This plugin allows the user to effortlessly create a gallery of documents and other attached media, much like the gallery option already available for image attachments.

The plugin will, by default, inherit the styling within your active theme, but with a little CSS knowledge it is possible to customize the appearance to meet your specific needs.

  • Enhancement: HostGator users were noticing an issue where HTTP connection failures would show up while Document Gallery was enabled. This resulted in symptoms like not being able to update plugins. This release modifies behavior to try and bypass this HostGator shortcoming. Work is still being done working with HostGator to try and identify a more complete resolution.

4.1.2 2015-12-19
4.1.3 2015-12-19
4.1.1 2015-12-19
4.1 2015-12-19
  • Enhancement: At long last, support for Microsoft Office files (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio), as well as a boat-load of other formats, has been re-added to Document Gallery by way of integration with the Thumber.co service. For a small fee you can generate images for all of your attachments using a service designed specifically to work well with Document Gallery. For a limited time, Thumber.co is offering a free 7-day trial of the basic subscription. If you don't like it, all you have to do is cancel and you won't pay a penny.
  • Enhancement: The pagination footer now includes more than just "prev" and "next", allowing for quicker navigation of long multi-page galleries. Additionally, the pagination footer will no longer be included if pagination is enabled, but there are less than a page-length's worth of attachments in the gallery.
  • Enhancement: Massive rewrite of some core logic that had become unmaintainable. This will mean nothing to most users, with the noted exception that if you were using the dg_thumbers filter you'll need to change some things. If this applies to you then you'll want to hold off on upgrading until you've had a chance to rework your usage of the filter to map to the new expected values.
4.0 2015-11-27
  • Enhancement: The WordPress visual editor now displays a full gallery preview.
  • Enhancement: You can now paginate your galleries. This is especially useful in large multi-hundred item galleries. To enable pagination in your galleries, simply use limit=##.
  • Enhancement: All CSS & JavaScript is now served minified to ensure the fastest possible load time for your site.
  • Enhancement: When using taxonomies to generate your galleries (eg: media categories) you can now use term slug instead of the name. Thanks andremalenfant for suggesting this!
  • Enhancement: The structure of the gallery output has been cleaned up, making it easier to style if you chose to use custom CSS. NOTE: This modified structure may break existing custom CSS or PHP filtering, so be sure to check this if you're using either of those features.
  • Bug Fix: The storage of the DG thumbnail cache was very broken. Due to how the cache was originally designed, it ran into issues at large scale and on busy sites, which resulted in difficult to track bugs. The entire storage mechanism for the cache has been rewritten from the ground up to address this issue, which will result in faster gallery generation and more reliable performance.
  • Bug Fix: In the thumbnail management tab of the DG settings, sorting by title was broken. This has been fixed.
  • Bug Fix: Limit was not working in cases where the ids or include attribute were present. This has been fixed.
  • Tested Up To: Document Gallery has been tested in WP 4.4 beta.
3.5.4 2015-11-21
  • Bug Fix: There were issues in the structure of HTML generated for galleries. This resulted in issues with icon generation.
  • Notice: For any developers using PHP filters with Document Gallery, the structure of the content being filtered in dg_gallery_template has changed. Documentation has been updated accordingly.
3.5.3 2015-11-14
  • Bug Fix: The images attribute was not being parsed correctly. Thanks to kalico for pointing this out!
3.5.2 2015-10-21
  • Bug Fix: There was an issue with the Media Manager integration preventing using the Document Gallery creation within the "Add Media" dialog.
3.5.1 2015-10-06
  • Bug Fix: There was a minor bug in 3.5 with the new gallery loading logic. It was a compatibility issue with other plugins.
3.5 2015-10-06
  • Enhancement: No more waiting a LONG time for your new gallery to load. If you create a new gallery and view it, rendering will complete immediately and the thumbnails will be generated after your gallery initially loads. This should provide a significantly improved user experience!
  • Enhancement: All JS and CSS files are now served compressed, making your WordPress that much faster!
3.4.2 2015-09-20
  • Bug Fix: Resolves issues in handling manual thumbnail uploads that were introduced in 3.4.
3.4.1 2015-09-19
3.3.1 2015-06-23
  • Bug Fix: A couple of the translation files (Finnish & Ukrainian) were named incorrectly, resulting in them never actually being loaded.
3.3 2015-06-22
  • Enhancement: Developers using the Document Gallery API now have access to new values when using the dg_icon_template filter. (Thanks to pierowbmstr!)
  • Bug Fix: Resolved some advanced CSS commands (e.g.: calc()) breaking in custom CSS.
  • Bug Fix: Some DG options were not being saved correctly resulting in odd behavior in some edge cases.
  • Bug Fix: Resolved Media Manager integration not being available when first creating a post.
3.2 2015-06-04
  • Enhancement: The long awaited option to open thumbnail links in a new window has been added. Simply use [dg new_window=true].
3.1 2015-05-24
  • Enhancement: The Media Manager can now be used to generate a gallery without needing to manually write the shortcode.
  • Enhancement: Document Gallery logs can now be rolled over at regular intervals to avoid generating massive log files over extended periods of time.
3.0.2 2015-03-17
  • Bug Fix: The update process was broken in 3.0 -- this resolves that issue.
3.0.1 2015-03-13
3.0 2015-03-13
  • Notice: Google Drive support has been removed as recent changes to how the service functions have made it no longer useful in thumbnail generation. A replacement for supporting MS Office filetypes (and other filetypes not supported in existing options) is in the works and we hope to release it soon.
  • Enhancement: Thumbnails can now be manually overridden. To do this, either navigate to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Thumbnail Management and add the image to the target attachment, or set the thumbnail in the attachment edit window.
  • Enhancement: Users can now specify the number of columns for a gallery.
  • Enhancement: Users can now create galleries with specific filetype(s) by using the mime_types option. Thanks for suggesting this functionality, mepmepmep!
  • Enhancement: Options to include or exclude specific attachments in a gallery have been added.
  • Enhancement: The document gallery CSS has been modified to make all icon images responsive. We've also added the dg_use_default_gallery_style so that developers may completely disabled Document Gallery CSS and replace it with his/her own.
  • Deprecation: The deprecated dg_doc_icon filter has been removed. Developers should use dg_icon_template.
  • Deprecation: The localpost option has been deprecated and will be removed at a future date. If you are currently using localpost=false then it should be replaced by id=-1.

