Please check it the $url$ paramter was inserted clean, via clicking the text type of tynmce editor:

Also if you are using a gallery created bevor version 21, then you have to set URL page link where the shortcode is inserted, additionally:

Marked as resolved so far.
This is what is inserted by default in a new gallery
<p>Dear Sir or Madam<br />Your file was published. <br /><br /><br /></p>
<p><a href="”$url$”">View your entry</a></p>
I have tried href=$url$ but it doesnt substitute the $url$ and results in The page you were on is trying to send you to an invalid URL (http://$url$).
I guess I am not changing it correctly to give me a clickable link

It should be without ”
<p>Dear Sir or Madam<br />Your file was published. <br /><br /><br /></p> <p><a href="$url$">View your entry</a></p>
and not code like “%24/” or so
like here:

<<< try without a tag wrap first
OK. I tried a @bare? $url$ and $info$ and both just came through as input. But in Admin notification $info$ was substituted correctly. I tried $url$ there too and that didn’t work.
afaics $url$ is not getting substituted anywhere. And File notification email isn’t doing any substitution at all.
Is it because I am on v18.0.1.2 Pro?
I did also try
<p>Dear Sir or Madam<br />Your file was published. <br /><br /><br /></p> <p><a href=$url$>View your entry</a></p>
Which gave me this
The page you were on is trying to send you to an invalid URL (http://$url$).
If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
Where does it get the url from?
If you use “v18.0.1.2” then you have also to fill out the URL field:
https://capture.dropbox.com/uGmqZK6k6nNNGO1y
Please try out to put simply only the $url$ parameter and nothing else.
If then does not work then please update to the latest version, because if there is really some kind of error in older version I do not correct older versions anymore, and send me temporary backend access to support-pro@contest-gallery.com.
In general if you using PRO version, then please contact support-pro@contest-gallery.com , because of the WordPress.org rules, that premium versions should not be discussed in this forum.
I see, sorted now. ANd I will use the Pro email address in future.
