## Beschrijving

RSS Image Widget fetches images from any RSS/Atom feed that uses enclosures and 
displays them in a responsive grid with a built-in lightbox. Works as both a classic
widget and a Gutenberg block.

**Features:**

 * **Widget + Block** — Use in sidebars (classic widget) or anywhere in the block
   editor
 * **Lightweight** — No jQuery, no external CDN. Just a tiny vanilla JS lightbox(
   ~2 KB)
 * **Responsive grid** — CSS Grid layout adapts to any container width
 * **Lazy loading** — Images use native browser lazy loading
 * **Accessible** — Lightbox supports keyboard navigation (Escape to close)
 * **Zero configuration** — Just add a feed URL and go

**Upgrading from v2.x:**

The Bootstrap classes (`row`, `col-xs-12`) and external Lightbox2 CDN have been 
replaced with clean semantic HTML, a responsive CSS Grid layout, and a bundled vanilla
JS lightbox. If you had custom CSS targeting the old classes, you will need to update
it to use the new `.rss-image-gallery` BEM classes.

## Blokken

Deze plugin heeft 1 blok.

 *   RSS Image Gallery Display images from an RSS or Atom feed as a lightbox gallery.

## Installatie

**As a block:**

 1. In the block editor, click the + inserter and search for “RSS Image Gallery”
 2. Enter your feed URL in the placeholder
 3. Adjust the number of images in the block settings sidebar

**As a widget:**

 1. Go to Appearance > Widgets
 2. Add the “RSS Image Gallery” widget to a sidebar
 3. Enter your feed URL and number of images

## FAQ

### Images aren’t appearing

Your feed must use enclosures to provide image URLs. Most photo feeds (Flickr, etc.)
do this by default. If your feed doesn’t use enclosures, this plugin won’t find 
any images.

### Can I style the gallery?

Yes. The gallery uses BEM-style classes: `.rss-image-gallery`, `.rss-image-gallery__item`,`.
rss-image-gallery__image`, `.rss-image-gallery__caption`. The lightbox uses `.rss-
lightbox`.
