How-to: Installing a Web Engine
“Web engine” is the proper name for what is sometimes called a web gallery template or plugin for Lightroom’s web module. Web engines are easily identifiable as packages or folders ending with the extension .lrwebengine. When installed properly into Lightroom, and Lightroom has been restarted, web engines will appear in the “Engine” list in the upper right-hand corner of the Web module control panel.
Installation for all web engines is the same.
-
Download and extract the template zip archive. The web engine will be a package or folder ending in .lrwebengine.
-
Copy the .lrwebengine package to one of the following destinations, depending upon your system. If you have not already done so, you may need to create the Web Galleries folder manually.
On Mac
Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Galleries/On Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\On Windows Vista & Windows 7
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\On Windows platforms, the “Application Data” directory is usually hidden. You must enable “show hidden folders” in the folder options before you can browse to it.
-
Open Adobe Lightroom and access the Web module. In the upper right, under “Engine”, you should see the newly installed gallery, as shown below, highlighted in orange.
