great and easy to use!
by WGschaider·10 years ago
I just wanted to show single images on my page in a lightbox – because this way they can be resized simple and good looking.
After the WP update my previous Plugin didn´t work anymore – WP Slimbox2 saved my day:-)

After spending too much time on a slimbox plugin that seems not to be supported anymore, WP-slimbox Plugin worked without a problem. Has a good range of settings too.
Nice!
