Una pregunta sobre impersonal del reference

In our website, there's a sentence, I doubt about it, and I asked other friends, they told me it's wrong, I wana confirm it.

No se permite fotos aquí. (Photographs are not permitted.)

Shouldn't it be " se permitEN"??? Is singular correct here or plural?

I think fotos are plural, should be PERMITEN but not permite, am I right?

If the reference is wrong , I think we need to correct it before more students learn the wrong stuff.

For me, you are right "no se permiten". I am not an expert, so, let's wait for more answers.

The reference article has been corrected, I just added the most common form "hacer fotos" as cogu suggested, it would also have been correct with "permiten fotos".

I guess this was a simply typo, tell me about it eh? jeje

No se permite fotos... is incorrect

You had better inform Paralee of that. It is one of her example sentence in our reference article on impersonal se.

No se permite fotos aquí. (Photographs are not permitted.)

From your subsequent posts, I suppose that you now have the answer to your question.

No se permite fotos...impersonal se. (always singular)

No se permiten fotos....passive se. (may be singular or plural depending on subject/object)
