Your plugin seems perfect for me, but I can’t get it to work.
I have 2 pages:
One has this:
[imagepress-add]
I can add images fine through this page and I can see them in the back end.
I also have another page with both tags below display the images(niether of them work):
[imagepress-show category=”landscapes”]
[imagepress-show]
but when viewing page, both tags tell me “No images in this category!”
I have 3 images one in the ‘landscapes’ category and the other images in the ‘elk’ category.
I have tried re-saving permalinks. I am still getting this error.
What am I missing to view theh images on the front end?
Please help!

Hi!
We have purchased and installed this plugin and can’t seem to get some of the initial/basic features to work.
Here is where we have it installed:
http://wildlandfire.csm.cc/photos/1. The “Comments” don’t seem to work. If clicked, it just goes to a blank page/blank thread:
http://wildlandfire.csm.cc/user_images/image-test-4/#disqus_threadI am guessing this is because of the theme we are using and what they have done to the single.php? We are using Optimas:
http://themeforest.net/item/optimas-responsive-wordpress-theme/6648584I’m not really sure how to solve the issue :\.
2. When you click on the images, they just “Pop up” – no image box/lightbox type of effect – this is on either setting selected. IS this display correct?
Thank you so much!
oh!
Also, the Widget in the footer does not display any thumbnails either.. Thank you!
Hello.
1. You need to create a file called single-user_images.php. Everything you need is in the documentation folder.
2. You need to use a lightbox plugin. I use (and recommend) jQuery Colorbox 4 (it’s free).
3. The widget in the footer is correct. It displays image names and views.
Awesome thank you! So sorry! I totally missed the instructions in the Styling section – I went to the installation section, got redirected by the instruction to go to the ImagePress menu in the dashboard and was looking there for more info, and planned on going back to Styling once I got it installed properly – didn’t realized that’s where my needed info was 
Thank you so much!!
You are definitely welcome! Don’t forget to rate it!
And I promise I’ll rewrite better instructions for the next version.
I have a site with thousands of posts. Can I use this plugin to 1) allow guests to upload images to each of my posts that I can then moderate 2) can the upload to gallery option be implemented for custom post types. Or can you provide the php code so that I could put the code into my custom posts so that the upload form and gallery show up where I want it to. Thanks
1. No, the plugin creates a custom post gallery by itself, you cannot attach one or more pictures to a post/page.
2. Uploaded images are custom post types already.
You misunderstood the way this plugin works.
I really like the look and functionality of this plugin and I know this question pulls away from the plugins original purpose but does this support animated gifs and also is their any chance of video/ video url support in the future? Been looking for a viral media style plugin for wordpress and this has been the best I’ve found yet. Thanks for developing it.
Hello Nick.
The plugin allows for animated GIFs, I’m not sure if they work when displayed in masonry view. Try to upload several GIFs on my demo site.
Regarding video, that is a good question, but it relates to a new plugin. I’d love to make a video version of ImagePress. What do you have in mind? Youtube/Vimeo or custom uploaded videos (mp4, avi, and so on)? If you work with custom uploaded videos you need a specially configured server (ffmpeg and other video processing software).
Thanks for the quick reply. I will try the animated gifs now. As long as they work in on the single page view that is good enough for me.
In regards to the video just linking from youtube, vimeo and vines would more than enough functionality. A plugin that offered the same functionality as http://codecanyon.net/item/viral-media-portal/6193144 would be perfect as long it was integrated with the wordpress core. I think there would be a huge market for something like this as I’ve been searching for a while and nothing other than imagepress comes close.
You’ve got a deal then!
I’ll start researching a new plugin. VideoPress is already taken, I was thinking of FilmPress. Keep an eye on my site, I’ll document progress there, as separate posts.
Sounds great. As long as there is front-end user submission like imagepress I think it will be a great plugin idea. Thanks and I’ll keep an eye out on your site.
Hi, is it possible to upload more than one image at anyone time? For instance, 110 images to one albums and 96 to another Album? Looking for a Gallery Plugin for my client whose wishes to have his 110+ Albums displayed and needs to know if your gallery will show Albums in dated order (newest at the front) and show images up in a speedy manner. Please answer asap. Thanks.
Hi. There is a plugin that does this and I have recommended it to another user here. Let me search my email and I’ll let you know.
I really hope it’s not Nextgen – trying to avoid that altogether! Also hope it’s not WP Auto Albums…Was hoping your plugin would do the trick as it looks absolutely spot on.
No, it’s not those. It’s just a simple import plugin. I might even include it in ImagePress. It only works from the backend though, so only an administrator could add the images.
OK, here it is – http://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-featured-image-posts/
Hmm – don’t think that is what I’m looking for in regards to above plugin – just asking about your actual ImagePress in whether it’s possible to upload say 70 images or 154 images – then also need Albums displayed in posted date order with newest being first and also showing up thumbnails of images.
