== Description ==

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

= 3 Gallery Layouts =

* **Smart Masonry** — True Pinterest-style variable-height columns. Tall portrait images show the top portion; hovering automatically scrolls the image from top to bottom at a smooth, configurable speed. Click any image to open the lightbox.
* **Swipe Slider** — Full Swiper carousel with the image on the left and project details on the right. Touch-enabled, autoplay, keyboard navigation. Tall images auto-scroll on hover.
* **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**
* Lightbox with image auto-scroll — tall images show the top by default; hovering scrolls them to the bottom
* Configurable scroll speed (1–12 seconds)
* Curtain hover effect with adjustable default and hover opacity
* Dark / Light mode per gallery
* 6 gradient color themes
* Category filter buttons above the gallery

* Keyboard and swipe navigation in lightbox

== 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.

= How does the image auto-scroll work? =
For tall portrait images, only the top portion is visible initially. When a user hovers over the image, it smoothly scrolls to reveal the full image from top to bottom. The scroll speed is configurable in Gallery Settings.

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

= Is the gallery mobile responsive? =
Yes. All three layouts adapt to any screen size. Masonry becomes a single column on mobile, Slider stacks image and details vertically, 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.
