I have a brand new user, just joined, has never posted in the forum, how has posted two images in the gallery (that are waiting for approval). These are the only two images in the Gallery, and they are inside a category called 'Member Albums'. They are legit images, from a legit user (not spam).

Thing is, no one has ever used the Gallery app on my website, not even myself, and it is not accessible from any navigation menu.

How could that user have had access to it?

The only thing I can think of is that they could have typed my domain name and added /gallery at the end... but that doesn't sound really realistic so I'm wondering if there's some other place where they could have mistakenly been directed to post an image in the gallery.

I'll probably just disable the Gallery from now on (I don't need it) but I'm just curious how this could have happened.

Thanks!

They may well have hit your site directly from that link if they have picked it up from google perhaps. As you said, you would be best to disable it if not using that application

Thanks Marc however I just checked Google Search Console and that page is not indexed in Google. It's a mystery.

Have you asked the user themselves? Would be interesting to know

I have but unfortunately have had no answer so far.

From the create menu probably?

I don't have a create menu on my website though, I've removed it.
