How to add Image Gallery to a Publii plugin

Embed Image Gallery on Publii

01

Create a Image Gallery website for Publii on Common Ninja

First, create a Publii Image Gallery website on Common Ninja. On the websites catalog, find the Image Gallery and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Image Gallery website

When you're done creating the Image Gallery website, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Image Gallery Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Image Gallery website to your Publii plugin, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the website embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Publii plugin.

04

Paste the code to your Publii website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Publii plugin editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Publii’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Image Gallery Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Image Gallery website on your Publii plugin.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Image Gallery website on your Publii website. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Publii plugin’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Image Gallery website to your Publii plugin. You can do this by putting it straight into your Publii plugin's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Image Gallery widget when your content relies heavily on visuals and you need a structured, attractive way to display many images at once. Galleries let you group photos by theme or project and present them in responsive grids, masonry layouts, or other clear patterns. Visitors can scan thumbnails quickly and open only the images that interest them, which makes exploration efficient. This is ideal for portfolios, real estate, restaurants, events, and ecommerce collections. A well designed gallery communicates quality, attention to detail, and scale of work while remaining easy to maintain. It also keeps your page from feeling chaotic, even when you display a large number of assets.
