Client review add-on for FooGallery ## Bring client proofing into your gallery workflow Create private proofing sessions, collect selections and comments, and manage client approvals without leaving WordPress.

Leave it blank to use the WordPress site administrator email. The per-session **Email on submit** option determines whether a notification is sent for that session. ## Invitation email Customize **Invitation subject** and **Invitation message**. The message accepts basic HTML and these tags: - `{client_name}` - `{gallery_title}` - `{proof_url}` - `{site_name}` The default message introduces the gallery and includes its private proof URL. Keep `{proof_url}` in the template unless the private link will be supplied another way. ## Submission email Customize **Submission subject** and **Submission message**. The message accepts basic HTML and these tags: - `{client_name}` - `{gallery_title}` - `{selected_count}` - `{proof_admin_url}` - `{site_name}` `{proof_admin_url}` links the notification recipient directly to the session detail screen and therefore requires an authenticated WordPress user with permission to edit the source gallery.

This is useful for matching studio terminology or providing a localized workflow without changing plugin files. The available fields cover: - Page, expiry, selected-count, and panel labels. - Select, selected, reject, rejected, comment, and save-note controls. - Saving, saved, pending, offline, submitted, and preview statuses. - Submit confirmation and concurrency-conflict messages. - Unavailable and read-only messages. - Minimum and maximum selection validation.

Keep the placeholder in the replacement text. For example: ``` Choose at least %d photographs before sending your favourites. ``` Empty language fields are restored to their default text when settings are saved.

If mail does not arrive: 1. Check the session's **Email Log**. 2. Confirm the client or notification address. 3. Check junk or spam folders. 4. Verify the site's SMTP or transactional email configuration. 5. Send a fresh invitation after correcting delivery settings. Remember that this rotates the private link.
