Prophoto 3 Change Log

Gallery/Slideshows – The grand-daddy feature added to ProPhoto 3 (and our most-requested feature) is the integration of an image gallery/slideshow feature.  Available with both a Flash-based and Javascript-based (similar to Next-Gen Gallery) option, you can easily add your uploaded images into galleries that will give you a stunning new way to show off your images on your ProPhoto blog.

Sidebars – There is now the option to add a fixed side bar to either side of your blog content, giving you a customizable column in which to add links, icons, widgets, whatever.  We went beyond this though, and added an option for multiple tabbed sidebars, that will hide your sidebar content off the side of the browser window unless a user mouses over them.  This allows you to have additional, easy-to-access content without shrinking your blog's overall content width.

More widget integration – Now more areas of your blog are widget ready (your bio, footer, sidebars, contact form).  Easily add and remove content using Wordpress or ProPhoto widgets.

Social media icons – We have added several of our own ProPhoto widgets, including Social media icons, that are customizable and can be dragged and dropped into the widget-ready areas of your theme.

Post excerpt images – ProPhoto3 can now pull out a single thumbnail or full-sized image to show as part of any post that is shown as an excerpt. This allows for much sexier excerpts.

P3 insert all – Lots of photogs have complained that WordPress doesn't give them the ability to insert all of their uploaded images for a post into a post without resorting to using the 'gallery' feature. P3 now adds a "P3 Insert All" button below your uploaded images, which sends them all, full-size to the post editor, where you can type in between them to your heart's content.

Watermark overlay – For image protection and branding, P3 can now overlay a custom watermark image over any images you post.

RSS feed image protection – P3 not only has the ability to protect your images from most would-be image thieves on your actual blog pages, but now in your RSS feed also. There are options to downsize, remove links, or remove images altogether from your RSS feeds for copyright protection.
