Portfolio gallery with 2 modern layouts: Masonry, Spotlight. Lightbox preview, dark/light mode, category filtering.

== Description ==

**ShowMyAura Portfolio Showcase** is a professional WordPress plugin for artists, developers, photographers, and agencies to showcase their work in stunning, modern gallery layouts.

= 2 Gallery Layouts =

* **Smart Masonry** — True Pinterest-style variable-height columns. Tall portrait images show the top portion at a glance. Click any image to open the lightbox.
* **Spotlight Grid** — Clean responsive grid with a bold gradient spotlight overlay on hover. Title and tags slide up. Click opens lightbox.

= Key Features =

* **1 gallery** with **unlimited projects**
* Clean lightbox preview — click any project to view it full-size
* Curtain hover effect
* Dark / Light mode per gallery
* Black or White accent color theme
* Category filter buttons above the gallery
* Support for images, video (mp4, webm, ogg), and audio (mp3, wav)
* Fully mobile responsive — all layouts adapt to any screen size
* Keyboard and swipe navigation in lightbox

= Pro Version =

* Multiple galleries
* 12 additional gallery layouts (15 total)
* Real-time analytics dashboard
* Social interaction buttons
* Import / Export galleries
* Remove branding
* Custom colors
* Priority support

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate through the Plugins menu in WordPress
3. Go to ShowMyAura in the admin menu
4. Edit your gallery, add projects, and choose a layout
5. Paste `[ShowMyAura gallery_id="X"]` on any page or post

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I display the gallery? =
Use the shortcode `[ShowMyAura gallery_id="X"]` — find the ID in the gallery list or the edit screen.

= Can tall images auto-scroll on hover? =
That smooth "hover to reveal the rest of a tall image" effect is a Pro feature. The free version shows the top portion of tall images by default — clean and simple. [Upgrade to Pro](https://checkout.freemius.com/plugin/25338/plan/63782/) for the animated version, plus 10 more layouts.

= How many projects can I add? =
Unlimited. There is no project limit in the free version.

= Is the gallery mobile responsive? =
Yes. Both layouts adapt to any screen size. Masonry becomes a single column on mobile, and Spotlight Grid adjusts column count automatically.

= Can I use it for videos? =
Yes. Enter any mp4, webm, or ogg URL as the project image. Videos autoplay on hover in the gallery and play with controls in the lightbox.
