Perfect image widget
by mdavego·3 years ago
This is perfect image widget. Thank you very much for such helpful solution.
Very nice, working great
by vollachr·5 years ago
I like this image widget plugin, certainly better than the default one, also works with some external lightbox plugins, so that’s a bonus.
Also, it works without a problem on WordPress v5.4.2.

Thanks but I would rather not be forced to purchase to get a basic 2017 function
