Hi, thanks for sorting the redirector problem out, but I notice the 403 Forbidden message is showing at the top of the page again, which wasn’t there prior to your trying to sort the gallery out. How do we get rid of this?

Hi Tassie. I have never accessed you administration section due do the redirection problem. You have another problem there, and I can’t help you until you sort it out.
I responded to your email requesting the full FTP login details, sent you the details and haven’t touched the website. Now it is no longer redirecting but has the Forbidden error back on the front page, which was there following your first login and attempt to fix the gallery. It’s no longer redirecting, so as nobody else but yourself has been working on the website, I can only assume that you repaired that via the FTP?
No worries,we’ll do a complete reinstall of WP and the entire directory, then get back to you re imagepress. :-/
I just told you I did not touch your FTP. I usually don’t try to fix plugins on broken sites.
Great plugin and, from what I’ve read from the users, great support too! I’ve just installed it and it’s newbie friendly so far (a great feature for people like me who are not all that code savvy). How do you add the description to the bottom of the images? Our users need to be able to give a brief description of the photo. I’ve installed JQuery Colorbox as suggested, but don’t see a way to do it there either. Thanks!
When you add an image, there is a description field. The description appears in the single image page. Follow the documentation steps to add a single-user_images.php file to your WordPress theme.
Basically, you need to duplicate the single.php file, rename it to single-user_images.php and add the code inside the /documentation/ folder.
Ok…I copied the single.php file from my theme and renamed it single-user_images.php and put the copied version in my child theme. Is that right so far? Am I supposed to add an additional code to the copied php file? I’m using pages to show the pictures instead of posts if that makes a difference. Thanks!
I tried it like that and it didn’t work. I also deleted all the code out of the file and replaced it with all the code from the /documentation/single-user_images.php that came with the plugin. That didn’t work either. I missing something somewhere. Help?
Ok here’s what I did on the third try. I found the PDF and followed the instructions the best I could. So…I copied the theme’s single.php to the child theme and renamed it single-user_images.php. I copied the code that says “begin imagepress code”...down to “end image press code” and put it in the newly created single-user_images.php. right above ”<?php the_content(); ?>”. Updated the file and still no descriptions for the photos. I don’t see where I’m missing it. I guess I’m on hold until you can help me out. I’m using pages to show the pictures instead of posts if that makes a difference. Thanks!
The light finally came on about what you were saying about the description showing on the single page. That part is working fine except the picture takes up the whole page. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.:( What I’m really looking for is how to put the description on the light box card either in the masonry view or on the light box card when you click on the individual picture from the masonry view instead of the user going to the single page to see the description. Thanks!
.
Hello. I’m online again, I was away on Sunday. So, right now you can’t add the description to the lightbox or the masonry boxes. I’ll take a look today and add this option on my dev server.
Could you contact me via email (getbutterfly [at] gmail [dot] com) so we can chat in more detail? It’s doable and it’s easy to implement.
Any word on making this happen yet? Thanks!
Hi again
When I use the category filter I get all sorts of layout problems. Image spacing behaves unpredictably with large gaps (see http://bit.ly/1aXreL8)
Each month is set up as a category and then I’m using the following
<h2>October 2013</h2> [imagepress-show category="october-2013-events" sort="none" author="no"] <h2>November 2013</h2> [imagepress-show category="november-2013-events" sort="none" author="no"] <h2>December 2013</h2> [imagepress-show category="december-2013-events" sort="none" author="no"]
I want the images to line up 3 columns per row, and then align from left to right on following rows. When I remove the category=”X” filter everything is ok.
What am I doing wrong, or how can I fix this?
Note: use following login credentials to view site user: test pass: malbec
Try using categories on different pages, I did not tested it with multiple category shortcodes on the same page. I will test it and possibly fix it tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for the link.
Hi, any luck with testing this? The client wants the categories on the same page like that.
Please let me know if you’ve had any progress with this. Thanks
It is fixed! I have added a unique identifier to each category container. I’m uploading the new version now.
Oh wow, excellent! Thanks, that’s great 
You can see it working on this page – http://getbutterfly.com/wordpress-plugins/imagepress/ – it should be live on CodeCanyon tonight or tomorrow morning.
Is that it with the categories Animals, Funny, Landscapes? Yes, that looks really good.
Great work!
That’s exactly it! Now wait for the update notification.
Cheers!
Hey, thanks for the update. I just applied it and for the most part it’s a whole lot better.
