    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.

    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.

    I've tried FrontEnd Uploader. It does work, at least
