Beschreibung
Lichtbild lays your photographs out in even rows that fill the width of the page. Nothing is
cropped to a square and no row ends ragged, so a set of mixed portrait and landscape shots reads
as one composition rather than a grid fighting its contents. Click any photograph and it opens
full screen, with the next and previous one a swipe or an arrow key away.
Making a gallery takes one screen. Add images from your media library, drag them into the order
you want, and edit each one’s title, caption and alt text in the same place. Then put the gallery
into a post with the block, or paste a shortcode.
It is quick on the visitor’s side because of what it does not send: photographs are served at the
size the page actually shows rather than at full resolution, and the full-screen viewer is
downloaded only when somebody opens an image, so a page of galleries that nobody clicks costs no
JavaScript at all.
Everything is included. There is no pro version, no upgrade prompt, no licence key and no account
to create. The plugin makes no requests to any server other than your own, so nothing about your
site, your visitors or your photographs is sent anywhere.
If you are moving from Envira Gallery, Lichtbild reads your existing galleries where they are, so
you can compare the two by switching a plugin on and off. The migration that follows keeps every
URL and shortcode working and can be undone from the same screen.
What you get
- Even rows that fill the page. Every photograph keeps its own proportions and the row settles
at a shared height. Fixed columns are available if you prefer them. - Images sized for the page. The grid uses WordPress’s own smaller versions with a
srcset,
not the full-size original, so a page of thumbnails is a fraction of the weight. - A full-screen viewer with swipe, arrow keys and zoom, loaded on the first click rather than
on every page. - Filter by tag. Tags belong to the photograph, so one applied in a gallery follows that image
everywhere it appears. The filter searches the whole gallery, not only the page on screen. - Pagination, with the full-screen viewer still able to run through every page.
- Camera settings under the photograph — camera, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO
and capture time — taken from what WordPress already read when the image was uploaded. You
choose which of them to show, gallery by gallery. - Links to a single photograph. A shared link opens the image it names, whatever page or
filter the person following it lands on. - Albums, which collect galleries behind a cover image and get their own page.
- Blocks for galleries and albums, plus shortcodes for classic editors and page builders.
- Per-gallery options for share buttons, a download link, right-click protection, row height
and spacing, which image size to use, and whether titles sit under each photograph, over it, or
nowhere. - No jumping as the page loads. Every image carries its dimensions, so the layout is settled
before the photographs arrive.
Migrating from Envira Gallery
Lichtbild can read Envira Gallery’s records where they lie, without copying or converting
anything, so you can compare the two by toggling a plugin. When you are ready, a migration on
the settings screen moves the galleries onto Lichtbild’s own storage in place: post IDs never
change, so existing shortcodes keep working, and existing permalinks keep resolving. Envira’s
original records are left untouched, and the migration can be rolled back from the same screen.
Lichtbild is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Envira Gallery or Awesome
Motive. „Envira Gallery“ is their product and their trademark. Lichtbild contains no Envira
code; it names Envira only to describe what it can read and what it replaces.
On a site with no Envira history, Lichtbild serves its galleries from /gallery/, /album/ and
/gallery-tag/. A site migrating from Envira keeps Envira’s existing paths, so no indexed URL
moves. Both are overridable through the lichtbild_url_slugs filter.

Blöcke
Dieses Plugin bietet 2 Blöcke.
- Lichtbild Gallery Makes a new Lichtbild gallery, or places one that already exists.
- Lichtbild Album Places an existing Lichtbild album in the post.
Installation
- In Plugins Add New, search for Lichtbild Gallery, install it and activate it. Or
upload the plugin folder to
wp-content/plugins/lichtbild-galleryand activate it there. - Galleries appear under Lichtbild in the admin menu. Create one, add images from your media library, and drag them into order.
- Put it in a post with the Lichtbild Gallery block, or with
[lichtbild-gallery id="123"]in the classic editor.
If Envira Gallery is installed, Lichtbild stays out of its way: the takeover setting under
Settings Lichtbild defaults to handling [envira-gallery] only while Envira is inactive.
FAQ
-
Is any of it paid, and does it need an account?
-
No. Every feature described here is in this plugin. There is no pro version, no licence key, no
sign-up and no upgrade prompt. -
Does it send anything anywhere?
-
No. The plugin talks only to your own site. It contacts no external service, loads no fonts or
scripts from anywhere else, and collects nothing about your visitors. -
Can I try it without installing it?
-
Yes. Open the live demo
to run a throwaway WordPress in your browser with the plugin already installed. Nothing touches
your own site. The media library starts empty, so upload a few photographs of your own. -
Does it need a page builder or a build step?
