excellent plugin, works very well

Excellent!

Does everything I need. Wanted a gallery plugin that would include the content of the Media Library caption in the lightbox, does it with style!

A good lightweight Alternative

Works with WordPress 6.7 and PHP 8. Lightbox shows exactly as one would hope with comments and meta data. Thank you for making a light weight version of Jetpack Carousel gallery.

Bonita y sencilla galería random

Probé algunos plugin para hacer una galería masonry, y éste no está mal, activé “tiles mosaic” con “random order”, y es muy llamativo, cada vez que entras en la página muestra un orden aleatorio-rando