  • Enhancement: You can now limit how many results are displayed in the gallery with the limit attribute.
  • Enhancement: The post_type and post_status used when generating a gallery are now configurable. (In most cases, these should be left at their default values, however advanced users may find a use case for this functionality.)
  • Enhancement: Support was added for detecting when your site is running behind a firewall or on a local network where Google Drive Viewer will not be able to function.
  • Enhancement: Handling of custom CSS was improved. Page load speed should be improved in some cases.
  • Bug Fix: When Ghostscript chokes on a PDF, it will no longer print the error message in the Document Gallery output (instead it will end up in Document Gallery Logging).
2.2.7 2014-11-06
  • Bug Fix: There was an issue with a few phrases not being translated in the admin dialogs. Dates in the logs were also not being properly translated.
0.8.5 2014-10-22
  • Added support for OpenDocuments (does not include the graphic files within OpenDocument standards because this would not fit the document focus of this plugin)
2.1.1 2014-10-22
  • Translation: Thanks to mepmepmep who has translated Document Gallery into Swedish!
  • Translation: Thanks to Marc Liotard who has translated Document Gallery into French!
  • Note: If you would like to help translate Document Gallery into another language, get started here!
  • Note: This is an extremely minor release, but big changes are on the way in version 2.2! Stay tuned as it should be going live in the very near future. Look for a complete makeover of the admin options including lots of new ways to configure DG to best meet your needs!

