External services This plugin connects to a self-hosted Immich server that you configure in Settings > Immich. Immich is a self-hosted photo and video management solution — it runs on your own infrastructure and is not a third-party cloud service, but the connection is disclosed here for transparency. What data is sent and when Browsing and searching: When a logged-in WordPress user opens the Immich media picker or searches for photos, the plugin sends API requests (search queries, page numbers, and person filter IDs) to your Immich server. Importing or using media: When a user selects an asset to import or use, the plugin fetches the original file or metadata from the Immich server using the asset’s UUID. Proxying media to visitors: When a site visitor views a page containing Immich-proxied images or videos, WordPress fetches the media from your Immich server on their behalf. Visitor data is not sent to Immich — only the stored asset UUID and your API key are used server-side. All communication uses the API key you configure in WordPress. The API key is never exposed to browsers.

Add a template to NextGEN Gallery that provides multiple-file downloads for trade/media galleries. NextGEN Gallery is one of the best gallery plugins for WordPress because it is very flexible and has a nice, simple admin. This plugin adds a new gallery template that lets you select multiple images from the gallery to be downloaded as a ZIP archive. NB: the Photocrati version of NextGEN Gallery can impact the performance of your server, and not all of the old plugin’s functionality works. You might want to consider using NextCellent Gallery instead — it’s a fork of the original NextGEN Gallery with continued support and compatibility, without the performance impacts. NextGEN Download Gallery is targetted at creating “Trade/Media” areas on websites, allowing journalists to easily download multiple product images. It’s apparently very popular with photographers too.

Some PHP code was copied from NextGEN Gallery and altered, so that the nggtags shortcode could be extended as nggtags_ext and specify a gallery template.
