Changelog
1.5.2
- In the “Donate link” parameter value (which is the author’s BTC wallet) https://chart.googleapis.com/ (stopped working, as many other Google projects) was replaced with https://quickchart.io/.
1.5.1
- The “Tested up to” parameter value was increased as the plugin is ready for the coming WordPress version (6.9).
1.5
- Now a clicked and zoomed image will display title under it, if its image block in the block editor has a title/alt specified.
1.4.3
- The support for single images (wrapped with links to media files) without alignment was fixed again.
1.4.2
- The “Tested up to” parameter value was increased as the plugin is ready for the coming WordPress version (6.5).

1.4.1
- The support for single images (wrapped with links to media files) was fixed.
1.4
- The Russian translation of the first paragraph on the plugin’s options page was fixed.
- The order of the supported multimedia blocks on the plugin’s options page was changed.
After the 2nd round or the plugin’s review by WordPress Plugin Review Team:
- This ReadMe.txt file was completed to become valid according to https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/readme-validator/.
- The only one function in the main plugin’s PHP file (fancybox-multimedia-blocks.php) had no plugin’s prefix (fancybox_multimedia_blocks_) in its name so it was fixed.
- The main plugin’s PHP file (fancybox-multimedia-blocks.php) was protected from direct access to it.
1.3
After the 1st round or the plugin’s review by WordPress Plugin Review Team:
- The “Tested up to” parameter was added to this ReadMe.txt file with the value of the current WordPress version (6.4).
- The value of the “Stable tag” parameter was fixed (it reflected the WordPress’ version instead of the plugin’s one).
- Calling the FancyBox files remotely was replaced with local, inside-the-plugin versions (fancybox.css and scripts/fancybox.umd.js).
1.2
- The list of the supported image formats (bmp|dib|gif|heic|ico|jfif|jpe|jpeg|jpg|png|svg|tif|tiff|webp) was added to the plugin’s initialization script to make its work more precise.
1.1
- Additional CSS conditions (a:not([rel=”noreferrer noopener”]) and a[data-fancybox^=”wp-block-gallery”]) were added to the plugin’s initialization script to make its work more precise.
1.0
- The initial implementation of the simple idea due to the absense of it in the WordPress’ plugins directory.
