The following settings are important on the Photo ALbums -> Settings admin page:
– To make front-end upload possible anyway:
Table II-H1: User upload Photos – Enable frontend upload. Ticked.
– To set that they do not need to login:
Table II-H2: User upload Photos login – Frontend upload requires the user is logged in. Unticked.
– To set the need of moderation:
Table VII-B7: Upload moderation – Uploaded photos need moderation. Ticked.
– To prevent that they can upload to all albums:
Table VII-D1.2: Upload Owners only – Limit uploads to the album owners only. Ticked.
– If the admin wants an email indicating an upload:
Table VII-B8: Upload notify – Notify admin at frontend upload. Ticked ( optional )

See the Album admin -> Edit album information screen to set the album owner.

– An upload box shortcode on a page: [wppa type=”upload”][/wppa]
– Activate the WPPA+ Upload widget. You can set the album selection to — a selection box —
If you move the photos to a different album ( on the Photo Albums -> Album admin -> Edit -> Manage photo information screen ), you still have to moderate them, i.e. change the status from pending to publish.
Also see the Photo Albums -> Moderate Photos screen once there are photos pending moderation.
