## Description

Lets you add an image to a post or page from the WordPress gallery on your site 
using a shortcode. Simply add the wppgalleryimage shortcode and specify the image
you want to add by name or ID.

When you insert an image using the built-in WordPress editor, the full URL to the
image on your site is inserted into the page or post. Using the shortcode, all you
need to specify is the name or ID of the image and the URL is generated automatically.

When an image is uploaded to the gallery, the file is stored under wp-content/uploads
and metadata about the image is stored in the `wp_posts` table with a `post_type`
of `attachment`. The image is added to post or page within a `<div>` tag that specifies
the `wpgalleryimage_shortcode` class, which allows you to define a style for all
images added by the shortcode.

#### Parameters

 * **id** – The ID of the image in the `wp_posts` table.
 * **name** – The name of the image from the `post_name` field in the `wp_posts`
   table.
    The name must match exactly.
 * **title** – The titlee of the image from the `post_title` field in the `wp_posts`
   table.
    The title must match exactly.
 * **size** – The size of the image.
    This value is passed to the [`wp_get_attachment_image`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image)
   function. Valid values include:
    - `thumbnail` (default)
    - `medium`
    - `large`
    - `full`
 * **width** and **height** – The width and height of the image to display.
    The
   most appropriate image file will be used to display the image. Both must be specified
   or they will be ignored. If these parameters are specified, the **size** parameter
   is ignored.
 * **float** – How to float the image on the page. Valid values include:
    - `none` (default)
    - `left`
    - `right`
 * **link** – The URL to link to when the image is clicked on. You can also specify`
   full` to link to the full-size image.
 * **padding**, **paddingtop**, **paddingright**, **paddingbottom**, **paddingleft**–
   The amount of padding around the image.
    If floating left, defaults to `10px`
   on the right. If floating right, defaults to `10px` on the left.