-
No. There is no bundler and no npm dependency at runtime. PhotoSwipe is bundled.
-
Is the source of the bundled JavaScript included?
-
Yes. Nothing here is generated: every file the plugin ships is the source. PhotoSwipe 5.4.4 is
vendored underassets/vendor/photoswipe/with its MIT licence, and the unminified.esm.js
sources sit beside the.esm.min.jsfiles they were minified from. -
Will migrating from Envira change my URLs?
-
No. The migration renames post types in place and pins the URL paths to the ones already
published, so permalinks and shortcodes keep resolving to the same galleries. -
Can I go back?
-
Yes. The migration leaves Envira’s own records untouched and can be rolled back from the
settings screen, which restores the original post types rather than reconstructing them. -
On the attachment, as a taxonomy, so tagging an image affects it everywhere it appears rather
than only in one gallery.

Änderungsprotokoll
26.8.27
- Galleries can be created directly from the Gallery block by choosing images from the Media
Library. The block stores the new gallery’s ID, so it remains reusable and editable elsewhere. - A per-gallery option can take current titles, captions and alt text from the Media Library,
while keeping the gallery’s own values as fallbacks. - Fixed-column galleries use fewer columns on narrow screens, and the plugin listing now offers
a no-install live demo.
26.8.26
- Fixed: on a new installation, gallery, album and tag permalinks returned 404 until the
permalink settings were saved again. The rules are now rebuilt when the plugin is activated.
26.8.25
- Fixed: deleting the plugin and installing it again could leave migrated galleries in the
database but invisible. They are found again automatically. - Fixed: an album could be made to store a gallery its editor had no permission to open, and the
gallery and album pickers listed other authors‘ unpublished items. - Fixed: the message shown when a gallery page fails to load was empty, and a failed lightbox
load stopped every later image from opening until the page was reloaded. - Fixed: tag filter buttons now report which one is selected to screen readers.
- The migration now warns when a setting it copies alongside the galleries cannot be written.
26.8.24
- Renamed to Lichtbild Gallery. The former name was too close to plugins already in this
directory. Nothing a visitor sees changed: gallery, album and tag URLs stay where they are and
the[envira-gallery]shortcode keeps working. - Galleries, albums and image tags now live under Lichtbild’s own post types and meta keys.
26.8.23
- Envira Gallery’s
[envira-gallery]and[envira-album]shortcodes are now taken over only on
a site that has Envira records. A site that never used Envira registers only Lichtbild’s own two
shortcodes; a site continuing an Envira installation is unaffected. - The
lichtbild_config_sanitizefilter no longer receives the raw form submission as a second
argument. Callbacks get the sanitised settings only.
26.8.22
- Per-gallery Custom CSS has been removed, in line with the Plugin Directory guideline against
storing and printing arbitrary CSS entered through a plugin’s own interface. Style your
galleries in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS instead: a gallery is#lichtbild-<id>and
its wrapper#lichtbild-<id>-wrap, so existing rules keep working once moved. - The upgrade itself deletes no CSS, and
tools/export-custom-css.pyin the source repository
prints what is still stored, ready to paste. Move it before you next save an affected gallery:
saving rewrites that gallery’s settings record, which is where the most recent version of the
CSS lives on a site migrated from Envira Gallery. - Translations now come from translate.wordpress.org rather than a catalogue bundled in the
plugin.
26.8.21
- A gallery created on a site that never had Envira Gallery now renders on its own permalink.
It answered with the page title and none of its photographs, because the setting that governs
this fell back to a value only a site migrating from Envira has.
26.8.20
- The currently selected button in the tag filter is legible again. It had been painted in the
same colour as its own background, so the applied tag could not be read. Themes can now set
the pair through the--lichtbild-tag-filland--lichtbild-tag-labelcustom properties.
26.8.19
- Pagination, tag filtering and the lightbox no longer stop working on sites that use full-page
caching, where the nonce a logged-out visitor holds is routinely older than the page. - Deep links to a single image that were shared before the plugin was renamed resolve again.
26.8.18
- Generic URL paths by default for new installs; sites with an Envira history keep the paths
they already publish, recorded once rather than re-derived. - Bundled translations are loaded explicitly, so they apply on WordPress 6.x as well as 7.
- Fixed converted custom CSS targeting a gallery’s wrapper, which produced a selector that
matched no element. - A failed pagination request now says so instead of silently keeping the previous page.
26.8.15
- Galleries and albums are centred in the content column again.
