What's going wrong
Site owners who installed this gallery plugin for free report that most gallery layouts and features are locked until they buy a paid plan. Some say the plugin listing suggests styles such as masonry are available, but selecting them prompts an upgrade. These reviewers felt the free tier was a sales funnel rather than a usable product. Small photographers, bloggers and hobby site owners who avoid subscriptions are a clear audience for a tool that offers the common layouts without gating and charges once for optional extras.
