Description
What This Add-On Does
Envira Gallery – Google Photos Addon connects the Envira Gallery plugin to Google Photos, so images you already keep there can be shown in WordPress galleries without a manual download and re-upload cycle. The add-on adds a source option to Envira’s gallery builder. You pick the photos, and the gallery is handled like any other Envira gallery from that point on.
That matters if your picture library lives in Google Photos but your audience lives on your website. Because the add-on is distributed under the GPL, you can use it across your own sites and modify it as the license allows.
Key Features
- Google Photos as a gallery source. Build galleries inside the familiar Envira interface using photos from your Google account.
- Fast, responsive output. Galleries are designed to load quickly and adapt to phones, tablets and desktops.
- Watermarking. Apply text or image watermarks to help protect your work.
- Password protection. Lock a gallery so only people with the password can view it, useful for client previews.
- Scheduling. Set galleries to go live for a specific promotion or sale.
- Proofing and eCommerce. Let customers select images to purchase or revise, set your own prices, run promotions and manage orders with no middleman.
- Display extras. Show EXIF data, add Creative Commons licensing information, embed audio tracks and create standalone gallery links.
- Organization tools. Use custom tags and sorting to keep large collections manageable.
What It Works With
This is an extension, not a standalone gallery plugin. It requires the core Envira Gallery plugin for WordPress and adds to the gallery builder, display options and sales tools you already use there. Other Envira add-ons, such as the default settings addon, sit alongside it in the same workflow.
Typical uses include photographer portfolios, case study pages, event galleries shared with clients, and topic-related photo sections on content sites.
FAQ
Can I sell or proof photos that come from Google Photos?
Envira Gallery’s proofing and eCommerce features are part of the gallery system this add-on extends. Galleries built with Envira Gallery – Google Photos Addon can use the same pricing, promotion and order management options as other Envira galleries, provided those features are enabled in your setup.
Do watermarks and password protection still apply?
Yes. Once a gallery is created in Envira, its settings control the presentation. You can add text or image watermarks, restrict access with a password and schedule when the gallery appears, as you would with any gallery made in Envira.
