Wide width option for galleries

    When using the block editor, will there be an option to set “Wied width” like WordPress galleries can be set? It results in the gallery extending outside the text width, presenting a fuller gallery. I would have liked to use the NGG tiled gallery option here if I could set it as you see in this post. If this is added, someone may ask for the full-width option too.

    Hi @acekin,

    Thanks for asking us. Currently, there isn’t such a possibility to enter a NextGen gallery that would exceed the content container’s width but it would be interesting to have this option so I will be happy to add it to our feature requests list.

    Thank you, I hope it happens. It will make NGG richer.

    I thought I would give a preview of what I had in mind:

    It is a basic thumbnail gallery but looks with a greater presence with a little elbow sticking out on either side. I will keep it for a while because it is essentially an override of the NGG CSS and if a page cache is refreshed, they will revert to this presentation too.

    OK, I am removing the temporary CSS but adding a couple of screen-captures to show what I mean. The link in the previous post will not show a wide-width NGG block.

    I decided to remove the CSS because there is no way to apply selectively to some galleries in the block editor. Also, I have not spent enough time to figure out how to do this for the tiled galleries in NGG Plus.

    This will really be a very valuable option to add. Did I say I like this idea?

    I noticed several visits to the links I provided. The screen capture images have been deleted. So, I decided to share a wide width presentation for NextGEN Galleries, at least basic thumbnails. I don’t know how it may work with other gallery types.

    I simply placed the gallery in a column block with one column and set the width of the column block to wide width. NextGEN NG!
