Description
The Envira Gallery Importer Addon allows you to upload ZIP files of photos directly into Envira Gallery, extracting the package on the server and generating a ready gallery without uploading images individually via the WordPress media library. This add-on also transfers galleries between installations via export files, replicating settings, order of images and metadata when you migrate projects between development, staging and production environments.
