Syntax error crashes entire WP site
by carlospwk·3 years ago·2 replies
My site had crashed totally and most likely this plugin was the cause. The admin-page.php file had a syntax error on line 18, an extra comma when there should be none. When I fixed this, my website was back up.
Yeah, I was running an older version of PHP, thanks for pointing that out. Sorry for the bad review, I fixed my rating 🙂

Don’t use in your new projects
by iamsahmad·8 years ago·4 replies
I am using this plugin for almost 2 years, I liked this plugin until the new version came up and I installed. They changed the whole script and everything for the plugin you cannot use the previous shortcodes. The shortcode id is a joke, after every refresh the shortcode ID change. In short don’t use it for your projects.

Great plugin
by wyntonfranklin·9 years ago
Great plugin. Looks good. Works good. Exactly what I needed
Not much of a difference…

…from the native WP image gallery. Why use this?
You cannot jump from one image to the other. The gallery just adds the images to your page with a link to the full sized image file….WP can already do that out-of-the-box.
An image gallery should have the feature of moving from one picture the other in full-size!
