  • Amazing plugin and support

    I love watching wildlife images in fullscreen, specially in 4K. I've been looking for and tested lots of plugins and other solutions to just get fullscreen when click a thumbnail in my gallery. I know I have to buy the premium or pro version to get all settings. I bought a plugin from a well knowned company but the plugin did'nt do what I want. I found Portfolio Filter Gallery and tried the free version and liked ite very much. But before I bought the pro version I contacted the support to check how the plugin support fullscreen. It didn't work as I want but then the support told me that they can add it on next update. It took one day and now when I click a thumbnail in my gallery the image open directly in fullscreen, and edge to edge that fill entire screen with original resolution. Amazing.

  • Exceptional Plugin. Thank you!

    I love in this exceptional plugin following: Their support help:- Fast, loving, compassionate and respectful. All honor!- They love feedback;- And they have giganticaly open minds in business new era, Aquarius (technology), by adding suggestions they feel are good. Which is awsome! Wau. I love their Image defailt size-ratio:- The images shapes on the website into the perfect size;- The perfect size is seen elegant and clear.- Perfect for me because I don-t know how to set the correct visual ratio. Simplistic Settings I can define:- There is no complicated setting;- Their Tabs beneath the images are clear, with helpful guidance beneath each button;- All I do is define OFF or ON - So clear.- I don-t need to go to varius different settings. They have one for galery and one for filtering;- There is no dividing in Group galeries through one channel of setting but they did the opposite: For each galary is separated setting that is clear. If I would have group galeries I could just use plugin Page Builder and create dividing in desired way. It is very simplistic approach yet very proffesional! It is not too little, it is just right and NOT TOO MUCH which could create confusion. Simplistic Filtering- Could be any more easy to add filters with this plugin? And it is so simplistic to add them to images which I can mark all of my desired images at the same time, go to filter defining and instantly I have all desired images in filter I want.- Counting of images for each filter is in setting. I would not need to count and write how many images I have in each filter;- Setting is available for: size, color, dots, counting. So easy to understand what I need to do.They are progressive, active in updates which I can relax, knowing that this plugin will last forever and help me make money through my drawing designs donation exchanges ONE DAY. I highly recommend.I wish you big millionaire success "Portfolio Filter Gallery - Photo Gallery."Suzana Trnovšek

  • Good plugin, fast and reliable support.

    As a photographer I needed a more clean and modern look for a justified layout. I asked for support and was quite surprised that they were willing to work with me on it. Finally we got the results that I think we all can benefit now. Thank you.

  • Good plugin, great support

    I have been using this plugin (premium version) for four years now, and it has consistently performed very well. The support is excellent, and the plugin continues to be actively developed and improved.

  • Great plugin + support

    The photo gallery is perfect for a portfolio, and support was quick to respond when I had an issue (which wasn't even caused by the plugin, but by the theme my website used).
