Help Needed: Creating a Full Gallery on the Homepage without Cropped Images

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to set up an image gallery on my homepage, but I’ve been struggling to get it to display correctly. I need the images to show fully without cropping, regardless of their orientation (both horizontal and vertical).

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

I used various blocks, but the images always get cropped.
I experimented with the slider block, but couldn’t prevent the images from being cut off.
I also attempted to embed shortcodes from external gallery plugins, but they don’t display as expected in TagDiv Composer.
Nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have a solution or workaround to create a gallery on the homepage where images display fully, without cropping? I’d really appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your response. However, I’d like to clarify if ACF Pro is the only solution to create a gallery on the homepage where images display fully, without cropping.

If so, it’s honestly disappointing that such a basic feature requires an external paid plugin, especially for a functionality as essential as image display. I would expect full control over gallery images to be included in the theme itself.

Please confirm if there’s any other workaround within the TagDiv theme, or if ACF Pro is indeed the only option.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve tried multiple plugins and added their shortcodes using a Raw HTML element, but it seems that TagDiv Composer doesn’t render them correctly.

Could you please provide guidance on how to successfully integrate a shortcode-based gallery within TagDiv Composer? Additionally, if there are any specific plugins that are known to be fully compatible with TagDiv and can display images without cropping, your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your assistance!

Hi Anamaria,

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try setting up the NextGEN Gallery with the shortcode in a text column as you mentioned. I’ll let you know how it works out.

Thanks again for the help!
