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 these filters 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.)

More options are available via filters and action hooks

There are lots of additional options to configure and extend picu by using a little bit of code. To get started, have a look at our developers page. Also, please have a look at our examples page with lots of working code snippets.

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!

Gut funktionierendes Plugin! Scheint sorgfältig entwickelt zu sein und bringt super Funktionen mit sich. Funktioniert auch auf Mobilgeräten perfekt!
October 20, 2023
Simply fantastic! I've used other plugins to show photos to clients, but Picu I have to confess really surprised me. It's very simple, the gallery page is fast and light, it contains the most important elements for the customer who only has to choose the photos he prefers.Congratulations also to the technical support who helped me resolve a conflict with another plug-in. Thank you
