What’s new in Social Addon 1.7.0
Version 1.7.0 · Sep 8, 2026
Latest
- NewInstagram share button on gallery images and in the lightbox.
What it does
Gallery images often get viewed and then forgotten, because sharing them means copying links by hand. This addon puts share buttons right on your Envira galleries, both on the images themselves and inside the lightbox. A visitor who likes a photo can send it to Facebook, Twitter (X), Pinterest, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or an email contact with a click, and Instagram share buttons are available on gallery images and in the lightbox too.
You set it up from the WordPress dashboard without writing code. You can choose where the buttons appear and how they look, write custom share text for Facebook and Twitter, turn on Pinterest Rich Pins and set your own email subject lines. It fits sites already built around Envira Gallery, such as photography portfolios, blogs and business sites that post a lot of visual content and want readers to pass it along.
Best for
- Photographers sharing portfolio images
- Bloggers who publish photo-heavy posts
- Business sites already using Envira Gallery

Questions about Social Addon
Which social networks can visitors share to?
Visitors can share gallery images to Facebook, Twitter (X), Pinterest, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, or send them by email. There is also an Instagram share button that can be shown on gallery images and in the lightbox.
Can I choose where the share buttons appear?
Yes. You can adjust the look and placement of the share buttons on each image and inside the lightbox. That lets you keep the buttons visible without crowding your photos or clashing with your gallery layout.
Can I customize what gets posted when someone shares?
You can write custom share text for Facebook and Twitter, enable Pinterest Rich Pins for images saved to Pinterest, and set a personalized subject line for email shares. This gives you control over how your images are presented once they leave your site.
Do I need coding skills to use it?
No. The addon works inside your WordPress dashboard with your existing Envira galleries, and its sharing options are configured through settings rather than code.
Is Social Addon free?
The code of Social 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 Social Addon is this?
Version 1.7.0, released Sep 8, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Social Addon?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Social Addon automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
