Recommended Image Sizes

↑ Back to top
On product archives, Galleria reveals product details (price, title, ratings, add to cart button) on hover, so it’s highly recommended that you set catalog images to render in portrait orientation. Single Product Images and Thumbnail Images can be set to any dimension without negative affect. We used these image dimensions for our Galleria demo.
  • Catalog Images: 600 x 1200 px
  • Single Product Image: 600 x 1200 px
  • Product Thumbnails: 180 x 180 px
WooCommerce Product Image settings are found at Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Images. More at: Managing Product Images. Additional information on WooCommerce image sizes can be found at:

Product archive and shop layout

↑ Back to top
By default, Galleria arranges products using a ‘Masonry’ layout. This means that products are laid out adjacently regardless of height. Galleria also includes ‘product-focus’ styling that increases the size of products on the shop page to create a unique and engaging design. If you’re using the Storefront WooCommerce Customizer, the ‘product-focus’ styling is applied to 4 and 5 column layouts only because layouts with 3 or fewer columns do not work well with this style. The Masonry and ‘product-focus’ layout might not be for every store and is ultimately dependent on the type of product imagery you have. As of Galleria 2.0, there’s an option to disable both the Masonry layout and the ‘product-focus’ styling. To change the product layout:
  1. Go to: Dashboard > Appearance > Customize.
  2. Select Galleria in the customizer.
  3. Choose the preferred layout.

Demo content

↑ Back to top
It’s possible to import WooCommerce Dummy Data to populate your site with demo products as a starting point. Note: We do not supply the exact images you see in our Galleria demo due to copyright restrictions. The WooCommerce Dummy Data instead comes with our own unique unrestricted images that we can redistribute within product import data.

How can I customize my site when using a child theme?

↑ Back to top
A lot of WordPress tutorials will recommend inserting code snippets into a child themes functions.php file. This is to ensure that you’re always able to update the parent theme without losing your changes. As Galleria is already a child theme, you aren’t able to do this. Any changes you add to Galleria’s functions.php file will be lost when you perform an update. Instead, it is recommended that you add any code snippets to a customization plugin. We’ve created a plugin you can use to do just this. Download Theme Customizations.
