Your search is over, the work Jordy is doing to make GPT useful for websites will save you so much time. I'm only just getting into the more advanced stuff, but you can bet that it's possible with GPT, then it's being worked on with this plugin. Tons of functionality in the free version. Pro I'm certain he could charge 5 times as much for, so it's the least you can do to donate to the immense calories I'm sure it takes to keep his brain working at the pace AI is developing. The world is a significantly better place already from your work, keep it up, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!


This is the framework every website needs


I've been looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight plugin that would allow me to control the lightbox of certain areas of content.



With its easy-to-configure panel, the plugin does wonders and improves my site's UX.



Highly recommend!


A great, easy to setup plugin!

The elegant lightbox built for photographers. Fast, responsive, and displays your photos beautifully with EXIF data and maps. You'll love it! 💕

The default NextGEN gallery navigations (Shutter, Thickbox, etc…) fall short when using a mobile browser? 
Now you can use Photoswipe, the best mobile image browser, just installing this plugin. The default gallery effect and configuration is kept when accessing from a desktop browser.
After activation you’ll find a new Photoswipe submenu in the NextGEN Gallery menu, allowing you to configure how the plugin works.
Please note, I am not the developer, or related in any way with of the authors of <a href="http://www.photoswipe.com/" title="Photoswipe webpage" rel="nofollow ugc">Photoswipe</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/" rel="ugc">NextGEN Gallery</a>. This plugin is only intended to make Photoswipe integration with NextGEN Gallery dead simple.

<h4>Options</h4>
The plugin is ready to be used with zero configuration, but to make testing easier, there are 3 configuration options:
<ul>
<li>
Replace viewer with Photoswipe only on mobile browsers: 
This is the default behavior, and will replace the NextGEN Gallery Effect with Photoswipe only when a mobile browser is detected.
</li>
<li>
Always replace viewer with Photoswipe: 
Useful for testing.
</li>
<li>
Never replace the viewer: 
Disables the plugin. Much like deactivating the plugin.
</li>
<li>
Disable additional viewers: 
In this section you can disable other supported image viewers, other than the NextGEN Gallery default ones. 
Currently only Fancybox.

</ul>
