Will make your upload folder huge and dev is mia

Changed it from 1 star to 2 stars because even if he ignores the support forum for the most part, at least he’s occasionally updating the plugin. Also, I’ve found that most gallery plugins make multiple copies, just in case.

Scratch that:Changing it back to 1 star and I’m going to go through the 2 days of work to install something else. Yes, 450 images spread out into several different albums, not to mention removing the extraneous images. Latest issue is the new lazy loading feature. It’s broken and now the images half load and overlap each other. It truly is a joke.

See the support forums. This thing will make up to 15-20 different size copies of every image even if you’re only using 1 or 2 sizes for your gallery. People are getting into trouble with their hosting over this. I have 7 wp sites and the one with this plugin is bigger than the rest combined. I’ve got 450 images and took a lot of extra time to optimize them to be an average of 150kb. This should total up to 70mb or so but my uploads folder is over 700mb.(I’m one of the lucky ones that only has 12 copies of every image) It’s like a sick joke.
It’s also very quirky and I have to add to the gallery with text view of the post editor which is pretty time consuming, looking up all the image IDs after uploading. If I don’t do text view, it will break things.
Find something better, even if you have to pay for it. It will be cheaper in the long run if your time is worth anything at all.
