About this plugin

DarkUploader closes the gap between Darktable and WordPress. Edit your photos in Darktable, select your target gallery / library, export them, and they land in WordPress ready to publish.

How it works

  1. Edit your photos in Darktable as usual.
  2. Export them with the DarkWP companion script for Darktable.
  3. Pick a target gallery and export. DarkUploader receives the images over a REST endpoint on your site and puts them in the default folders.

DarkUploader requires the free DarkWP script to be installed in Darktable to upload the photos. DarkUploader is the WordPress side that receives it.

Supported galleries

  • WordPress Media Library
  • NextGEN Gallery
  • Meow Gallery
  • FooGallery

Every upload can carry a title, alt text, description, and caption, though which of those fields are used depends on what the target gallery plugin itself supports.

Features

  • One-click export from Darktable straight into WordPress
  • Upload into an existing gallery, or create a new one on the fly
  • Per-image title, alt text, caption, description, and tags with placeholder support
  • Batch uploads
  • Configurable maximum upload size
  • Upload history and statistics, with configurable log retention
  • Extensible adapter system for adding support for other gallery plugins

For developers

DarkUploader ships with an adapter system so you can register support for a gallery plugin it doesn’t cover out of the box:

  • darkuploader_supported_galleries — filter to register your own gallery adapter.
