Find out which image is best

Do you often wonder which images on your WordPress website give the biggest wow to your visitors? Through this plugin you can find out!!

Improve Social Sharing and engagement

v2.0 of the plugin brings with it a lot of new features described below. The biggest of these is the ability to view each image in the Pics Mash game and comment, share and tweet it. This helps engage your website users even more to your photos!

WordPress comments

Don’t fancy having Facebook comments on your site? The plugin works just as well with standard WordPress commenting systems. The choice is yours.

Allow your users to add images to your Pics Mash

Let your website users create their very own Pics Mash competitions. Increase the number of sign ups to your site by asking for users to be registered with you before they can add images to your Pics Mash.

Using the shortcode [picsmash author = ‘1’] and [toprated author = ‘1’] will display the images uploaded by user ID = 1 in their own Pics Mash game. Gives you the ability to allow your users to create their very own Pics Mash games!!

You can display user specfic pics mash games through the use of custom page templates and coding like:

 <?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $pid = $current_user->ID; echo do_shortcode(["picsmash author = '$pid'"]); ?>

What is Facemash?

Facemash.com is one of the first websites which Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) created. This WordPress plugin reproduces a similar effect to how Mark created the facemash website.

”...the initial site generated 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online…” – Source Wikipedia

Now you can bring the same power and engagement to your own WordPress website!!! With this plugin it is really easy to add powerful image rating functionality to your site.

How does the Plugin work?

The plugin takes all the images from your WordPress media library and uses them to populate a new area of your website to store the votes and ratings of each image. You can decide which images to include or exclude by reviewing the entries in the Pics Mash area of the WordPress admin panel.

Create a Photo rating specific area of your website

The plugin uses the new features of WordPress to create a custom post type for the images involved in the Pics Mash rating tool. All the information needed (image location, ratings, votes) are saved in custom post fields that are easily extracted to be displayed on a custom page template if you so wish. With picsmash it’s easy.

Easy integration with Social Gallery plugins

The plugin works seamlessly with popular Social Gallery plugins. Why stop at just increasing user engagement through ratings and votes? With a combination of this plugin and Social Gallery plugin, you can boost user engagement 100x!!!!

NextGEN Gallery support

From v1.1 Pics Mash now allows you to automatically include your images from your NextGen galleries in the image rating tool. Facemash your favourite gallery photos.

Over 5 Million users of NextGen
Easily upload new pictures for your site and include them in Pics Mash
