 * I was hoping to add additional entry fields on the upload form/widget, in addition
   to the standard title/description. But I don’t have a lot of experience writing
   php code and was wondering if you could provide me with some instructions as 
   far as making this change. Thanks!

 * That looks simpler than it is. What items do you want to add?

 * We’d like these fields added to the upload form:
 * Student Name
    School Name High School Grad Year Email Phone
 * The Email and Phone items would also be hidden on the image info.

 * I can add custom fields ( so you can give them names like Student name etc ) 
   with switches that define if the fields may be seen at the front-end.
 * This takes quite a lot of programming, but i can do it in approx 1 or 2 months
   from now.

 * Unfortunately, we need a solution for this project before then, so we’ll have
   to look into another fix. Would be great in the future if you could offer field
   customization on the front-end. Otherwise, your plugin is one of the best free
   all-in-one gallery plugins we found. Thanks for your help!

 * Ok, it will be implemented though, but i do not want to commit on deadlines.

 * The custom fields are implemented, see [http://wppa.opajaap.nl/using-custom-data-fields/](http://wppa.opajaap.nl/using-custom-data-fields/)
   the input possibility at front-end upload will come in the next version ( 6.1.7(?))

 * Hello Jacob,
 * This is a very, very useful feature since I will want to add my own custom fields
   to each front-end upload.
 * For example:
 *     ```
       Who
       What
       Where
       When
       ```
   
 * This is so nice since it encourages my visitors to include this vital information
   when uploading their photos!
 * I am looking forward to its full implementation.
 * Thank you for always improving the plugin!

 * `Otherwise, your plugin is one of the best free all-in-one gallery plugins we
   found.`
 * Nothing is free.
 * Jacob spends an incredible amount of time developing and supporting this photo
   management system. Please help sustain this incredible plugin. You will see the
   appropriate Donate links in your list of Plugins within your WordPress Admin.
 * WPPA+ is by far the best “free” or “premium” photos management software you will
   find. Nothing matches the support the author provides and the power of this program.
   Its configuration options and customizations are unmatched. If you are serious
   about managing a large archive of photos this plugin is absolutely TOP NOTCH 
   and it is very stable and secure. In the 5 years or so we have used the plugin
   we have had no interruptions in delivering photos to our members. I simply cannot
   say enough good about this program and especially about Jacob’s unending support.

 * I wanted to echo what Marcus said. Although I’m newer to the plugin I have found
   it amazing and your availability to help everyone with it amazing as well. I’ve
   been watching the threads here almost daily and it helps me know what to watch
   out for and keep up with new developments that I might use. I really like this
   new fields form addition and will definitely use it a little later in my project.
 * Thank you
    Garry
