What it does
Changing gallery plugins usually means rebuilding every gallery by hand, then hunting through posts and pages to replace old shortcodes. On a site with dozens of galleries, that can eat up a lot of time and leave broken embeds behind. This addon handles that move for sites currently running FooGallery or Modula Gallery. It finds the galleries you already have and brings them into Envira Gallery, keeping the images in the same order and carrying over their captions and alt text.
During the import, the addon matches your previous layout styles as closely as it can, so the new galleries look familiar. It then replaces instances of the old galleries throughout the site with the new Envira versions, which means you do not need to edit posts or update shortcodes manually. Once imported, the galleries work with Envira features such as lightboxes, albums and responsive layouts. It fits anyone who has settled on Envira and wants to keep their existing gallery content.
Best for
- Sites moving from FooGallery to Envira Gallery
- Sites switching from Modula Gallery to Envira Gallery
- Photographers and bloggers with many existing galleries

Imports from FooGallery and Modula

The addon matches your previous gallery layout styles in Envira Gallery, helping the migrated galleries keep a look close to the originals.
Site-wide shortcode replacement
Old gallery shortcodes across your posts and pages are replaced with Envira Gallery shortcodes automatically, removing the need for manual edits.
