Doesn't work with WP tiled galleries.
Reached out to support and got no reply at all so deleting the plugin and finding another one that will work or at that least has support that actually replies

By rksgdynia on April 30, 2024

I installed a different gallery - there's no point in comparing it - Gallery Lightbox is much better

Outstanding out of the box

By cocoamelody on January 8, 2024

Just went through 5 other plugins that were utterly useless. THANK YOU.

Good but some issues

By synthezoid on January 1, 2024

This lightbox is simple to use & looks good. It's not very customizable, but works well out of the box and is free, so who's complaining? I don't even feel good about deducting a star for the minor issue or two it has, because, really, it's pretty usable.

The only real issue is that for the row of tiny thumbnails on the bottom, instead of using thumbnail image sizes, it loads the full-size image for the thumbnail, making for incredibly slow going sometimes. Also for some reason it responds in an apparently manner to scroll wheel events, randomly resizing the main image and thumbnails, forcing a complete page reload if they get resized to a szie you don't want, as it's nearly impossible to get them back to the correct size any other way.

Amazing!
