A must-have for all professional photographers
by eriksvec·6 months ago
As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve always struggled to keep my photos and portfolio on my website up to date.
Photo Engine allows me to easily organize my photos in the backend into folders and collections — something I’ve been missing all these years in WordPress.
But the real magic happens when combining it with the WP/LR Sync plugin for Lightroom. Even though it’s a paid plugin, it’s worth every penny. Now I can easily synchronize photos in Lightroom and push them directly to my WordPress website.
These two plugins are a must-have for all professional photographers using WordPress. In times like these, we need to automate everything we can. And besides AI culling and editing, this was the missing piece I’d been looking for all these years.
I highly recommend Photo Engine and WP/LR Sync plugins.

Won’t Work With Wordfence
by jamesszuch·7 months ago·4 replies
Wordfence is blocking the file transfer and the FAQ is pretty useless on this point.
So if you are using Wordfence, or I suspect any other firewall plugin, you’ll need to debug this yourself to get the rules to work.
If you have neither the skill, time, or inclination, skip this.

Handy for bloated old media, when deleting orphaned files is a dangerous chore.
Wer Lightroom nutzt wird es lieben /Those who use Lightroom will love it

I have been using the plugin Gallery and some others from jordy meow for several years.
Perfect Images, Photo Engine, Meow Gallery and…
Now it’s time to say thank you. My day-to-day work has been made much easier as I can work directly from Lightroom and create beautiful Gallerys for my Photo-Website. . Now it’s time to upgrade to the pro versions. Google is placing more and more emphasis on mobile performance and speed. So I will now convert my images to AVIF and webP in the future and gain storage space and performance. Thanks for your work. The plugins I use are Gallery, Perfect Images and Foto-Engine. This is my personal rating, created by me!
