Hi everyone. I have a travel site and I want users to share there travel photos on my site. I want to build a gallery of travelers photos and share them to my social media pages. Any ideas on how I can make it easy for people to share their photos with me? maybe a plugin would do.
There are a couple of plugins you can use to let visitors upload stuff for your blog. Here is a list I have gathered: http://wordpress.org/plugins/nmedia-user-file-uploader/ http://wordpress.org/plugins/photosmash-galleries/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/javek-uploader/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/frontend-uploader/ http://ninjaforms.com/ These are some plugins that might just be what you are looking for here. Hope this helps! Cheers!
It depends how much automation you want. If you just want them to be able to send you pictures that you will put in a gallery, it's easy - Contact Form 7 will do that, via email. If you want them to be able to upload to the site, you'll need to mess with user abilities (though it's not difficult to add a little function that allows, for example, 'contributors' to upload media). If you want them to be able to upload and the pictures to be added to a gallery, some of the gallery plugins allow it. If you want to automate the whole process and have each picture in its own post, with a constantly-changing gallery of images as they upload (as individual posts rather than fixed galleries of a certain number of pictures), it's possible... but it's not easy.
