Nasio Blocks


Since this plugin was published I started using it right away and it’s absolutely perfect. Every block loads instantly and works exactly as advertised—no glitches or bloat. The Post Slider and Gallery Slider blocks were a breeze to configure and look stunning right out of the box. The Accordion block handled FAQs flawlessly, and the Icon block’s custom icon swapping is super intuitive. I also love the flexible Buttons and Ads blocks for creating clear CTAs and ad placements. Everything is well-documented, performant, and truly lightweight. Highly recommend!

<p>It is built for photographers, bloggers, clubs, families, travel sites, event pages,<br />
and anyone who already organizes photos in Google Photos and wants to show them beautifully on a WordPress site.</p>

Shared Albums for Google Photos (by JanZeman)


I was excited to see your plugin in the new section here and downloaded it. to check it out.



It was an easy install with good instructions with easy-to-understand shortcodes.  It took a while to get the yellow and red banners away, but I learned more about the shortcode with each try.  If I may offer an opinion on some of the features, I liked the image quality and speed.  I ran through most of the shortcodes; I was hoping gallery mode meant a grid of images with pagination.  In carousel mode, I feel it would be best, if clicking on one of the 3 panel images, it took you to that particular image's full, non-cropped image.



I am not sure if any of these suggestions could be accomplished by shortcode, but I thought I would give you some feedback.  Appreciate your work!






Nice, but ...
