Envira Gallery Image Licensing Addon

Description

The Image Licensing addon adds six variations of Creative Commons licenses to Envira Gallery (CC BY, CC BY-NC, CC BY-ND, CC BY-SA, and combinations with NonCommercial and ShareAlike), as well as an optional author name field configurable in the Image Licensing tab of the base plugin settings. The chosen terms automatically appear below each published gallery and album, and the component also includes SEO-optimized deeplinking for individual photos, recommended for photographers, illustrators, and visual content creators who release images under open licenses.

Main Features

• Six Creative Commons licenses
  Includes CC BY, CC BY-NC, CC BY-ND, CC BY-SA, and ready-to-select NonCommercial ShareAlike variants.
• Dedicated tab in Envira Settings
  Centralizes all licensing configuration in a single screen of the admin panel.
• Automatic display in galleries
  Renders the license notice below each published gallery and album without manual adjustment.
• Optional author field
  Allows recording the creator’s name to link authorship credit to displayed images.
• SEO-compatible deeplinking
  Adds license metadata and search information to each photo page individually.

Benefits of the Image Licensing Addon

• Usage documentation without rework
  Defines the rules once in the settings and applies them across all site galleries.
• Authorship credit preserved
  Keeps the photographer’s name associated with images, reducing the risk of misuse without attribution.
• More signals for search engines
  Individual photos gain structured metadata that assists with indexing and organic discovery.
• Consistent set with other protections
  Works alongside watermark, gallery password, and right-click blocking from the base plugin.

Who Is It For?

• Professional photographers maintaining online portfolios who need to communicate terms of use for each image.
• Image banks, visual libraries, and archives distributing photos under open Creative Commons licenses.
• Editorial sites, blogs, and content creators relying on transparency about copyright for published images.

Designed for those who need to document authorship and usage conditions without editing each image individually, the addon fits into the familiar Envira Gallery workflow and eliminates per-gallery configurations. Combined with watermark, password protection, and right-click blocking from the base plugin, it completes a consistent set of measures to distribute photos with clear rules.
