<p>Easy Photo Publisher complements the Adobe Lightroom Classic add-on <strong>Easy WordPress Publisher</strong>.<br />
Together they form a full publishing pipeline: send images directly from Lightroom to your WordPress site,<br />
update or replace them later, and (optionally) create blog posts using those images.</p>
<p><strong>Highlights</strong><br />
– Direct publish from Lightroom Classic via the companion LrC module<br />
– Create / update / delete media via a simple REST API<br />
– Optional post creation with visibility control and Featured Image<br />
– Gallery Shortcode: <code>[wpdet_gallery]</code> with taxonomy filters, sizing and a11y-friendly captions<br />
– Accessible lightbox (keyboard/ARIA aware), toggled per shortcode<br />
– Media taxonomies: enable Categories and Tags on attachments<br />
– Theme template overrides (HTML-only)<br />
– i18n-ready (<code>easy-wp-publisher</code>)</p>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>
<ol>
<li>In Lightroom Classic, publish an image using the “Easy WordPress Publisher” service.</li>
<li>The image appears in your WordPress Media Library.</li>
<li>On any page or post, insert the gallery shortcode:</li>
</ol>
<p>[wpdet_gallery category=”Portugal” limit=”-1″ order=”DESC” min_width=”240px” gap=”1.5rem” size=”large” class=”” showcaption=”true” lightbox=”true”]</p>
<ul>
<li>limit=”-1″ shows all matching images</li>
<li>showcaption=”true|false” toggles captions</li>
<li>lightbox=”true|false” enables the accessible lightbox</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode Reference: [wpdet_gallery]</h3>
<p><strong>Attributes</strong><br />
– <code>category</code> — Category ID or slug to filter attachments (requires media taxonomies)<br />
– <code>tags</code> — CSV of tag slugs (e.g. <code>tags="portugal,coast"</code>)<br />
– <code>limit</code> — Number of images (default 12). Use <code>-1</code> for all.<br />
– <code>order</code> — <code>ASC</code> or <code>DESC</code> (default <code>DESC</code>)<br />
– <code>size</code> — <code>thumbnail|medium|large|full</code> (or any registered image size)<br />
– <code>min_width</code> — Grid minimum width (CSS value, default <code>200px</code>)<br />
– <code>gap</code> — Grid gap (CSS value, default <code>1.5rem</code>)<br />
– <code>class</code> — Extra CSS classes on the wrapper<br />
– <code>showcaption</code> — <code>true|false</code> (default <code>true</code>)<br />
– <code>lightbox</code> — <code>true|false</code> (default <code>true</code>)</p>
<h3>Markup & Styles</h3>
<ul>
<li>Wrapper template: <code>templates/wrapper.php</code></li>
<li>Item template: <code>templates/gallery.php</code></li>
<li>CSS: <code>templates/css/wpdet-gallery.css</code></li>
<li>Lightbox CSS/JS autoload when <code>lightbox="true"</code></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Theme overrides (HTML-only)</strong></p>
<p>your-theme/<br />
└── wpdet/<br />
    └── templates/<br />
        ├── wrapper.php     (uses tokens: {items}, {min_width}, {gap}, {extra_class})<br />
        └── gallery.php     (uses tokens: {link_open}, {img}, {link_close}, {caption})</p>
<p>If present in a child theme, it’s used first; then the parent theme; finally the plugin fallback.</p>
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>Lightbox uses proper roles (role=”dialog”), aria-modal, labelled controls, focus trapping, and Esc to close.</li>
<li>Close button is keyboard-operable (Enter/Space) and returns focus to the trigger.</li>
<li>Captions are announced via a polite live region.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Media Taxonomies (Categories/Tags on Attachments)</h3>
<p>Enable in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> From Image to WordPress to use core Categories and Tags on media items. This allows taxonomy-filtered galleries.<br />
– Works with the shortcode filters (category, tags)<br />
– Adds taxonomy UI to the Media screens (without duplicating existing columns)</p>
<h3>Validation</h3>
<ul>
<li>MIME types: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/avif</li>
<li>Max size: ~25 MB (configurable in code)</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Media Organizer</strong>. You can now organize your photos in folders and collections. From those collections, you will be able to create galleries easily, without the need of a specific plugin.</p>
<p><strong>Synchronize with Lightroom</strong>. Upload and keep your photos, collections, keywords and metadata synchronized with WordPress. Then, for instance, modifying your photos, their quality, or changing your watermark on all of them at once will be easy!</p>
<p>Learn more about it all here: <a href="https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/" rel="nofollow ugc">Photo Engine</a>.</p>
<h3>Media Organizer</h3>
<p>You can use attributes (collections=’…’, keywords=’…’) in the standard WP Gallery shortcode to link your galleries to your collections and keywords. No need to own a specific plugin or anything, it works naturally with WordPress. The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meow-gallery/" rel="ugc">Meow Gallery</a> and the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meow-lightbox/" rel="ugc">Meow Lightbox</a> are recommended to enhance your galleries with better layouts and options. They can directly get your collections.</p>
<h3>Synchronize with Lightroom</h3>
<p>If your plan is to synchronize Lightroom with WordPress, you will also need the WP/LR Sync Plugin for Lightroom. Please have a look at the official website of <a href="https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/" rel="nofollow ugc">Photo Engine</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Do you have many photos in your WordPress already and they are not linked with your Lightroom? No problem, Photo Engine can do that too. Using EXIF and image perceptual analysis, the plugin will help you linking them through a process call Total Synchronization or you can do it manually. The process is explained here: <a href="https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/tutorial/" rel="nofollow ugc">Total Synchronization</a>.</p>
<p>You are using a certain photo everywhere but you now have a better one? From Lightroom, you can swap one photo to another and this will be replicated automatically on your WordPress. You have nothing else to do. The module is called “Switch Photos” in Lightroom.</p>
<h3>Support for Themes and Plugins</h3>
<p>If you are using specific gallery plugins or photography themes, Photo Engine can bring all the power of Lightroom to them, magically, seamlessly. You will be free to choose the theme or gallery plugin you like the best and even switch between them. Photo Engine has a built-in extensions system so that you can extend it easily and support specific themes and plugins. A powerful extension called “Post Types” is already included and probably does everything you need. More information about it here: <a href="https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/tutorial/" rel="nofollow ugc">Post Types Extension</a>.</p>
<h3>API & External Apps</h3>
<p>There is an external API available through Photo Engine that iPhone, Android developers or anybody else can use to make apps. There is one available for iPhone, you can search for it on the iTunes Store (it is not free, and not made by Meow Apps).</p>
<h3>Unique & Powerful Plugin</h3>
<p>I am myself an user of this plugin and even though it is the only one, I want to make it better every day. If you have issues, frustrations, or anything to say, contact me. I will work hard to make it even more awesome.</p>
<p>Languages: English, Spanish (by <a href="https://nbadiola.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Nahuai Badiola</a>). If you want to translate the plugin in another language, please contact me 🙂</p>
