Hi, I use wordpress multisite for my website.
Site A is with Langage A – Ste B is with langage B etc…They use same serveur same domain name but a.domainname.com and b.domainname.com
We use Multilingualpress plugin to “clone” each new post from A to B and translate them. Everything works fine exept Gallery.
We are not able to copy or clone Gallery. So with each gallery we have to copy all images from A to B and insert them on B website.
Any idea or solution for example to use the same shortcode / same gallery on site A & site B ?
Regards
Hi,
You’re facing a common issue in WordPress Multisite setups when dealing with media content, especially galleries. Since each site in a multisite has its own media library, galleries created in Site A (subsite A) don’t automatically work in Site B. Here are some practical solutions or workarounds:
1: Use a Gallery Plugin That Supports External URLs: Modula Gallery or Envira Gallery (Pro).
Option 2: Use “Network Shared Media” Plugin. Install: Network Shared Media
This lets Site B access images uploaded to Site A directly via the Media Library:
– insert Site A’s images into Site B’s post
– keep using your current gallery setup
Thank you!
Your the best!
What would be your recommandation?
With option 2 may I still use the same gallery short code on site A and site B ?
Many thanks!
Hi,
Yes, with the Network Shared Media plugin, you can use images from Site A in Site B and keep using your current gallery setup, but: if your gallery shortcode uses attachment IDs (like [gallery ids="123,124"]), those IDs are site-specific and won’t work across subsites.
If your gallery plugin supports URLs or manual image selection, you can reuse the same shortcode or setup on both sites.
Best case: Your gallery plugin works with image URLs — then it works fine.
If not: You may need to reinsert images or use a plugin like Modula or Envira Pro.
Ok,
so in my case :
[gallery td_gallery_title_input="Scimitar Elite Wireless SE Unboxing" size="large" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="220213,220214,220215,220216,220217,220218"]
So, I guess I need to use Modula or Envira Pro…But (my last question, I promise), use these plugins is not dangerous for SEO? I mean images are located elsewhere right ?
Using Modula or Envira Pro is not harmful to SEO, as long as you upload the images to your media library and include proper alt text. By default, the images remain hosted on your domain. However, I can’t say for certain whether switching from your current gallery plugin to a new one will have any SEO impact.
many thanks !
