The Imagely Gallery Module in Divi 5

Learn how to display and style a NextGEN Gallery inside Divi 5 with the Imagely Gallery module.

The Imagely Gallery module lets you display any gallery built with the NextGEN Gallery plugin (by Imagely) inside the Divi Builder and style every part of it to match your site.

You create and manage your galleries in NextGEN Gallery as usual - the module embeds a selected gallery on your page and handles the design.

Note: This module requires the NextGEN Gallery plugin to be installed and activated. Any gallery you create in NextGEN Gallery then becomes selectable inside the module. The module supports NextGEN's Image Browser, Gallery (thumbnails), and Slideshow display types.

Add The Imagely Gallery Module

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a Section.

  1. Click the Green Plus icon to insert a Row.

  2. Click the Gray Plus icon inside the Row, which will show the list of all available Divi modules.

  3. Find the Imagely Gallery module and click on it to load it. Alternatively, you can use the Search option to find it.

The Imagely Gallery Module Use Cases

  1. Displaying an existing NextGEN gallery: Show a gallery you've already built in NextGEN Gallery without recreating it in Divi.

  2. Styling galleries to match your site: Apply Divi's design controls to the gallery's images, text, pagination, and navigation arrows for a consistent look.

  3. Restyling galleries during a redesign: Keep the NextGEN galleries from a site you're rebuilding with Divi and restyle them in place.

Imagely Gallery Module Settings Breakdown

Once you've added the Imagely Gallery module, the module settings automatically pop up. This is where this module's content and design styles are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module:

The Content tab

The Content tab lets you choose which NextGEN gallery to display and configure the module's general content settings.

The Design tab

All the design styles and options for the Imagely Gallery module are in this tab. Because a NextGEN gallery is built from many different parts, this module gives each part its own styling group. Some groups only apply to certain display types - for example, the counter and navigation arrows appear on the Image Browser and Slideshow views.
