Keep members connected between contributions

Members can block unwanted contact. Administrators can review conversations and disable a user’s ability to send new messages and friendship requests. These controls support the operator’s community rules.

Choose the fields members can fill in, decide which information is public and organize content with categories. Publish submissions automatically or review them first. Configure whether members may replace files, including time limits and restrictions after votes have been cast.
Images, videos, audio and documents can serve different kinds of participation. Use comments for discussion, ratings where they add value and dedicated entry links for sharing.

Can I use Contest Gallery without running a contest?
Yes. Use a gallery without voting to build a place where members share content, explore profiles and comment on contributions. You can also use voting in galleries where it fits your community.
Can I build a social community for a specific audience?
Yes. Configure profile fields, upload forms, categories and publication rules around your audience. Gaming groups, hobby communities, clubs, creative networks and singles communities can use the same content and profile foundation.
How can community members connect?
Members can explore public profiles, share content, discuss entries, exchange private messages and send friendship requests. Ratings are available when enabled. The website operator controls whether private messages and friendships are offered.
Does a profile show everything a member has uploaded?
A public profile shows accessible published entries across eligible galleries. Unpublished submissions remain private to their owner in My entries. Profile information uses the website’s shared public-field configuration.
Can I start with the free plugin?
Yes. The core member area, public profiles, frontend profile editing and public URL fields are available in FREE and PRO. PRO adds further configuration and monetization workflows.