But could you just take a look at the page again and let me know what’s causing the bottom row of images to still display a gap in column 2 rather than in column 3
Cheers 
That is actually correct. The middle image is just a bit lower, that’s why the 2 images below get aligned to the left and right. Images (using the Masonry plugin) are looking for free space ABOVE them, not to the sides.
Hmmm… I mean the December 2013 section. There are only 5 images in that category so I would expect 3 images on the top row and then two images in the bottom row with an image in column 1 and column 2, leaving column 3 empty. It’s not a big issue because it still looks tidy, but I was surprised as there are no more images.
I’ll add some more and see how it shapes up, but it’s a huge improvement on before so thanks!
I know exactly what you mean, and this is how Masonry works. Even if the first-row-second-column image is several pixels lower than the other ones, the second row will placd images to its left and right. If there are more images, they will arrange properly. Usually, the plugin works best with different height images.
Please could you check your emails and reply? My website has been down since you logged in to fix the gallery and I don’t know what has happened to it. I have clients waiting for the site to be finished, so it’s pretty urgent!
Replied!
Hi, is this easy to integrate with this contest plugin http://codecanyon.net/item/mycontest-premium-contest-plugin-for-wordpress/4683159 ? If yes, then That would be neat! Let me know
thanks
ALso, is this compatible with this plugin http://codecanyon.net/item/social-image-tagger-wordpress-plugin/5749015
I don’t think they are compatible. I don’t really know, never used those plugins.
So with this plugin, its possible to start a full fledged image submission site? And may i ask, what is the dev roadmap for this plugin?
It is, just like you see on my site and on the bottom links (“In the wild”). This plugin is actively developed, bugs are squashed and I am releasing a new update every 2 or 3 months.
Hi, I love this plugin and really want to get it to work, but I’m currently experiencing a few problems. I’m using ‘Striking Theme’ and the Jquery Colorbox plugin, I have the image behaviour setting set to, ‘Open Media Image (recommended)’ but the images on my gallery page look really mucked up like this:
http://modelaford.solutionz-testing.co.nz/member-gallery/Secondly, the ‘Sort by category’ and ‘Sort by author’ filters aren’t working, even though all of my images have been assigned a category.
I’d really appreciate your help, because I can see by your demo that once the plugin is working as it should, it’s a great gallery with lots of useful features.
Cheers Alison
I think I know what the error is, and it’s related to encoding. Nothing for you to do, I’ll just released a workaround version for the filtering dropdowns. Hopefully this fix will the mucked up images.
Actually, the style for .mtli_attachment{} mucks up everything. I have deleted them using my Chrome inspector and everything looks correct, so why do your images have this class? Feel free to contact me via email so we can fix everything.
thanks for your help, I’ve been working today, will email you now. 
OK dude, so you know I love this plugin but I still have just one issue (and also one suggestion).
I mentioned to you before about the lightbox not taking effect on the homepage (on this site http://bit.ly/1ds7Rue ) although it works internally and you said it might be because certain plugins don’t work outside the loop etc. Fair point. However, can you suggest a way I can use the Imagepress shortcodes in the sidebar or other pages and ensure they get lightboxed? Eg. is there anyway I can do something like `[imagepress top rel”lightbox”]` or equivalent so that lightbox plugins activate on it?
The reason I need this is because the Imagepress widgets don’t seem to work for me – the image doesn’t seem to show up so I have to use the shortcode instead.
Now the suggestion:
Is it possible to enable a custom fields builder which lets us add 3 or 4 fields to the upload form which will show up on the image details card below the images in the masonry grid? And possibly hide some fields? E.g. I’m working on a site with a single user so the Author link wouldn’t be necessary. That would be fantastic!
Cheers
What lightbox plugin are you using? Contact me via email and I’ll help you sort out everything! Cheers!
I’d like to upload images to another gallery that is not the wordpress. Could facilitate the function call with the parameters needed?. Is this possible?
It’s not possible. ImagePress uses WordPress native posts table, so it integrates better.
Ok. Another question. I have to upload 200 photos. I would like to automate it. What I can do? Thanks in advance
I think it’s possible, let me look into it.
Contact me via email, please, I will build a bulk image import module for ImagePress.
Hi there
There is an issue on image upload
I understand some mobile devices aren’t supported to upload to the web by default. But there is some devices that support uploading just like any pc device such as galaxy s 2 running version 4.1 and it can’t click the choose image link Nothing will happen
There something wrong causing this issue
Any help please ???
I think I know what it is. It’s about the input field customization. I’m working on an update which will be released on Wednesday.
Very good
Can you also add the URL parameters to ( page view ) and search ??
