WPARTARCHIVE

Home

The artwork archive, portfolio, and lightweight shop plugin — built for artists, galleries, and studios on WordPress.

WPArtArchive turns WordPress into a purpose-built home for your body of work: artworks, series, and exhibitions with real structure — searchable, filterable, and ready to sell from, without locking you into a bloated e-commerce plugin you don’t need.

Built for how artists actually organize work

Most WordPress galleries are just image grids. WPArtArchive gives every artwork real fields — media, size, year, sale status, price — and groups them into Series (or Collections, if you prefer that word) and Exhibitions, the way you already think about your own work.

Artworks

Media, size, year, status, price and a custom thumbnail — plus any ACF field you want to add.

Series / Collections

Group related work with its own featured image, year range and description — one taxonomy, labeled however you like on the front end.

Exhibitions

Promote a specific show — gallery, address, opening/reception dates — kept separate from your ongoing series.

Display it your way

Grid, masonry, list or card — every layout is shortcode-driven, so it drops straight into the block editor, Bricks, Elementor, Divi, or a classic PHP theme. A built-in PhotoSwipe lightbox, an (i) info popup, and a live filter/search bar are included, no extra plugin needed.

A shop, without the overhead

WPArtArchive never processes a single payment. Visitors add pieces to a simple cart and check out directly through your own PayPal or Venmo — no merchant account integration, no transaction fees to the plugin, no cart storing your data on someone else’s server. The whole cart lives in the visitor’s browser.

Free core. Optional PRO.

WPArtArchive core is free and complete on its own — post types, series, exhibitions, every display shortcode, the filter bar, and the shopping cart. WPArtArchive PRO adds bundled ACF PRO (no separate purchase), a private Location History log, a Detail Images gallery per artwork, an Advanced Settings screen, and a Templates screen for customizing every HTML output.
