What it does
Once a site has more than a handful of galleries, keeping them organized gets harder. Visitors land on one gallery and have no clear path to the others. This addon solves that by letting you collect galleries into albums. Each album shows its galleries as a grid of cover images, and visitors click through to the gallery they want. You can add a title, a description above or below the album, and image counts so people know what each gallery holds before they open it.
Building an album happens through a drag-and-drop interface: you pull existing galleries into place and arrange them in the order you like. Albums display in a responsive masonry layout with adjustable columns and gutters, so they adapt to desktops, tablets and phones. Every album gets its own unique URL, which makes it easy to link to or share a specific collection. Albums are managed from a dedicated submenu in the Envira dashboard, alongside your existing galleries.
Best for
- Photographers organizing portfolios into themed collections
- Bloggers with many photo or video galleries
- Businesses presenting projects or events as grouped galleries
Features
Drag-and-drop album building
Assemble albums by dragging your existing Envira galleries into place, then rearrange them until the order suits the collection you want to present.
Custom cover photos
Choose a cover image for each gallery inside an album, giving visitors a clear preview of what they will find when they click through.
Gallery titles and image counts
Show each gallery's name and the number of images it contains, so visitors can understand the contents of an album at a glance.
Album descriptions
Add descriptive text above or below an album to give context, tell the story behind a set of photos or include extra details.
Responsive masonry layouts
Display albums in a masonry grid with adjustable columns and gutters that adapts to different screen sizes, from desktop monitors to smartphones.
Unique album URLs
Each album gets its own standalone, shareable URL, so you can link directly to a specific collection of galleries from menus, posts or social media.
Album lightbox support
Album lightboxes work with lightbox settings such as Enable Lightbox Supersize, including the legacy lightbox themes from Gallery Themes.
Dedicated dashboard submenu
Manage and edit all your albums from their own submenu in the Envira dashboard, kept separate from but next to your galleries.

Questions about Albums Addon
Do I need Envira Gallery to use this addon?
Yes. Albums Addon is an extension of the Envira Gallery plugin. It works with galleries you have already built in Envira Gallery and groups them into albums, with album management located in the Envira dashboard.
Can visitors link straight to a single album?
Yes. Each album is given its own unique URL, so it works as a standalone page. You can share that link or add it to your menus so people go directly to a particular collection of galleries.
Will my albums display properly on phones?
Albums use a responsive masonry layout that adapts to the screen size. You can adjust the number of columns and the gutter spacing, and the grid reflows to suit desktops, tablets and smartphones.
How much control do I have over how each album looks?
You can set cover photos for galleries, show or hide gallery titles and image counts, add a description above or below the album, and adjust masonry columns and gutters to fit your site's design.
Is Albums Addon free?
The code of Albums Addon is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Albums Addon is this?
Version 1.9.5, released Oct 1, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Albums Addon?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Albums Addon automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
