Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about picu - Online Photo Proofing Gallery

Please take a look at our documentation first. Still having issues? Check out the support forum here on wp.org or reach out via our support page. Emails are not working

picu uses functions built into WordPress to send emails. If you have any email issues, please make sure your WordPress installation can send emails, e.g., notifications for new comments, resetting passwords, etc. If those don’t work, picu won’t be able to send emails either. Receiving a notification once the client has approved a collection An email will be sent to you, announcing that the client has approved a collection. This email will be sent to the email address specified in your user profile. In the WordPress Admin go to “Users > Your Profile” to see/change that address. Make sure it is correct and working, otherwise you won’t receive any notifications! Changing the FROM name and address In case picu emails end up in the client’s SPAM folder, ask them to add your FROM address (no-reply@ + your domain name) to their allow list. You might also use the email options to change the FROM name and address. There are also filters to do this.

In your WordPress Admin, go to “Settings > Permalinks”. There is no need to “Save Changes”, just visiting the page will flush the rewrite rules so that any changes to the permalink structure will take effect. Sometimes this needs to be done manually, e.g., after changing the language of your website or after a new plugin was activated that introduced new permalinks. I don’t see any images when viewing my collection In 90% of cases this issue stems from using some kind of optimization or caching plugin. Please make sure to exclude picu collections from any kind of optimization or caching in the respective plugin’s settings. picu images show up in the Media Library By default, we hide all images in the Media Library. Sometimes, third party plugins tamper with the way image uploads are connected to their parent post. If that connection between image and collection is lost, picu can’t filter its images from appearing in the library. picu images do not show up in the Media Library This is intentional. 🙂 We wanted to separate the images that you use in a picu collection from the images you use on your website, thereby keeping you from accidentally using an image from a collection in a blog post or in your portfolio. The media library would get completely crammed and confusing having hundreds, or in some cases thousands, of (temporary) images in there. picu also cleans up behind itself: When you delete a collection, all images are deleted from the server automatically. (You can see how using an image elsewhere on the site would become a problem here.) More options are available via filters and action hooks There are lots of additional options to configure and extend picu by using a little bit of code. To get started, have a look at our developers page. Also, please have a look at our examples page with lots of working code snippets.

Yes! picu has been translated by our kind users into many different languages. If not available already, you can contribute translations by going to translate.wordpress.org. Choose your language, then click on "Stable (latest release)" and start adding translations. (Please note that you need a WordPress.org account to add translations.) BTW: We are looking for people to help us translate our Pro modules as well. If you are interested in a free license, get in touch. I have an idea that would make picu even better Awesome! We are always open to feature suggestions and are always interested to learn about photographers' workflows. Please get in touch!
