User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Simple Lightbox plugin for its ease of use, quick installation, and minimal configuration requirements. It effectively enhances image displays by creating attractive lightbox galleries that can be navigated with ease. Users particularly value the prompt support from developers and its compatibility with various themes and other plugins without causing conflicts. However, some users reported initial setup issues and incompatibilities with certain themes or page builders like Beaver Builder. The plugin’s performance can be hindered by loading multiple scripts, which affects page speed. It doesn’t support some modern image formats like WEBP and lacks advanced customization options, including control over animation speeds and easy shortcode usage.

Did not work when I used it for the first time using Gutenberg blocks. My mistake was I did not place the Gallery into the WP-content block. Fixed it worked like charm.

I installed it, linked a picture and it worked. I could not find an embed of Google Fonts (using Firefox Inspector) so the GDPR-Complaint seems to be outdated.

After taking 10 seconds to Install and Activate Simple Lightbox, it was showing the thumbnails’ larger image file in another 10 seconds, complete with caption and grayed-out background content in a slick lightbox — truly “simple”.
