Descrição

Online Photo Proofing with WordPress

Envie um álbum de fotos para aprovação de seu cliente.

With picu you can create galleries with images from your photo-shoots.
Send a link to your client via email as part of the workflow.
Once your client approves a collection, you will automatically be informed via email.
Recupere a seleção do seu cliente e use em um software de gerenciamento de fotos de sua escolha.

All from the comfort of your own WordPress installation.

Install this plugin and say goodbye to overcomplicated communication with your clients. Shoot, upload, get Approved!

picu uses its own, independent design for proofing collections, instead of the theme’s templates. This ensures a consistent, user-friendly and easy to understand workflow for your clients and prevents a lot of compatibility issues between themes and plugins. Customization and branding options are available with our Pro modules.

Images uploaded through picu are separated from the the regular media library. This is also by design. We separate them, because proofing images are usually not finished and are not meant to be published.

If you have any questions or suggestions take a look at our documentation or ask via email. We are here to help and love to hear your feedback.

Go Pro

Our premium add-ons enable even greater functionality:

Brand & Customize lets you add a custom logo and adapt the client gallery to match your branding.
Mark & Comment allows your clients to add comments and markers to individual images.
Selection Options allows you to define the number of images your client needs to select to approve a collection.
Download enables your client to download all collections images as a .zip file.
Import gives you the ability to upload large amounts of images via FTP and import them directly from your web server.
Theft Protection helps you to prevent image theft from picu collections by adding a watermark to your uploads and more.
Multi-Client Support allows you to send collections to multiple recipients and receive individual selections.

Priority Support: We try our best to provide support and answer questions in the WordPress.org forums, but please be aware that one-on-one priority support via email is only guaranteed to people who bought a Pro license.

FAQ

I have a problem. Where can I get help?

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

Can WordPress send emails?

picu uses functions built into WordPress to send emails. If you have any email issues, please make sure your WordPress installation can send emails, eg. notifications for new comments, resetting passwords etc. If those don’t work, picu can’t send out 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, they can either whitelist the from address (no-reply@ + your domain name) or you can use this filter to change the FROM name and address.

When viewing a collection I get a “page not found” / 404 error

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, eg. 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

This sometimes happens. Usually third party plugins tamper with the way image uploads are connected to their parent. If that connection between image and collection is lost, picu can’t filter its images from appearing the library.

picu images do not show up in the Media Library

This is intentional. 🙂 We wanted to strictly 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 und 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.)

Can I help translate picu into my language?

Yes! picu has been translated by our kind users in more than ten languages. You can add 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!

Claudio and the team are very supportive. Each new release provides valuable features and the Pro version continues to make the plugin seamless and very user-friendly for the my clients. Thank you for all your hard work!

ivotavaresnet 25 de outubro de 2022

I've been using the plugin since 2018 and I recommend it. Simple to use for us and for our client, it saves time in exchanging emails to choose images or corrections.

anilu 12 de agosto de 2022

Great plugin, very responsive support also. The guys that wrote it are fantastic and always open to improve. Thanks!

UPDATE: I'm updating my review to reflect my genuine appreciation that Picu stepped up to work with me to resolve the issue. Thank you, Claudio. 🙂 I used the paid version for a wedding client in 2021 and it ended up not being the type of service I was looking for so I deleted the plugin. A year later, 2022, Picu.io auto-renewed my subscription without notification. When I saw the charge on my credit card statement, I reached out to request a refund and was denied ("our refund policy is 14 days maximum" Claudio wrote.) I feel this is a really shady way for a company to generate revenue.

After I installed succesgully Picu Pro I got an error when accessing collections. I wrote to Support and Florian came back asking me for PHP logo in order to understand where is the issue. I sent the PHP logos. It seems Pictu Pro and my AIT theme did not work together. Florian send me back a 'hacky' solution (a short code to baypass the error) until AIT Them will update there theme. In the meantime I set up a dedicated subdomain for Picu Pro with a clean Wordpress and the problem was double solved. Great support, fantastic proactive atitude. Thanks, Florian.

Having tried many of the hosted solutions for photographers, I am delighted to have found Picu - hosting all my client galleries within my own WordPress website makes sense! Plugin developers are super helpful and open to suggestions... I feel this is only the start of a journey with this awesome plugin!
