Sehr leistungsstark
Auch mit der kostenlosen Version dieses PlugIns kann man sehr leicht und schnell tolle Fotogalerien erstellen. Sie lassen sich dann über einen Shortcode in einen Beitrag oder Seite einfügen. Die Fotos lassen sich ziehen und in der Größe anpassen und mit der Maus einfach verschieben - einfach genial!

The Plugin "Gallery PhotoBlocks" has a security vulnerability.
Can we do something with this issue? Description The Gallery PhotoBlocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This is due to missing nonce validation on the init() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete or copy photo galleries via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Gallery PhotoBlocks <= 1.2.8 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
