So when i first starting using this plugin it was simple (as the title says), i took it further and created a custom gallery using ACF, at first it didnt work but a fast solid response from the developer fixed it all in a few days!! TAHNK YOU!!!

Did not work when I used it for the first time using Gutenberg blocks. My mistake was I did not place the Gallery into the WP-content block. Fixed it worked like charm.

I installed it, linked a picture and it worked. I could not find an embed of Google Fonts (using Firefox Inspector) so the GDPR-Complaint seems to be outdated.

After taking 10 seconds to Install and Activate Simple Lightbox, it was showing the thumbnails’ larger image file in another 10 seconds, complete with caption and grayed-out background content in a slick lightbox — truly “simple”.

Perfect. I have to write a review because it took so little of my time to get it working. Thank you.
