What Is Envira Gallery: Tags Addon?
Envira Gallery: Tags Addon is developed by Envira Gallery and is a gallery extension plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the gallery category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for photographers and designers. The plugin addresses the limitation of the standard WordPress media library, which provides no native method for sorting images at scale.
This extension is designed for site owners who need to manage large volumes of photos across multiple galleries. It allows users to query custom galleries from specific tags and implement front-end filtering for visitors.
Envira Gallery: Tags Addon Features
The feature set is built around giving photographers granular control over image organization and presentation.
Interactive Tag Filtering
The plugin enables a filterable interface where a list of tags appears above your gallery. When a visitor clicks a tag, the view updates to show only relevant images using a fancy, animated transition. This improves the user experience in the wordpress gallery by allowing users to find specific content without page reloads.
Dynamic Gallery Creation
Tags Addon allows you to build completely new galleries based on existing tags. You can specify one or more tags to automatically pull images from your media library into a specialized display. This dynamic approach removes the need to manually build separate galleries when you already have tagged assets available.
Bulk Tag Management
Users can bulk-add tags to gallery images directly within the editing interface. The plugin supports custom IDs and allows you to define which gallery configuration the dynamic tags should inherit settings from. This level of organization is essential for professional portfolios or e-commerce sites.
