What’s new in WordPress User Photo 1.0.0

What it does
Many community sites want members to share pictures, but WordPress has no simple front end for that. This plugin lets members upload photos and manage them without restrictions, while site admins can create, edit, approve or reject each submission. That balance means you can open the site to user content and still keep it in line with your own policies. Admins can also manage photo licensing and sort images by type and age group, which helps keep a growing collection organized.
On the visitor side, photos can be opened in a popup window, and albums can play as a slideshow. A set of widgets lets you highlight content in sidebars and other widget areas, including top viewed, most liked, most discussed and featured photos, plus a tag cloud, categories and a statistics widget with total views, likes and photo counts. The layout is responsive, and members can share their photos on external websites.
Best for
- Online communities where members share their own photos
- Membership sites that want moderated user galleries
- Photography clubs or hobby groups collecting member images
