⬇️ Install and activate Modula
The minimum requirement to be able to follow along with our tutorial is to have Modula lite installed and activated. You can do this by going to the plugins section of your WordPress dashboard and searching for Modula. Once you’ve found the plugin, click the “Install” button and activate it. You can find the instructions in our documentation if you still need more info.
???? Create a new gallery
Whenever you want to create an image or video gallery using Modula, go to your WordPress menu > Modula > Add New.
To ensure you won’t forget later, add a title to your Elementor gallery.
Then, you can start uploading your files and arrange them as you want with the drag-and-drop builder. I will create a gallery with food photos.
???? Add a grid type
As I said, Modula has four grid types: creative, masonry, custom, and slider. For this tutorial, I will use the custom grid type.
After you upload your images, scroll down and go to General Settings. Here you will find all the customization options provided by Modula. In the gallery type, tick the custom grid option.
This option allows you to resize your pictures by changing heights, widths, and aspect ratios.
➕ Add more customization options
There’s more. Everything here is customizable, and you can use more customization options to beautify your galleries.
Add titles and captions to your pictures, change your social icons’ color, choose from various fonts, and so on.
✅ How to add a gallery in Elementor
Once you have tried all Modula’s functionalities and your gallery fits your needs, click Save Gallery.
Go to one of your pages (or create a new one), and click on Edit with Elementor.
Next, look for the Modula widget in the menu on the left of your page, and once you’ve found it, drag it into your page.
Choose your Modula gallery to add it to your page and click Update.
That’s it! Now, any Modula gallery is ready to be published in just a few clicks.

Modula Gallery Plugin
Create stunning, responsive photo galleries with ease. Showcase your work, captivate your audience, and boost engagement. You don’t need to do any coding.
This doesn’t work at all with Pro version on both.
Modula support confirmed it doesn’t work with Elementor Pro. You cannot style individual galleries. This post is misleading and will probably lead to other developers wasting A LOT of their time and money.
I doubt you will post this, but know that I am not happy.
Hi Scott,
I’ve reached out via an email – trying to sort this out. I’m sorry you found our post misleading.
We’ll work on updating this ASAP.
P.S: Yes, your comment was approved. Your point is fair and it looks like we’ve got more work to do. Don’t worry though, we’re not afraid of work.
