  • What a disaster (updated)

    Works out of the box upon activation with latest version of WordPress (June 2018). Edit: Captions don't work. 1-2 days after installation, my slider stopped working. I then opened my site in Microsoft Edge to test it. Just before the site loaded, I saw some Russian words appear and then disappear. Immediately uninstalled and everything looks normal right now. Hope this didn't f*ck my site up. It is the only plugin installed besides the default Hello Dolly and Akismet. Edit 2: 26 Jan 2020. This remains the only plugin installed on my site and so far so good. I am sorry to the developer for the earlier bad review, I honestly thought there was something wrong with the plugin.

  • The Best - Only one with Zoom Function!

    Seems to be the only Fancybox plugin with an option for click to zoom after lighbox has popped up. So glad I finally found one that works! Rich

  • Simple Yet Functional

    Some of these fancybox plugins have nearly too many features, which means more things to go wrong. This one just does one thing, and does it well. Got me out of a jam for sure when another similar plugin just decided to start throwing javascript errors all over the console.

  • Works as a charm, clear code

    This plugin does what it should, and in addition the code is very clear and beautiful, so I could easily patch in a functionality that I missed
