The shortcode generatior generates shortcodes like [wppa type="photo" photo="12345"][/wppa] and has nothing to do with uploading photos.
The front end upload box or widget enables users to upload at frontend if configured in Table VI-B3,4 and if there are albums accessable for the users, i.e. owner = public or every user has his own album(s), see the explanation here
Frontend upload is not tricky if you configure it properly: Owners only ( Table VII-D1 ), Upload moderation ( Table VII-B7 ), Uploader edit ( Table VII-D2 )
I tried adding the shortcode generator program into the front-end by adding to wppa-non-admin.php the line:
require_once 'wppa-tinymce.php';
but that does not add the shortcode generator to the frontend tinymce editor, like it does with the backend tinymce editor.
Aparently your front-end edit plugin uses other rules than wp, so i suggest you drop this issue at the Frontier post plugin forum. Maybe they did not yet update the tinymce version to the same verion as wp did a few months ago, which caused the need to modify the external tinymce addons ( like wppa+ shortcode generator ) as they did no longer work.

Hi Jacob,
thank you for your explanation. I’ll try other frontend plugins and report back if I found a working version.
