How to Bulk Edit Gallery Images

Would you like to use Envira Gallery to bulk edit your gallery images!

It is useful, especially when linking multiple images to the same URL (such as your Facebook page) or adding multiple tags to several images when using the Tags Addon.

This tutorial will walk you through how to bulk edit your gallery images.

Setup

Step 1 – Edit Envira Gallery

Click on Envira Gallery from the WordPress Dashboard.

Once clicked, you’ll see a list of dropdown options, and select Envira Gallery again from the dropdown. This will take you to the page where all the galleries are listed.

Choose the gallery you want to edit from the Gallery list screen.

Step 2- Select Gallery Images

Select the images in your gallery that you wish to edit by just clicking on the images you want.  

As you choose the image, it will appear with a green border as well as a green checkmark to give you a visual indication that you have selected that image.

Once you’ve selected your images, simply choose one of the following options for what you’d like to do with them:

• Edit
• Move to another Gallery
• Delete from Gallery

For this demonstration, we will be editing our images to add a URL and tags, so we will select Edit.

Step 3 – Edit Selected Images

Next, a pop-up window will appear with all of your images you have selected as thumbnails to edit.

From this screen, you can give each image you’ve selected the same title, caption, alt text, URL, open in a new window option, and tags.  

When you’ve completed editing the metadata, click ‘Save Metadata’.

The same metadata will be applied to all the images you have selected.

Step 4 – Update Your Gallery

Finally, to save the new metadata on your images, select the Update button for your gallery.
