Twelve thousand files called IMG_4471.
Your photos are on your site. Finding one is another matter. JMGallery gives every photo and video its own fields, so a library becomes an archive you can search.
One email when JMGallery is released. Nothing else, ever.

Fields you decide on, not fields we decided for you.
Most gallery plugins give you a caption and a tag. Your archive probably needs Location, People, Year, and whatever else your collection actually has. Add fields in eight types, and choose for each one whether it shows as a column, a filter, or in captions.
Tag a shoebox in one pass.
Click any cell to edit it, press Tab for the next one. Or select a few hundred at once and set a field across all of them. Multi-value fields let you add a name without disturbing the names already there.
Build a display once, drop it anywhere.
Pick which items appear by filtering on any field, then set the layout, captions and click behaviour. Save it and you get a shortcode. Add a search box and filter dropdowns and your visitors can dig through the archive themselves.
What’s free, and what isn’t.
The free plugin is a complete archive tool, not a demo. Pro is for people running this as part of a business.
