What it does
A standard lightbox makes visitors click through every image one at a time. This addon adds a slideshow mode to the lightbox in your existing Envira galleries, letting images and videos advance automatically. You decide whether the slideshow starts as soon as the lightbox opens or waits for the visitor to begin it, and you set how fast the slides move. Visitors can pause and resume with on-screen buttons or the space bar.
The addon works inside Envira Gallery, so it fits sites that already use that plugin for portfolios, product photos or blog galleries. Slideshow settings are handled per gallery, which means you can turn the feature on for a wedding portfolio and leave it off for a simple image grid elsewhere. It supports both photos and videos, and the slideshow adapts to desktop, tablet and phone screens.
Best for
- Photographers presenting portfolios through Envira Gallery
- Bloggers who publish photo and video galleries
- Business sites using Envira Gallery for product or project images
Features
Autoplay on lightbox open
Choose whether the slideshow starts automatically when a visitor opens the lightbox, or leave it to the visitor to start playback when they are ready.
Adjustable slideshow speed
Set how quickly slides advance so the pace suits your content, whether that is a quick run of product shots or slower portrait photography.
Pause and play controls
Visitors can stop and resume the slideshow with on-screen buttons, or press the space bar to toggle playback without reaching for the mouse.
Keyboard navigation
Visitors can move between slides and control playback using keyboard commands, which helps people who prefer or rely on the keyboard to browse.
Per-gallery settings
Enable or disable the slideshow on individual galleries, so each gallery on your site behaves the way you want it to.
Photo and video slides
Slideshows can include both images and videos, letting you mix media in a single gallery that plays through in the lightbox.
Responsive display
The slideshow adjusts to different screen sizes, so it works for visitors on desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.

Questions about Slideshow Addon
Do I need Envira Gallery for this to work?
Yes. This is an addon for the Envira Gallery plugin, and it adds slideshow playback to the lightbox of galleries you build with Envira Gallery. It works with your existing galleries rather than as a standalone slideshow tool.
Can visitors control the slideshow themselves?
They can. Visitors can pause and resume playback with on-screen buttons or the space bar, and they can navigate between slides with the keyboard. You can also set the slideshow to wait until the visitor starts it.
Can I use the slideshow on some galleries and not others?
Yes. Slideshow settings are applied per gallery, so you can enable the feature on the galleries where it makes sense and keep standard lightbox browsing on the rest.
Will it play videos as well as images?
Yes. The addon supports both photos and videos in the slideshow, so a gallery that mixes the two can play through in the lightbox.
Is Slideshow Addon free?
The code of Slideshow 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 Slideshow Addon is this?
Version 1.3.10, released Apr 23, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Slideshow Addon?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Slideshow Addon automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