0.8 2014-10-22

  • Bug Fix: PHP installs older than 5.3 were crashing with version 2.2. This release patches the issue.
2.2 2014-09-30
  • Note: This release is the first release where development has been done by multiple people. I would like to give a massive thank you to demur who has been an equal partner throughout the development of this version. Couldn't have done it without you!
  • Note: With multiple developing this project, it made sense to setup a formal method to track issues and possible future enhancements. With this in mind we've begun to maintain an issue tracker. Feel free to read through possible future features and even suggest new features you would like to see!
  • Enhancement: You can now view which thumbnails have been generated and manually delete individual thumbnails from the Document Gallery settings page, located at Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery.
  • Enhancement:* The logging for Document Gallery is now **much more advanced. Logging can be configured and viewed directly from the Document Gallery settings page.
  • Enhancement: Max width and height of generated thumbnails is now configurable.
  • Enhancement: We had a couple of reports of the Document Gallery options being corrupted in some installs, so we added functionality to force validation of option structure on save. This will not be of much use to most users, but will help us track down some of the more difficult to reproduce bugs.
  • Enhancement: For developers. New filters have been added to support modifying all aspects of HTML generated by the plugin. Look at the Installation tab for documentation on these new filters.
2.1 2014-06-04
  • Enhancement: Document Gallery now supports multisite networks.
2.0.10 2014-05-22
  • Enhancement: Ghostscript detection should now work correctly on GoDaddy and some other hosts that don't properly setup their executables.

