Although WordPress has a perfectly functional gallery built into it, for anything other than very basic image galleries, its frankly a little lacking. There have been many, many plugins over the years which have tried to bolster the WP gallery function by trying to pack more and more into a UI that just was not built for it, so the folks over at Envira Gallery thought they would do something very different.
Envira Gallery is a total re-imagining of how galleries should be within WordPress, offering the kind of flexibility you never thought possible, with a clean and easy to use robust UI all wrapped up in a lightweight package. Today’s post will take you through some of the key-features available in the free version Envira Gallery Lite, which we put to good use in our latest theme for WordPress, Gallery.
