Frequently Asked Questions

I want to use another lightbox instead of the provided one

The MONO and MULTI licenses bundle 6 different lightboxes. However you can use any other lightbox you want also with the Free license. If you have installed a lightbox plugin then you just need to select “Direct link to image” in the “Lightbox” settings.

What image size should I use?

The size of the images is not important because the final image will be resized to the size of the circle. So you should just be sure to choose a size that is at least big as the size of the circle.

How can I get support?

  • 1 year of support is included only with a MONO or MULTI license: http://circles-gallery.com/wordpress/purchase.html
