    Is there a nice photo gallery plugin for a multisite that can share one picture database?

    (The ‘network shared media’ plugin does not work in the Galleries I’ve tried so far).

    Sharing media across the network is undesirable. WordPress wasn’t meant to do it and it will slow your site down.

    You may want to make a special site just for the photo gallery and have everything run from that.

    Thank you for your reply!

    When using Multilingual Press, WP is installed one time but uses for each site different databases. A gallery plugin is also installed also just one time, but can used and configured separately at each lauguage site/section.

    If I can specify for such a Gallery plugin the folder in which the pictures are stored, then I only would have to use the same path in such a config for each language section/site.
    However, in the free Picture Gallery plugins I did not see such an option, but it might be possible, that a payware Gallery plugin could have such an option.
    So, I’m asking here if someone knows a fine Gallery plugin with such an option.

    Ugh.

    Well this is why Multisite sucks for multiple languages. There isn’t one.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-shared-media/ is the most decent plugin for it and I don’t think it does what you mean.

    Thank you!

    Yes, I have installed that plugin; unfortunately, almost all gallery plugins I tried, do not see the extra option that plugin offers – sharing media.

    Well, OK, I’ll have to accept that.
    I’ve another question for a gallery, but will open a new thread for that.

    Kind regards,
