Adds a limit parameter to the [gallery] shortcode.
As of April 2026, Limit parameter for gallery shortcode is a WordPress limit plugin with 20 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 1.9K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 4.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2014. Last updated 9 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Loggedin – Limit Concurrent Sessions.
By default, the gallery shortcode does not allow to limit the number of images displayed. This makes sense when you for example include all images attached to a post like this:
[gallery id="4"]
When this plugin is activated, you may use:
[gallery id="4" limit="3"]
and it will only display three images.
You can also use an offset parameter:
[gallery id="4" limit="3" offset="1"]
Will display at most three images, starting at the second.
Note that this plugin is a little bit of a hack.
