Not very fancy

  • Most options are not available in the free version of this plugin, but the free version gets you a basic gallery (see UPDATED info below).

    The gallery does not loop (this simple feature is only available in PRO version) – when the viewer gets to the end of the gallery, the gallery closes instead of going back to the beginning, which is annoying. Most of my galleries (for an artist client) have only two images – showing two different views of a work of art, so it would be nice for the viewer to be able to leave the cursor on one side of the screen to move between images (true, the thumbnails at the bottom can be clicked, but still requires moving the cursor and taking the eye off the image).

    If there a lot of images to be used in the Media Library, and they’re not grouped together as they will appear in various galleries, it will be difficult to select them. Only 20 images at a time appears under the “Import from Media Library” option.

    If a gallery is to appear in excerpt, the only option is for random images to appear. It would nice to be able to select the most representative image(s) to appear in the excerpt, or to select first 3 images, or something similar.

    UPDATED review and DOWNGRADED from 3 stars to 1 star:

    2 more issues:
    Image CAPTION appears under the thumbnail, but image TITLE appears on the pop-up image. This is quite inconsistent programming, and thus requires entering the same date twice to provide the same information on both thumbnail and pop-up

    Watermarks. I use “Easy Watermark” plugin. Fancy Gallery plugin removes the watermarks. Why? When I deleted and re-added Fancy Gallery plugin, the watermark appeared on the pop-up image, but not on the thumbnail. ??
