Image List WordPress Gallery
Wordpress plugin with Categories feature helps to categorize images in the grid gallery. For this purpose we need to come up with categories for images and then create them by using tags. For each photo on the Image list choose Categories tab. Enter the name of category and click outside the field – so we have created a tag with the category for image, in fact tag is the same thing as the category.