I’m running a photography class and looking for a plugin where my students can upload their weekly photography assignments. Your plugin looks as if it’s the perfect answer!!
Question – I noticed in the comments some folks were asking about lightboxes…. does this plugin use the existing media components of WordPress or are there other plugins I should install along with this one. I don’t mind installing other plugins – just checking before I get started so I don’t get partway through installation and set up and realize I need to go get more “parts”.
The plugin does not have an integrated lightbox due to obvious issues (conflicts with existing themes or plugins). I am using (and recommending) a free WordPress plugin called jQuery Colorbox – http://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-colorbox/ – which works perfectly with ImagePress.
Also, as a personal opinion, this is he perfect lightbox plugin, never had any problem with it.
Thanks!! I’ve got ImagePress up and running – and my students start testing their uploads tomorrow night.
Question – I’ve got a slider feature on my homepage… will the shortcodes work in the sliders?
Thanks butterflymedia for an AWESOME plugin 
Still some room for improvement though.
On my wishlist:- Upload form reloads with error message if user happens to forget e.g. title. That means all the contents clears, and user will have to type it in again. This is form behaviour we all distaste I believe.
- Confirmation upon upload is very elusive, and causes users to upload images several times. TIP! To improve it a bit I increased the amount of time the upload confirmation is displayed and its font size. In imagepress.php around line 148 look for
$out.= '<p>'.__('Image uploaded!', 'imagepress').'</p>';and inline style the text to be bigger. And on line 149 look for$out .= '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '">';and increase the value 3 for upload confirmation to display longer. HOWEVER it would be much better to have a clear checkmark graphic + text OR a colored confirmation notice box or something like that. - Upload is not responsive in the sense that it is impossible to upload images from phone/tablet.
- Some strings not added to .POT file and thus not translatable. Notably ‘Sort by author’ and text in the single-user_images.php’.
As soon as the above is fixed I’ll definitely rate it at 5 stars (4 stars for now)
Keep up da good work.
Thanks E.
I’m working on it as we speak, E! Thank you for your interest.
Cool looking forward to it 
Version 2.5 (ready tonight) will bring responsive upload, required caption and fixed translated strings. Not sure about the confirmation yet, I’ll add a CSS class to it for now.
Awesome! Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for a great effort 
You’re welcome! Don’t forget to rate it!
YOU ROCK
!!! Upload tested on Android 4.1 and iOS 6.14. Works Perfectly. All my issues resolved Rated at 5/5.
TIP TO EVERYONE! Since your users will start uploading their kazillion megapixel images from their smart phones, consider the nifty free plugin ‘Resize Image after Upload’ from the Official Wordpress plugin repository, to automatically have wordpress size down uploaded images on-the-fly for proper display in single view + save some server disk space. Works great for me with Imagepress (another reason for butterflymedia to stay with the standard Wordpress media manager).
Hi, I used the free color box plugin,
On clicking Imagepress Images it takes me directly to my attachment page.. THEN if I click that it shows the color box.
How can I make the color box show first thing when I click the image press Images? Here is an example: http://thevibeisgood.com/about-us/
Thanks
There’s an option in the settings to either point it to the image or the attachment page.
Also, see your HTML view, you added the shortcode inside tags. Delete them.
it’s fixed, thanks!
How do I remove the like and view count? I just want to display my sample artworks
You can’t right now, but I’ll add an option this weekend and update the plugin.
Also, you did not remove the tags, and the font is ugly (monospaced).
I still haven’t had an answer to this.
jQuery lightbox works on the page where I have used the ImagePress show all shortcode (see http://bit.ly/18jUTxa), but Lightbox doesn’t kick in when I use the ImagePress “Top” shortcode for the homepage http://bit.ly/1ds7Rue (the “Members’ most popular image” section in the middle – currently a girl dressed in carnival costume)
Please advise how come that shortcode doesn’t get picked up by the Lightbox and how to fix.
Thanks
I’m sure it depends on the Lightbox you’re using. Some lightboxes don’t pick up images in certain area of your site, such as outside the loop.
Is there anywhere I can find information on what new features/fixes this update addresses?
Thanks

You’re welcome.
I’m interested in this plugin, but I want to know if it is possible to allow only a certain type of users to upload images, ie that only users can upload images SUBSCRIBER AND ADMINISTRATOR type, other types of user. Is it possible?
