How Do I Allow Voting on Photo Contests?

Follow these steps in your Gallery:

1. Go to the Voting tab
   Open your Gallery and switch to Voting.

2. Tick “Enable Voting”
   This turns on voting for the gallery.

3. Choose Voter Options

   • Require Social Login (Recommended): voters must log in with Facebook to vote.
   • Allow Anonymous Votes: no login required; votes are limited by IP/session.

4. Set a Voting Date Range (optional)
   Limit voting to a specific window (e.g., open and close dates).

5. Include or Exclude Locations (optional)
   Restrict voting to selected countries/regions or exclude specific locations.

6. Decide Whether to Show Vote Counts

   • Show Vote Counts: a sorter appears so users can view Most Popular, Most Recent, or Random.
   • Hide Sorting: remove the sorter entirely, or customise the names of each filter.

7. Save and Publish
   Review your settings and publish the gallery to start collecting votes.
