EXIF Addon

The EXIF Addon for Envira Gallery allows you easily display certain data from the image into your gallery and lightbox view. This tutorial will walk you through the steps on how to create a gallery and display our EXIF data from each image.


To use the EXIF Addon, first activate and install the addon from the Envira Gallery Addons tab in your WordPress Admin dashboard. For more help, read our instructions on how to install and activate addons.

Remember, in this instance, you’ll be activating the Envira EXIF Addon.

Before you can use the EXIF Addon, you’ll first have to create a new Envira Gallery or click to edit an existing gallery. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first gallery if you haven’t yet built your own Enivra gallery.

Once you’ve created a gallery, navigate to the EXIF tab in the gallery configuration panel and choose the EXIF data you would like to show on your gallery and Lightbox views.

Envira Gallery gives you the option to display a variety of EXIF data, including camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and capture time. Inside the EXIF data configuration tab, you can select to display different data in different views. For instance, you can check to show the shutter speed at which an image was captured in gallery view, but leave that marker unchecked for Lightbox view.

Inside the EXIF data Lightbox view configuration options, you can also choose EXIF metadata position, or choose to display EXIF metadata outside the image.

Set up the EXIF options for your gallery and lightbox view

After you configure your settings in the EXIF tab, click on the Mobile tab to set your EXIF metadata options for galleries in mobile gallery or mobile Lightbox views.

Choose to show the EXIF data on the mobile view as well

Finally, click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes you’ve made. You’ll now be able to see the EXIF data you’ve enabled on your Envira gallery!
