• I am giving this plugin a big fat 5 stars and I may add it’s first plugin that I leave my review for (and I have experience with a lot of them).

    Not only this Lightbox look modern, is lightweight enough, but it gives you more than enough options to customize its theme a bit, can be translated if need be, offers quite a few integrations, including WooCommerce, which was my main goal, and oh boy it does it well out of the box.

    As far as my impressions go, this plugin is still in early stages but already offers more than those that are in the game for years, the most popular ones (not going to mention titles, that probably would not be nice).

    A lot of lightboxes that I used previously were struggling with picking up images in custom content (having “lightbox” attribute would be main thing they would attach themselves to), but only one was doing it well, and it was the one I used for a long time before discovering this one. Previous lightbox, even thought it was picking up images in custom content, just wouldn’t work on content manipulated with jQuery (and it had plenty of other issues, while still being better than rest of lightboxes on WordPress plugins repository) so I went on lookout for decent looking minimalistic, sleek and elegant lightbox, that would not only look good, but also do the job right.
    ARI Fancybox gave me joy when it picked up these images.

    And they solved my issue with WooCommerce (custom one, that doesn’t come with default installations) within a day or so, which means they are putting the work in.

    I am certain this plugin will blow up, sooner or later (with the work they put in and proper marketing, it really should). I recommend this lightbox to anyone that wants lightweight, good looking, very much functional Lightbox, especially developers. A must have plugin that is well worth 5 stars.

    Sure:

    * Ability to hide image title/filename in Lightbox without needing to use CSS to hide it.
    *Some way to change up layout a tad – mainly having navigation arrows/chevrons on sides and bigger rather than up top (you could introduce some basic themeing in the future, I guess this would be something ‘different’ that not many if any Lightboxes offer).

    These 2 things that come on top of my mind right now. Rest seemed to satisfy my particular needs.

    Thanks again!

    Thank you for your suggestions. We will add “Hide title” parameter to the next version of the plugin and will add layout editor to our TODO list.
