Description
What does the Frontend Submissions Addon do?
Envira Gallery – Frontend Submissions Addon adds a front-end upload form to your WordPress site, so visitors can send in photos without ever touching the dashboard. Submitted images land in an Envira gallery, where you handle them like any other image: arrange them, caption them, and publish them when you’re ready.
It suits sites that rely on contributions from other people. Think of a community photo wall, a customer showcase, or an event page where attendees share their shots. You stay in control of the gallery. Your visitors only see a simple form.
Key Features
- Front-end photo uploads that let visitors contribute from any page where you place the form.
- Drag and drop gallery building through Envira Gallery’s standard editor, so submitted images fit into your existing workflow.
- Text or image watermarks to help protect photos that appear in the gallery.
- Password-protected galleries for contributions that should only be seen by selected people.
- Proofing and eCommerce tools from Envira Gallery, letting clients pick images, request revisions, or buy prints directly from your site.
- Responsive display so galleries built from visitor uploads still load and look right on phones and tablets.
- Release under the GPL, so you can use it across your own projects and modify it as the license allows.
What does it work with?
This is an add-on, not a standalone gallery plugin. It extends the main Envira Gallery plugin and relies on it for everything else: gallery creation, layout options, lightbox display, sorting, scheduling, and the rest of the Envira feature set. Install and activate Envira Gallery first, then add this extension to the same WordPress site.
Because submissions flow into regular Envira galleries, the other Envira tools still apply. You can add EXIF data, Creative Commons licensing information, or audio tracks to a gallery, and the visitor-contributed images sit alongside your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I protect visitor-submitted photos with watermarks?
Yes, as long as you use the watermarking feature available in Envira Gallery. It supports both text and image watermarks, so you can brand the galleries where contributed images appear instead of leaving them bare.
Will submitted photos behave like the rest of my Envira galleries?
They go into Envira galleries, so you manage them in the same editor you already use. You can reorder them, apply your chosen layout, and use features like password protection or proofing on the gallery that holds them.
