5. Show images from specific album/category

Leave album blank to show all UPG posts.

6. What happen, if I update plugin

When plugins are updated, the plugin/wp-upg folder is deleted and new one is created.
But this will not delete any uploaded post/media.
If you are using ‘personal layout’. Your UPG post may be blank page for 1st time. After refresh it will reappear.
It copies files from upload folder to layout folder.
But we advice to take backup before update.

7 . How ‘personal layout’ is different from other layout

‘personal layout’ is a layout which is created by you. It is blank at the beginning.
Whenever you use UPG ‘layout editor’, it copies the code from other layout to personal layout with the changes you have done.
It creates the physical file placed at wp-content\uploads\ folder.
When plugin is updated, these files are copied at wp-content\plugins\wp-upg\layout\ folder.

Room for Improvement, but It Does What It Says

January 2, 2021
If you need to allow your website visitors to upload content, or if you just want to display photo albums of your own photos, this plugin works great. I especially love the Layout Editor feature. It's amazing! There is room for improvement. I found one feature, changing the image preview layout, that wasn't clearly explained, and I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out why the image preview post for all of my images weren't looking the way I intended them to. It turned out each photo has a preview setting, so just changing the global preview setting doesn't change the preview setting for the photos already uploaded. That makes sense, but I never saw anything that documented that feature. The code could be a little bit cleaner too, which might make it difficult to work on as more features are being added over time. In the end, though, the plugin works just fine. Kudos to the author for making something new, not found anywhere else in the WordPress repository of free plugins.

It works great and the author writes off right away in case of problems! Thanks a lot!

Awesome plugin!

December 18, 2020
Really nice plugin and very user friendly to use... having a little bit of issue on thumbnails after updating the latest version, but the developer is very quick to resolve my problem in minutes.. Thanks to Odude Network,

Very good plugin for user’s pictures galleries

October 9, 2020
Yes! User Post Gallery is what I needed! A plugin to let my web users to post their own pictures in fancy galleries. You can set Categories for different kind of pictures, set different layouts for the galleries at your choice, set the picture view as overprint or in a normal page,... Handy and effective!! I use it with Ultimate Member instead BuddyPress. I prefer the layout and setting choices of UM in front of BP. With UM I can create new Role for users (members), let them to reach contents depending on their role, create forms with a lot of settings, define a Profile Page as I want,... Users Post Gallery is a very good plugin!! And I'm using the free version!

WOW – This is PERFECT!

December 31, 2020
Looking for a complete system to allow users (logged in, for example) to submit their photos, and after admin approval (or automatic, it's your choice) have all aggregate on one page in a growing gallery. THIS WORKS GREAT! The instructions work well, and I truly found the basic shortcode option to be ideal. I wanted only images, voila, was easy. I set up only one album for users to submit to, voila, only one place to load. The notification of pending approvals in the back end was excellent, it shows number of waiting images. I also created separate gallery pages for each type of album content. Perfect. Pagination works great, too. Once I made my own adjustment with css for the masonry column option (made it 400px wide instead of 150) the final result is EXACTLY what i hoped for. Many thanks to the developer - no doubt i'll upgrade to Pro, just to show my appreciation. The free version does everything i need, but you deserve some pay. THANK YOU! Man, so easy!
