Wedding Photo Uploader

A WordPress plugin that lets wedding guests upload their own photos and videos, which the host moderates before they appear in a filterable, responsive gallery.

• Version: 1.2.0
• Requires WordPress: 5.8 or higher
• Requires PHP: 7.4 or higher
• License: GPL-2.0-or-later
• Author: Joash Rajin

Features

• Photo and video uploads (with separate size limits per type)
• HEIF/HEIC support
• Real-time upload progress tracking
• Admin moderation queue for both photos and videos (approve / reject)
• Gallery display with filtering (photos / videos / both) and sorting (date / name / filename)
• Lightbox display for photos
• Email notification to the site admin when new media is uploaded for review
• Mobile-responsive design

Blocks

The plugin registers two Gutenberg blocks (no shortcodes):

Installation

From a release zip

1. Build or download wedding-photo-uploader-<version>.zip.
2. In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, and Activate.
3. Add the Uploader block to a page for guests, and the Gallery block where approved media should appear.

From source

npm install      # install build dependencies
npm run build    # build the block bundles into blocks/*/build
./create-zip.sh  # produce wedding-photo-uploader-<version>.zip

create-zip.sh reads the version straight from the plugin header, so it always matches wedding-photo-uploader.php.
