Not compatible with WordPress 5.5 and current jQuery

This plugin is not compatible with WordPress 5.5 and jQuery 1.12.4.
Advise is to look for a different plugin.

easy gallery, good integrated
by m_a_d·13 years ago
I like the plugin Polaroid Gallery, because it is easy to use and is well integrated into the wordpress system without using own folders etc.
One wish is a touch-friendly handling on mobile devices.