2.0.9 2014-04-21

2.0.8 2014-04-15
  • Enhancement: Ghostscript will now handle PS and EPS files if enabled.
  • Bug Fix: There were a couple of issues in how the ids attribute was being handled. Thanks, demur for catching these!
2.0.7 2014-04-10
  • Bug Fix: 2.0.6 did not fully resolve the bug described below. This should.
2.0.6 2014-04-10
  • Bug Fix: If DG failed to automagically detect the location of the Ghostscript binary, manually setting the location did not enable using it. Thanks for tracking this bug down, Chris!
  • Minor: Included various enhancements in handling thumbnail generation for image types.
  • Tested Up To: Document Gallery has been tested in WP 3.9 (RC 1).
2.0.5 2014-04-04
  • Bug Fix: Rolling back part of CSS enhancments in 2.0.4 that were causing errors on some servers. May revisit at a later date.
2.0.4 2014-04-03
  • Enhancement: Custom CSS is now loaded faster, meaning faster page loads for your users. Tests are showing a speedup of around 30% over where it was in the last release.
  • Enhancement: All of the default icons were sent through Yahoo! Smush.it, giving a few percentage points decrease in size. Thanks for the suggestion, wm!
2.0.3 2014-04-01
  • Enhancement: Now handles custom user CSS more securely.
  • Enhancement: Now handles calling Ghostscript executable more securely.
  • Enhancement: Now provides timing information for gallery generation when running WordPress in WP_DEBUG mode. When enabled, DG will log to the PHP error log file.
  • Info: Did you know that in tests I performed, Ghostscript (GS) performed 350% faster than using Imagick (IM)? Try testing with this file, which finished almost instantly using GS, but took multiple minutes when using IM on my test server (results may vary). See new FAQ tab to find out why.
2.0.2 2014-03-28
  • Bug Fix: Imagick was actually never working... My bad -- it is now! Thanks to kaldimar for reporting this.
  • Enhancement: Document Gallery en el Espaol por Andrew de WebHostingHub. (To help translate to another language, see here.)
2.0.1 2014-03-23
  • Bug Fix: Resolves issue with 2.0 where DG options were not properly initialized when the plugin was updated. This caused the settings page to behave oddly and many other things throughout to not work as expected when you updated through the dashboard. Thanks to jawhite & rigbypa for reporting this!
2.0 2014-03-22
  • Enhancement: This release is a BIG deal! We are introducing true document thumbnails (rather than the boring static images that were the same for every document), meaning that you will be able to generate and display thumbnails for most of your documents so your users can see a preview of the document before downloading. This has been months in development and I really hope that you all enjoy it!
  • Enhancement: Document Gallery now has a settings page where you can configure the default options for your galleries and chose how thumbnails are generated.
  • Enhancement: Customizing CSS for your document gallery is now much easier. If you want to add additional styling, just navigate to Settings -> Document Gallery in your dashboard and enter valid CSS in the "Custom CSS" textbox. See the changes instantly in your galleries!
  • Enhancement: Entire plugin is now Internalization-enabled. This means that we can now support users speaking all languages. If you are interested in translating Document Gallery into a language that you speak, please let me know!
  • Enhancement: This release saw much of the backend refactored to better support future development. Nothing you will notice unless you're digging into the code, but it will keep me sane long-term ;)
  • Note: The thumbnail generation implementation works very hard to support all hosting servers (including Unix and Windows systems). That said, I cannot test on all hosts out there, so there is the potential for bugs to appear. If you notice something that doesn't look right, please don't hesitate to report the issue so that I can resolve it. Thanks!
1.4.1 2013-12-31
  • Bug Fix: This resolves a bug introduced in 1.4, which caused a warning to be thrown when no attributes were used (i.e.: [dg]). (Thanks to wtfbingo for pointing this out!)
1.4.2 2013-12-31
  • Note: This release includes an increase in the minimum WP version to 3.5. If you have not yet upgraded to at least this version, you should consider doing so as future releases include a number of fantastic new features as well as many security improvements. If you chose not to upgrade, you must stay with Document Gallery 1.4.1 or lower until you do. Sorry for the inconvenience!
  • Bug Fix: Resolved icons being displayed differently depending on which user was currently logged in. (Thanks to Sean for reporting the issue.)
  • Enhancement: A number of new icons were added (mainly for the iWork suite and source code filetypes) and a number of pre-existing icons were removed if they were very similar to another icon.
  • Under The Hood: Many, many cool things. Stay tuned for a big reveal in the coming weeks! PS: If you're really curious, there are some clues in the source code ;)
1.4.3 2013-12-31
  • Bug Fix: Resolves minor bug introduced in version 1.4.2. Thanks, tkokholm!
1.4 2013-12-31
  • New Feature: This release features the addition of category/taxonomy support, as suggested by Pyo.
  • Under The Hood: The plugin was completely rewritten for this release. Logic was cleaned up to make maintenance easier and facilitate some big changes planned for version 2.0 of Document Gallery.
1.3.1 2013-02-09
  • Bug Fix: This resolves a bug introduced in version 1.3. (Thanks to JKChad for pointing this out!)
1.3 2013-02-08
  • New Feature: It is now possible to filter the HTML produced to represent each individual icon, making it possible to add extra attributes and other modifications on the fly as document icons are generated. This will probably only be of use to developers and people who don't mind getting their hands dirty. (See bottom **Installation* tab for more details.)*
  • Enhancement: There have been a lot of optimizations to the underlying plugin code to make it run more efficiently and be easier to read, if you are so inclined.
  • Enhancement: Changed how images, when included within the gallery, are generated so that the format of the icon returned now matches the rest of the icons.
1.2.1 2013-01-20
  • Bug Fix: Resolved issue with the ids attribute in 1.2 not working. Sorry about that!
1.2 2013-01-18
  • New Feature: Images can now be included alongside documents in a document gallery (using images=true attribute).
  • New Feature: Attachment ids can now be explicitly listed, allowing for documents not attached to a post or page to be included in a document gallery (e.g.: ids=2,42,57,1). Note that no spaces should be included.
  • Enhancement: The CSS stylesheet has been enhanced for more flexibility in sizing icons.
1.1 2013-01-13
  • New Feature: Included option to link to the attachment page as well as to the actual document.
  • Enhancement: Added documentation for customizing the appearance of the plugin.
  • Enhancement: Many improvements to the backend, including pretty HTML output and best practice implementation in calls to WordPress core functions.
1.0.4 2013-01-12
  • Bug Fix: Removed extra div at bottom when number of documents is evenly divisible by 4. (Thanks, joero4ri!)
1.0.3 2013-01-11
  • Bug Fix: Resolved issue with detecting plugin directory. (Thanks, Brigitte!)
  • Enhancement: Minor improvement to how linking to individual documents is handled.
1.0.2 2013-01-06
  • Merge for changes in 1.0 did not go through correctly so users downloaded the old icon set which broke the functioning. Sorry about that, but all is resolved with this release!
1.0.1 2013-01-06
  • Resolved issue with long document titles being cut off in some themes.
1.0 2013-01-06
  • Optimized gallery generation (faster!)
  • Plugin now has 36 icons representing 72 filetypes!
  • Added fallback to WordPress default icons if you happen to include one of the few filetypes not yet supported.
  • Changed shortcode to [dg] ([document gallery] will still work for backward compatibility).
  • Gave documentation some much needed revisions.
