Thanks for submitting the plugin. Saved me the time of having to enqueue Swipebox into my theme.

Great!

Swipebox is a great mobile-first image viewer. This plugin Just Works?, and it has an excellent admin panel exposing all the Swipebox settings. If I had one feature requests, it’s that I’d like photos to be grouped by post, instead of putting every image on the page into the same group. If you are currently using my old WP-jQuery Lightbox, strongly consider replacing it with Easy SwipeBox. It is better maintained, and provide a better experience on mobile devices. Thanks Leonardo for putting this together!

This integration of the famous Swipebox image lightbox is really sweet, lightweitch and efficient. Works out of the box, mobile friendly and so smooth. Thank you for your awesome job !

One of the best lightboxes out there!

So simple and elegant, yet easy to customise. Works great as a “carousel-lightbox” for all the images in a posts since it goes through them all. Great touch capability and is neat. Suggestions for further development: Click outside image should close box on desktop, at least available. Show image thumbnails in bottom as a carousel, choosable ofc. Add this code to fix the close button position on desktop vs touch media if your page has a vertical scrollbar. The close button is a sprite image and is placed to narrow to the edge on desktop if you got a scrollbar. #swipebox-close { background-position: 5px 12px; } @media screen { #swipebox-close { background-position: 15px 12px; } }

Although not updated in years
