Loved it as a developer as it has nothing but a plain fancybox.
Good Plugin. I Use it in my site
No problem, it works as it says and this is fairly enough.
Simply does not work for me in IE 9 & 10 with WP 3.8.1.
Installed and activated, does work. When I stopt it and then i reactivated the plugin the options for FancyBox are disappeared, no options. When I delete it, the Jquery.js from WordPress doesen`t work anymore, i need half a day to find the bug. There is no support, a lot of questions and no answers. Thanks! for spending time.
