Our plugin have a lot of free and Premium features, here are some of them.
I honestly don’t know what people are complaining about. I installed the free version and it was up and working in minutes. It has all the features I need; I didn’t feel like I needed to pay for the Pro version.
I notice that some of the negative reviews use the same wording. I suspect some disgruntled jerk is trying to smear this plugin.
I should have read the reviews before I tried it.
This is a very well made plugin. Has lots of customisable options and I couldnt be without it. It pretty much does everything for you, all you do is install the plugin, and add an image or image with a custom url into a page/post, and it does the rest. It will automatically open up the image or video in a lightbox and it looks great. Plenty (loads) of customisation options. Perfect.
Impossible to make it work. I tried everything.
It just doesn’t work, as the dev wants us to believe.
Supposedly (because the manual consist in 2 sentences), you just insert an image from the gallery and the plugin takes over. Except, it doesn’t…
Too bad, it’s exactly what I needed. Just wasted a couples of hours of my time.
Why is it even here?
Don’t waste your time. Fail on a lot of levels. First of all, this is a trick to get you to set it up and then be forced to buy the PRO version. This plugin has a lot of features but the free version is impossible to use without upgrading to Pro.
