In a stunning move, Nathan Singh who previously bought Envira Gallery and Soliloquy Slider from Syed Balkhi, has now purchased Imagely.
This purchase unites two of the largest WordPress Gallery plugins, Envira Gallery and NextGEN Gallery under one roof. Based on Nathan’s previous purchase of Envira Gallery and Soliloquy Slider, expect Imagely to drop their lifetime price.

Imagely announced that the plugin will remain on its own or merge with Envira Gallery. In a similar move, Pretty Links Pro purchased ThirstyAffiliates in November 2019. As someone who uses both Pretty Links Pro and ThirstyAffiliates, I’m keen to see either the codebases merged or the ability to import ThirstyAffiliates’ links into Pretty Links Pro.
On the other hand, if you’re in the market for alternative WordPress galleries, check out FooGallery and Modula Gallery. They’re both amazing gallery plugins on their own.
Imagely / NextGEN Gallery is having a 30% discount if you’re planning to grab their lifetime license.
This take over is a dam good reason to boycott Imagely. Their support is hopeless and the annual cost ridiculous.
ah, the lifetime tier has been removed I see 🙁
