Works as described
by Josh Journey·1 year ago
Photo Swipe with a little flare of Masonry. Worked right out of the box and even supports touch screen monitors with URL hash support. Navigating and zooming in the photo works beautifully. Better than most lightbox plugins.

Would you have any idea as to why the popup doesn’t load on click? Whenever I click an image it just goes straight to the image itself on a blank page.
