Freemium Version mit interessanten Funktionen

Die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten für die Galerie sowie auch die Lightbox sind in der kostenlosen Version recht umfangreich. Es lässt sich sogar für die Bilder auch ein Rechtsklick-Schutz sowie ein Wasser

Poor Support

Support issues about PHP notices are dismissed and PHP warnings are not answered.

Very Complicated and Overengineered

What should be simple is overly complicated. The UI is confusing and basic gallery setup takes far too many steps. Not user-friendly at all.

Worked straight out of the box!

Couldn’t be simpler. Downloaded, installed, activated and now all my post images open in a lightbox. Brilliant!

Simple Yet Awesome

I like the simplicity of the plugin and it works with WP native image block. The ability to automatically group single images on a page or post and browse through them in the model box is great.
