CLASSIC GALLERY BLOCK
Squarespace 7.1 limits the ability to add Gallery Blocks directly to page sections. With Classic Gallery Block, you can place Gallery Blocks on any 7.1 page section, whether you're using Fluid Sections or Classic Sections.
The Classic Gallery Block now unlocks the Existing Galleries feature! You can create a page with a Gallery block or section, and it will be available for selection as an existing gallery.
This opens up more creative possibilities for managing and displaying your image collections.
How it works
Classic Gallery Block is easily activated and managed through Ground Control.
Here's how to get started:
Install Ground Control and access the Toolbox section.
Find the Classic Gallery Block option in the Toolbox.
Toggle the switch to ON to enable the plugin.
Once enabled, you’ll see the Gallery Block option when inserting a new block into your sections.
Effortlessly add and customize gallery blocks on any page section in Squarespace 7.1!