No, you can only add one image at a time in ImagePress. It’s not meant to add multiple images. Think of it like Pinterest.
Albums are not yet available to be displayed like that, but it’s a great idea to display categories as albums, so I will add this feature in the next updated.
Sorry…it’s next message you need to view – thanks.
One last question. I noticed you used jQuery is there any script in the js files to allow auto refresh without having to refresh the page?
Thanks!
No, there is no such script.
Category doesn’t work for me. If anyone has the solution pls help. Thanks!
It’s fixed.
Yes I got it thanks!
Hi been looking everywhere and finally found something that just works for me. Thank You. Question. I have been trying to figure out why my images are vertical and not horizontal?
Hi nevermind I used a widget to do what I need to do. But I am interested in making sure all the images are the same sizes?
The plugin uses a brick layout system based on the Masonry plugin, so the images won’t be the same. But they will fit perfectly inside the layout.
Ok ty. Can i change the color of the heart? I decided not to use background and that would help with sizes and my background is dark. I did try but color did not take. Ty
I am working on implementing a font instead of an icon, and you will be able to change the colour. It will also be more flexible.
The update should be live by Friday.
Awesome! TY. Future feature request. What about a most recent photo’s widget.
Hi again, I am using category add function to upload and am using the correct slug but when I try to upload I am sent to a text list that looks like this: [singlepic id=110 w=100 h=100 ]
Posted on February 1, 2014
It was working fine when I used [imagepress-add]
Want to add that it has something to do with my categories. When tested I hadn’t created any categories and it worked but now that I have categories it does not work.
works on different page finally figured that out.
Great! I’m glad it works for you. Version 2.7 is coming tonight, and it will be live by tomorrow.
Ok looking forward to it. This was my life saver in building my site LOL.
Hi, is there any way to set it so the “like” (heart) button can only be clicked once by a user? I have an issue were it seems to reset my ability to “like” again photo every day.
It should work daily. Do you have a link to your site?
No, I don’t have a link. It’s an intranet. I would like it so that it only allows a like once ever, per picture. How can I make this happen?
Or even how can I turn off the ability to like/vote on a category of pictures? E.g., all photos in the Portraits category are allowed to be “liked” but the voting/liking in Landscapes is closed/turned off.
Let me check the plugin for the 24 hour issue. Regarding your second request, it is not possible to like a category of pictures.
What I mean is can I turn off liking for all pictures in a given category but leave liking on for all the pictures in a different category?
I’m working on the plugin this weekend, and, hopefully, I might implement something useful for you.
I have this plugin working fine except for one thing, the comments aren’t working correctly. A user clicks the comments link on an image in the gallery and posts a comment, it all goes fine but when you view the image page there are no comments even though the comment counter on the gallery page indicates the comment is there.
http://marveltv.org/fan-gallery/Do you have Disqus enabled? Do you have a single-user_images.php or are you using the attachment.php page? Or the single.php one? Do you have the correct template tag for comments in there?
Hi, I have having a problem. When I type Pic name in searchbox it shows only title in result but not showing the image. How can I correct this problem?
That depends on the theme you’re using. If your search.php has featured image enabled, the image will show.
Okay.. i’ll check. Thanks for fast reply.
You’re welcome. Let me know how it goes.
is there support for reporting an image?
No, it is not, but you can implement one manually (probably using a contact form plugin) in the single.php file.
Hey Butterflymedia!
First off, awesome plugin. You did a fantastic job laying everything out to be pretty user friendly. From what I can tell so far, you have done an awesome job with helping people and accommodating requests.
I just have one request/question. Is it possible for people to upload more than one photo at once. The people who will be using it are going to want to upload more than one photo at once (a lot of photos).
Thanks a lot! James
It’s not possible, because each image is a custom post, with title and description. So it’s not possible from the frontend. It is however possible from the backend, using custom import plugins.
Can you recommend a plugin or what I should search for. Searching for custom import plugins doesn’t really narrow it down. Thanks!
Here you go – http://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-featured-image-posts/ – successfully used by another ImagePress customer.
1. Install it, activate it and configure it via Settings > Auto Image Posts
2. Set the post type to user_images
3. Drag all 200 images to your Media Library > Add New
4. Wait
5. Done!
I upload an image.. then head to the images page.. it shows the image for a second then it disappears! Any idea?
No idea. Might be a jQuery issue from your theme or another plugin.
Hi!
I’m trying to change the gallery layout.. i want the pictures shown in a grid, a row of 4 next to eachtother.. every thumb the same size…
Where can i change that?
And another thing, my gallery page is different in every browser.. Safari, firefox, ie..? is there a solution for?
Thanks again!
Hi.
