Hi @goldenagemedia,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
I’m sorry for any confusion caused. Our goal is to provide as much value as possible to our users by highlighting features available in the paid version because a lot of users aren’t aware of them and can benefit greatly.
With Envira Gallery Lite, website owners can:
- Use the Automatic (justified) layout with adjustable row height and margins
- Display galleries in up to 6 columns
- Build responsive, mobile-friendly image galleries with our drag-and-drop builder, and more
To learn a bit more about what’s included in the free version, please click here.
We really appreciate you for giving us a try and if you have any suggestions for the things you’d like to see in the Lite version, please let me know and I’d be happy to share your feedback with the team.
Thanks!
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your response. While I appreciate your point, there is no confusion here, it’s simply misleading information on a plugin claiming to be “free”.
To extract a paragraph of text from the plugin description word for word, it says:
Beautiful Gallery Layouts
…Envira Gallery includes:
Masonry — Pinterest-style image gallery layout
Grid — Clean, uniform photo gallery grid
Justified — Edge-to-edge image gallery rows
Square — Uniform square thumbnails
Mosaic — Dynamic, eye-catching gallery pattern
Blogroll — Full-width image gallery layout for blogs
As the free plugin is called “Envira Gallery” in the heading, the paragraph above suggests it’s talking about this plugin specifically, not the pro version. Having then installed the plugin, I would expect to be able to change the layouts to Masonry, Grid, Mosaic etc., but these are all blocked behind a paywall.
This is misleading practice and very disappointing to see.
