• It works real good, but its rather slow.

    Let me clarify, the slowness I reference is in the backend when “add gallery” is clicked, it would take many minutes to open, and sometimes even timing out.

    But for viewing and being a lightbox, it is really quite good. I was just frustrated at the time it took to make each gallery, when I had to make 10+ using over 1000+ images.

    @graphics,

    This might be a local issue. Maybe you have inserted way too large images or there is another issue. We will require a link to your gallery to check it out and resolve your issue. Thank you.

    No thank you. It’s only slow when trying to upload and select gallery images. That ‘add gallery’ box is what is slow. The actual images viewing aren’t slow. But as someone who had to upload well over a 1000 images between 10 or 11 different sets, it got tiring waiting for the box. So then I opted to just FTP upload into the proper folder and just select them, but then it still takes time to open, and all the images thumbnails are ‘not found’ but you can still select them and use them just fine in the actual gallery.

    My opinion, you should use WP native resizing feature and resize/compress to whatever is best for your optimization.

    I’ll update my original rating, as the plugin is very useful, but I was just frustrated at waiting for the ‘add gallery’ box to load each time.. uploading and processing I could understand being effected by amount of photos and size of photos, but just to load up a bunch of thumbnails shouldn’t take more than a minute. It was literally taking 3+ minutes each time to open the window. Many times timing out on the server.

    @graphics,

    Instead of using FTP you can use zip upload which will allow adding zipped folder of images. This way there will be no issue with thumbnails. As for the images to get resized when uploading images you have the option of resizing the images, so you can use it as well. In addition you can create folders/directories and insert sets of images per each folder.
