How to install Envira Gallery

Are you ready to install Envira Gallery? If you’ve already purchased a license, and you’re not sure what to do next, this tutorial will walk you through the steps you need to install Envira on your WordPress site.

Once you’ve purchased the Envira Gallery plugin, you’ll need to install it into your WordPress site. 

Here, we’ll discuss how to download, install, and verify your plugin so that you can get the most out of your Envira Gallery.

Note that these steps apply to all paid versions of Envira Gallery. If you don’t have Envira Gallery, you can purchase it here.

If you are using our free version, Envira Lite, and have recently purchased a premium version of the plugin, you will need to download that version from your Envira Gallery Account. Envira Lite cannot become a premium version; they are separate plugins. Please follow the steps below.

Here you’ll see the available add-ons that come with your license.

Click the Download Envira Gallery button to download the Envira Gallery plugin file.

Download Envira Gallery Pro

The Envira Gallery plugin will download to your computer as a .zip file. This is the file you’ll be uploading into your WordPress.

Some browsers will automatically unzip any downloaded files. If this happens, just re-zip the download.
