Excellent solution
I used all sorts of different sites for posting random images that didn't fit with my blog, but after negative experiences with them, I found the New Image Gallery at the end of 2020. What a relief! I'm now in charge of my own space, and the plug-in is very easy to use. I really don't need Instagram or Tumblr—I get more visitors to my blog anyway. Some earlier updates didn't work perfectly but the bugs appear to be resolved quickly with new versions, and I heard back from the developer to address my concerns really quickly on this site. Highly recommended!

No swiping on touch screens, tabs, or phones no double tap to zoom
Hello, I like the look of the plugin. Functionality is ok, but could use improvement in touch screen capabilities (swiping images) and ability to double tap to zoom image to full-resolution. Any taps on image currently close the image and move to next image.
