Description
Space Boxes (not Space Balls) was designed to make building content & media grids quick and painless. Each Space Box set is created solely with a WordPress gallery inserted into a custom post type. When you insert the shortcode [spaceboxes id=XX”]
, it will display the title, and caption for each image, if they are provided.
Have 7 images in your gallery? Then you’ll have 7 boxes. Want a lightbox? No problem. Control over the grid? Check! There’s even a portfolio mode to show off images or product screenshots. You can also use the gallery to drag and drop your boxes in the order that you want them displayed. Woop! Hit the demo link below to see it in action.

1.1.1
- Actually add the gallery field fuel. Still getting used to WordPress SVN sorry!
1.1
- Added the ability for you to link individual images to anywhere. A new “Link Field” was added to the Media Library modal (right under where you enter the captions at). If you fill out a link, it will override the lightbox if you have it set. If you don’t fill out a link, nothing happens. Seamless upgrade from 1.0.
