GM Community Gallery allows WordPress users to administer a gallery and accept images from site visitors. It requires zero configuration to start using immediately.
There's three basic parts to the GM Community Gallery:
- GM Submit Form: This is where your site visitors can upload images.
- GM Public Gallery: Where uploaded images are displayed.
-
GM Community Gallery Admin: When you administer and make changes to uploaded images. Also (optional) settings!
