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!
Responsive Gallery Grid Reviews
A Beautiful Gallery
This is one of the best gallery plugins created for WordPress, displaying images in a visually striking way regardless to their aspect ratio. Far more exciting than Masonry and other modern displays.
A shame
I was looking for the source of the problem of non-admin users being blocked, a problem that’s been going on for months, and it turns out that it’s your plugin! I’m amazed that it took you so long
Clean, elegant, timeless look+feel. Interactions+Immersion could improve a bit
Clean, elegant and timeless look & feel – The grid is elegant. – The bubble effect onHover is great. – It’s minimal, and hence timeless and good. – This look & feel will age well, my intuition tells m
