Hi there.
I’m trying to activate a gallery page with a postcards plugin that used to be fantastic. It had been posted at www.remarpro.com in the good old days. I still have a copy. It automatically turns any gallery into postcards without shrinking your gallery images.
It doesn’t seem to work the same way with the new versions of WordPress. I’m using a theme I made years ago with Artisteer, but postcards used to work in these old Artisteer themes.
There’s no other plugin like it out there, I’d really like to make it work. And if you can help me fix it, you’ll see why. WordPress no longer offers the download.

The author, Stefano Lissa, abandoned the plugin and gave it away for free including the commercial features.
Your help in making it work again would be appreciated. Please check out this page where the plugin is active on an image gallery.

In the past if you clicked on “Send as e-card” under the image, a nifty postcard form popped up in a frame, with the image installed to the left, and to the right there was a To and From and Message form to fill in.
The commercial version also allows for linking banners and such to each sent postcard. I’m not so concerned about that, I just want the basic postcards to work. I will even PAY for help with this.
Lissa abandoned the postcards plugin years ago, because it didn’t quite work. I found a way to make it work. It must be installed together with some version of “fancybox” to pop up the preview image. That solves the old problem he had with it.
A zip containing the postcards plugin can be downloaded for free over here, since it no longer seems to be here at www.remarpro.com:

Please help to rescue this great old plugin. It’s too good to kiss it goodbye! Anybody know where Lissa now is? Please wake him up, bring him over here, maybe we can change his mind and he’ll take up his plugin again.
Thanks in advance.
]]>There is no CAPTCHA or other method to prevent a postcard from being accessed remotely and used for spamming, as in this example:
https://example.com/?ecimg=example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/IMG_3410.jpg&ecurl=example.com/?p=2302This is a SERIOUS FLAW, the ramifications of which should be seriously considered before implementing this plugin on a live site!
I recommend you implement the following security features to make this a nifty little plugin:
Thanks for your time and an otherwise great plugin!
]]>There are 3 typos (or programming errors?) in the plugin.php file. One of the post options is called 'postcards_enabled', but in 3 places in that file the author entered it as 'postcards_enable' (without the “d” at the end). This causes the per-page enable/disable override feature to not work. (Specifically, the “enable” option to override a global disable.)
EASY FIX: Use the plugin editor feature on your WP Dashboard. If you text search through plugin.php for the string postcards_enable' (with the trailing single quote!) and add the letter “d” making it read postcards_enabled' (note the “d” at the end of the word!) it will work.
WARNING: This “fix” will go away when this plugin is updated. Hopefully the author will make the fix himself. (Hint! Hint!) If not, admins will have to reapply this fix themselves.
]]>I wanted to ask if I can track the e-card, who sent and recipients list. thank you
