Editing Item Details

Last Updated: May 23, 2026

Set per-item title, alt text, caption, description, and credit in the Gallery editor — independently of the original WordPress attachment record.

Editing Item EXIF Data

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

Store and edit EXIF metadata per item — camera, aperture, shutter speed, lens, and more. Free installations can display four core fields in the Lightbox; Pro unlocks editing and the full set of display fields.

External Links on Items

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

Set a gallery's click behaviour to open external URLs instead of the Lightbox — with a different URL per item, a shared default, and per-item link target overrides all managed from one screen.

Video Support — Media Library Files

Last Updated: June 10, 2026

Mix video files from your WordPress Media Library into a Gallery alongside photos, each with its own poster image and playback options.

Video Support — YouTube & Vimeo Embeds

Last Updated: June 10, 2026

Add YouTube and Vimeo videos to a Gallery by pasting their link — no upload needed — with per-platform playback options.

Captions

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

Configure how captions appear on Gallery items — control placement, alignment, text sources, font sizes, colors, and length limits for both the title and description lines.

Editing Item Tags, People & Locations

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

Attach tags, people, and location metadata to individual Gallery items. These power frontend filtering, appear in the Lightbox info panel, and form the basis for Pro features like map views and AI facial recognition.

Tags Overview

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

Tags are labels assigned to individual gallery items. They power the filter bar, appear in the Lightbox info panel, drive tag archive pages, feed into search, and contribute descriptive keywords for SEO.

Managing Tags

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

The Tags library is where you manage all tags across your FotoGrids installation — rename, delete, merge, and search from one place. Changes take effect immediately across every Gallery that uses those tags.

Managing People

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

The People library is where you manage all person entries across your FotoGrids installation — rename, add details, delete, and merge from one place. With FotoGrids Pro, these entries also power AI-assisted facial recognition.

Managing Locations

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

The Locations library is where you manage all location entries across your FotoGrids installation. Add GPS coordinates to enable map previews in the item editor and map-based Gallery views in Pro.
