  1. I’m curious if it is possible to insert an envira gallery on a page built and edited with Thrive Architect. Right now I am using a Thrive Theme and Thrive Architect, but for the pages on my site where I want a nice gallery of images I am just using the WordPress editor and not Thrive.

    Is it possible to have an envira gallery on a Thrive Architect edited page?