It is not possible via the plugin directly, but you can combine it with a roles/capabilities plugin in order to achieve your goal.
missing 2 more features and this script is awsome
1- mobile support 2- image url under each thub instead of navigating to the image on a new page ( and option to copy link to clipboard )
willing to pay extra if you can do this 2 features 
can you add the url function copy to clipboard etc ???
i think mobile support depends on the theme we have on wordpress
thanks
The image URL under image is easy to do. Right now the plugin is queued for another update, but I’ll force another one next week. Mobile support depends, indeed, on the theme you’re using.
ok can you add the direct image url under each image inside an input field in the next update ?
Like this ^
Sure thing. I know what you mean, just like image embedding fields.
Yup please can you add this feature 
hi there, when will i see the image url feature ???
please tell me a time or date so i can be waiting for it
are you guys gonna implement this feature anytime soon ????
Be patient. An update is coming, in the next 2 days.
Thank you. We,ll wait 
is there any time frame for the update to be available ???
I have added a parameter – [imagepress-show url=”1”] – but the plugin will be updated tomorrow (version 2.4). Cheers!
nice , waiting for the update ( can you send me the files if its ready
ive been waiting for long for this feature
Are you guys on schedule 
Waiting for the update since the morning
when will the update be available ??? how long more should we wait ?
The update is “Temporarily held by the review team.” Please be patient.
Can you email it to me ? 
Is this gonna take a lot until the review team approve it ??
Can u email it to me ?
It should be up tomorrow morning. There was an error from Envato. I can’t email it to you as it’s against the policy.
THANKS FOR THE GREATE SUPPORT
ONE QUES ?
HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER WHICH ALL UPLOADED PICS ARE IN ???
I DONT WANT IT TO APPEAR IN WP-CONENT/UPLOAD ETC CAN I FOR EXAMPLE MAKE THE CONTIANED FOLDER
/UPLOAD INSTEAD OF /WP-CONTENT/UPLOAD
IS THIS POSSIBLE ?
It is not possible. The plugin uses WordPress native upload functions.
Hi!
Is there any way I can add a like button in the lightbox? I’m using colorbox. And also, is there a way I can make the vote element act like a Facebook Like button?
Another thing, instead of using a lightbox, what can I do to add links to the photos. So when someone clicks on a photo, he is redirected to a specific link and not the photo’s page.
Here’s the imagepress gallery I’m talking about: http://gourmandelle.com/gourmandelles-tested-recipes
The first thing depends on the lightbox plugin. You will have to find one with this feature.
The second request is not possible. It’s either the direct image link (lightbox) or the photo’s page (attachment).
Feel free to contact me via email, maybe I can help you with your second request.
ImagePress images on my site aren’t opening in a lightbox as in your demo. Does ImagePress have lightbox functionality included or do we need to install our own lightbox plugin?
You need to install a free plugin, jQuery Colorbox 4.x.
Cheers! I suspected as such, just wanted to check I hadn’t missed an option in the settings. 
Cheers!
Back to this Lightbox question.
jQuery lightbox works on the page where I have used ImagePress show all (http://bit.ly/18jUTxa), but Lightbox doesn’t kick in when I use the ImagePress “Top” shortcode for the homepage http://bit.ly/1ds7Rue (the “Members’ most popular image” section in the middle)
Have you got any suggestions on how I can get it to work on the homepage
Hi, can you help with this please? Thanks
Hi, is it possible to add videos in a gallery with pictures? Because if it’s possible, I buy it right away! I await your news.
No, it’s only for images. Videos would require a completely diferrent plugin. The “VideoPress” name is already taken, so I’ll have to find another one. 
Hi
I use an image resizing plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/imsanity/) on a client’s site to reduce the dimensions and jpeg compression of images as they are uploaded. It drastically reduces the size of images even further than just setting a maximum upload size.
However, it doesn’t seem to get applied to ImagePress uploads. How can we get ImagePress images to work through Imsanity?
Thanks
Correction – ImagePress does work with Imsanity. My apologies
Great 
Hi again
When a visitor clicks the name of the person who uploaded a picture on the showall page and lands on the single page with all pictures from that author, is there anyway to display that landing page with all those pictures as a gallery rather than a list of posts?
No. You’d need to write an author template yourself.
Fair enough. Here’s a suggestion though.
On our site we have over 200 members and hope that will grow. We’ve had to set your author=”no” filter on ImagePress because with that many members it becomes a little bit cumbersome.
So it would be very useful if clicking on the author name produced the same result as filtering that author in the Ajax Masonry gallery.
I hope that makes sense.
That’s what I’m trying to do in the next update. So, stay tuned.
Great! Any idea when that will be roughly?
Cheers 
This week.
