos — no WordPress login needed.

2. Upload to WordPress from your phone — Send photos directly from your phone to your WordPress media library. Requires a SnapTapGo Business plan. No desktop, no FTP, no logging into WordPress. Just tap and upload.

How live galleries work

1. Create a project in the SnapTapGo app and upload your photos
2. Organize photos into named groups (e.g. “Before”, “After”, “Events”, “Stallions”)
3. Copy your Gallery ID from the WordPress section of the project (separate from the guest share link)
4. Paste the shortcode on any WordPress page — done

The gallery pulls approved photos live from SnapTapGo and caches them for performance. Groups appear as clearly labeled sections automatically.

On Business plans, contributor uploads can go to a pending queue first — approve photos in the app before they appear on your public WordPress gallery. Invite up to 5 gallery co-owners per project to upload and approve from their phones.

Gallery layouts

• Grid — equal-sized square tiles, responsive columns
• Masonry — natural photo heights, Pinterest-style flow
• Carousel — one photo at a time, swipe-friendly with optional autoplay
• Strip — portrait photos side by side, perfect for project sequences with optional autoplay

All layouts include a full-screen lightbox with navigation arrows, keyboard support, swipe gestures, and a download button.

Great for

• Contractors — show before/after photos on your website. Update from the job site.
• Landscapers & home service pros — build a live portfolio that never goes stale.
• Interior designers — display project rooms as organized, labeled gallery sections.
• Real estate agents — embed property photo galleries without touching the media library.
• Web designers & agencies — hand clients a gallery they can update without wp-admin after launch.
• Teams with photographers + marketing — photographer uploads, social downloads, owner approves what goes live.
• Anyone — if you take photos on your phone and want them on your website, this is the simplest way.

Appearance settings

Go to Settings → SnapTapGo to:
