UnGallery displays your directories of images as a browsable WordPress gallery. The advantage of UnGallery is there is there is no gallery management required in WordPress. You just point the plugin to a directory of photos and they are immediately viewable via an existing WordPress site. Any uploads, deletions, or edits you make to your photos and directory organization are automatically reflected in WordPress. If you’ve ever had to reorganize galleries after publishing, you know how inconvenient it is to return to a web tool to correct the paths, relink the thumbnails, update titles, etc. With UnGallery, you can restructure entire galleries, edit a dozen party pic red-eyes, rename an event or remove individual photos and each of these changes is automatically live in WordPress.

To display a caption over a gallery, add a file named banner.txt to that directory with the desired text. The file can include plain text or html. If no banner.txt is found, the name of the directory used. To mark a gallery hidden, enter a name for hidden galleries on the UnGallery administration page. Any directories you create named “hidden”, will not be visible via normal gallery browsing. A direct link may be sent to provide access to hidden galleries. You can include UnGallery images in other areas of your WordPress site or other sites by embedding the URL from UnGallery into the external site.
