Reviews
Great product and service
By 
Very happy with all the features of this product. The customer service is very prompt. So many great features of the software and I highly reccomend.
Very good plugin
By 
The plugin module is easy to use. Its operation is self-explanatory. The galleries can be easily integrated into WordPress.
Does a great job but...
By 
Does everything and more! Social icons are a bit out of alignment. The X icon is like 15-20px out of whack from the rest of the group when X is selected to be shared with on the front end. Or it could be that the other icons are out of alignment and X is correct. It's all in the code baby! Lol. Great job on a great plugin.
Seems to work but not without an hassle
By 
Interface is nice but there is just too much problems.
Im working on a brand new site without any other plugins:
- Lightbox doesn't work
- I can't change custom grid number of columns
- Gallery layout always get resetted when updating
- Modula widget inside site editor does not work either and I can only make it work through shortcode
- It seems like you can't use a modula gallery that don't take full width so it makes it impossible to use within a specific composition/layout
I thought I had found a great Gallery Plugin
By 
After using FooGallery for some 13 years I thought I had found one that would work "Most" of the time.
Instead after using the Migrate Function with the plugin and the add-in plugin to to my migrating I migrating 1189 galleries I realized it did a random sort of the images. Yes I suppose it would if I wanted to pay 100s of dollars in order to go pro. Oh did I mention I have a 66 site multi-site with up to 66 galleries per site with some 22000 images across the platform. I also add anywhere from 50 to 100 images per month to the site.
Unless you have 1 site stay away from this plugin.
Stay Away At All Costs
By 
This plugin completely corrupted the page dedicated to the gallery, I had to recreate it FROM SCRATCH!
Deleted the plugin and never going back.
Perfect for me
By 
I've tried several gallery plugins before stumbling upon Modula, and this is clearly the best so far.
I use it on every WordPress website I build.
Technically Limited and lacks customer service
By 
We installed this plugin manage media within our WordPress environment. While it functioned adequately for handling native WordPress media, it offered no capability for integration with external storage platforms such as AWS S3 or Google Cloud, which ultimately made it incompatible with our evolving infrastructure requirements. This led to a transition to a more extensible solution.
After un-installing the plugin — including deactivation and deletion from all environments — we overlooked the manual cancellation of the auto-renewing license through their portal. A renewal transaction was processed, and we contacted support right away to request a refund and license cancellation. Unfortunately, our request was denied without exception.
The justification provided relied entirely on predetermined policy language, essentially stating that failure to cancel ahead of the renewal equates to continued acceptance of the subscription terms, regardless of whether the service is still in use or if contact was made immediately after the charge.
While technically within their rights, this rigid enforcement model offers no grace period, and disregards the common SaaS standard of good-faith customer service — especially in same-day cases where no benefit was received.
From a product perspective, this plugin may serve simple use cases within a native WordPress media workflow. However, websites requiring external storage integration or expecting responsive, customer-oriented billing practices may find the support model lacking.
Caution advised: This vendor operates under strict no-refund policies and appears unwilling to make case-by-case exceptions — even for immediate post-transaction requests. Be prepared for a transactional relationship, not a service-oriented one.
Нормально
By 
В целом все нормально, пользуюсь пару лет. Не хватает адаптации grid под разные экраны. И недавно слетели описания картинок. Хотя, возможно, Modula здесь ни при чем
the best WordPress gallery plugin
By 
Modula is hands down the best WordPress gallery plugin I’ve used. It’s super easy to set up, looks amazing, and loads fast without slowing down my site. I love how flexible the layouts are, and the hover effects and lightbox features add a nice touch. Plus, it works perfectly on mobile. If you need a gallery plugin that’s simple but powerful, this is the one to get.