1. If you want to change the images to show thumbnails, you need to modify the plugin file and change a value. I can try to add this value as an option in the next version. I’m planning a small update this week.
2. I can’t help you with that unless I see it myself. Do you have a link?
Hello i have a question,
We i think your plugin is exactly what we need. But to be absolutely sure i have a question.
We need a plugin for a Photo contest: People can upload their own picture and leave ther contact data (for us to contact the contest winner). All the user uploads are shown in the gallery so everyone can see what the competition does. Now we want there to be some sort of a Admin verification before the uploaded pictures are shown in the Gallery. So there we can check if people did not upload strage/inrellevant pictures. Is also an option in your plugin?
Coulndt wait for the awnser so i bought your plugin anyway, and it has the function we desire. But there is one problem, the “labels” of the submission form are not showing in IE, they show in chrome in some of the boxes but only when i am logged on as admin. Same for your demo site, also no lables only blank form boxes ??
Hmmm, that’s interesting. I’ll check it and reply here ASAP.
Hi, have you had time to check this issue so far? We really need to put this plugin online, but cant becouse fo this problem. Is it possible to manually add a title above the submission form boxes, i don’t really care if the title is in the box or above as long as it is clear what people need to type in the box. Can you tell me whate files i need to edit for this?
Also, we are experiencing the same issue as on the screenshot on Safari when opening your demo page.
OK, the placeholder issue has been fixed, I will push the update (2.6.1) in 2 hours.
Hi,
Is it possible to change the slug for the post type and the user_images file.
For example I would like images to open in thebook/looks/...
Rather than /theblog/user_images/...
Yes, it is, but you need to reinstall the plugin. You need to modify the name inside the plugin’s files.
Hello,
Two questions,
1. Say, a user uploaded an image by mistake, one that they don’t want, how do they delete it?
2. On the all-images view page, How to center the images in the middle? The right side space appears to be bigger than the left.
Thanks.
Hello.
2. You need to adjust the width of the images from ImagePress settings panel. For example, if you have a width of 200, try increasing it to 205 or 210 until the images look centered.
1. If you have only registered users to upload images, then they can log in and delete the image. If you only allow guests, it’s not possible.
Cheers!
Hi, i am enabling only registered users to upload images, but where do they delete, which location.
Also, i tried playing with the image width, nothing happened, 0 changes, i understand that may be from my theme, maybe. Do you have any other suggestions to fix the issue please?
Your users should have an ImagePress menu -> Images.
Also, regarding the image width, it’s not a suggestion, it’s the solution. You can control the image width and make the images either 10px wide or 400px wide. This is how it works.
Check for caching, maybe that’s what’s holding you up.
Hi, i solved the image width thing, thank you.
Regarding the image menu for users, how do they access it? i don’t see any menu for imagepress for users, i hope you’re not talking about a backend menu because most wordpress site owners hate when users log into the backend, and it’s already disabled in my theme.
Hi, on my site only registered users are to upload. But i don’t see why there is a field for E-mail and another for name! even if you updated those fields it will not appear next to the image.. Is there a way to remove those fields for good? thanks!
I am talking about the backend menu, that’s how registered users manage their assets.
Regarding the name and email, they are automatically filled in when a user is logged in.
Please consider making an option for deleting images in the front end, in your next updates..
I will think about that.
You know what, i bought this plugin because i thought it looked beautiful, but now, i made a conclusion that your plugin isn’t even close to being user friendly, i am very disappointed, having to deal with lots of issues to configure it, and staying under the mercy of colorboxes.. duplicate image submission when refreshing after you upload an image, which causes the image to being submitted again, commenting takes you to a whole new page, users are able to vote on the same picture everyday, You click on the heart to vote but on the number not the icon to comment, users have to go to backend to delete or manage photos.. and it’s not even responsive.. I truly regret buying this plugin, i think it still needs a lot of work.
I’m sorry you feel that way.
1. The plugin IS responsive. 2. Commenting takes you to a whole new page, of course, it’s just like a regular WordPress post. Are you familiar with how WordPress works?! 3. The plugin is controlled via WordPress backend, and frontend editing does not make the object of this plugin. 4. Colorboxes… it’s not good practice to include my own lightbox, that’s why I’m working with add-on plugins. 5. You click on the number to comment, of course, just like WordPress. The icon is just a CSS feature.
6. After submitting an image, the page reloads itself in order to prevent duplicate submission.
Themes these days are very bloated and sometimes they can conflict with scripts and jQuery priorities.
Stay tuned for the next updates.
Hi, I’ve installed your plugin but am having trouble getting it to display any images. I only get a message saying “No images in this category!”. All the images are published and I can view them from the “View Images” section, but they just won’t appear on the page. Is there something I’m missing that I need to do? Thanks,
