photography-management

I’ve tested on multiple wordpress installs and this plugin simply doesn’t work.

New wordpress pages from this plugin cant be added to menus like other wordpress pages. Tested, not a problem from my wordpress. When I try to reach to the support page using the link provided inside the plugin I get a “not secure website” message.

I have bought a couple of licenses and even a dev license, but the dev rarely updates the plugin, and if you’re a person with clients, you will instantly regret this. I used to love the plugin, in fact, this breaks my heart to write, but I can no longer use this plugin because there is NO SUPPORT FOR IT AND IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS VERSION OF WORDPRESS.

The problem with this and other Wordpress proofing galleries is that they’re not designed by photographers nor properly oriented to users. The minimalist style of the proofing gallery is nice, but it’s not intuitive at all to a client. Instead of just some icons or +, – signs, a client needs a clear description text of all functions available along with the icons. Spanish translations of texts is awfully bad, misleading clients. Not a single option to customize those texts or design except some colours. Premium customer service is… just non-existent. Never received an answer to my emails. It could be the best proofing gallery but it’s definitely not a serious, professional option and after doing a deep search in alternative proofing gallery WP plugins, I’m afraid they’re all the same or much worse. The real professional solution is non-WP, premium service.

The plugin itself is not that bad. BUT: The plugin crashes very often in combination with other gallery plugins or sometimes without warning. Then the complete site is down and you have to remove all database entrys which contain settings of the codeneric plugin + remove files from ftp server and reinstall everything. The support isn’t answering at all, so you have to find a solution on your own. Not really helpful, more struggle than use.

This plugin poses a serious security issues. It creates a backdoor to your dashboard. Despite not having the option on to allow users to register, this plugin allows the client to create an account that will then, via a backdoor, allow them to access your dashboard! Cannot warn you enough, do not use!
