for Flexibility

It has been a long time since I found a plugin for wordpress which is this fast, so well coded, so versatile and with such a great support.
I can only recommend this if you are in need of a fantastic portfolio plugin. You can use it for so much more.

for Customer Support

My 5-star review is for ALL of the following:
Code quality
Features & functionality
Documentation
Customer support & follow-up.

10 years on Envato Market, David & Castleplugins are at the top of the list. Support and follow-up are extremely important. Like all of the reviews I read in considering this app, straight up AWESOME.

Wonderful app, easy to install & customize. Client rich features.

for Design Quality

Amazing! Playing with the plugin and discovering it, a couple of times I was thinking like "And how do I..." or "Imagine I would like to...".

The overall logic, perfect structure, flawless design, extraordinary user experience, perfect balance of features and simplicity answered all this kind of questions positively and quickly.

I am truly impressed by the overall quality of this piece of SW. Thank you!

for Customer Support

I rate this plugin 5 stars for the Customer support, but it is also a great customizable solution and it suits perfectly for my products catalogue. Higly suggested.

for Customer Support

Amazing product and support! It took a minute to figure out how to customize how I wanted... just because of so many amazing options. The tech support was great at helping me figure out everything!

for Customer Support

I have a client who has been using this plugin for the last 1.5 years, and it is SUCH a fantastic plugin packed with options. I have not found any other gallery / portfolio option that can even compete. On top of that, I have been super impressed with the customer support. I reached out with a few questions that I couldn't figure out through the documentation or on my own and the developer (David) got back to me straight away with helpful solutions. I'm just so impressed! I'll be buying more licenses for future gallery requirements, no doubt. Thank you!

for Bugs

I think in general this gallery looks great. However, I find that it does have 3 main mistakes and therefore I might have to replace it with another plugin.

1: When you are on the phone and click on a picture, you get the grey overlay with the title, but when you click again it doesn't disappear. To see that picture again, you then have to click on another picture. This gives an unprofessional feel to the gallery.

2: I don't see the option to have the pictures shown in a lightbox, when you click on them, so the viewer has the possibility to see the picture on full screen.

3: I prefer not to have the Lazy Load option on, as I have more things on the page, under the gallery. When you don't use the Lazy Load and has a filter with different categories, the pictures in the categories will not automatically show up, if they are not among the first loaded pictures of the original gallery. So if you, for example, have a gallery with 9 pictures and then the "Load More" option, it will only be the "Load More" button showing up, when you choose a category that does not have any pictures within the first 9 pictures of the gallery. A similar issue comes with the Lazy Load also. The pictures still don't show up, before you scroll down a little. This again I think gives an unprofessional feel to the gallery.

Hello V-Hansen,


Sorry to hear that you couldn't find a solution to your issues, here are the solutions:




You can find the option to show the image in the lightbox here (when you click on it): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nGkCrZ6Qw1bfi8bJG5i9worKpLI5rRmI/view?usp=sharing




About the filtering issue (when there's no images on a specific filter by default) there's a specific option to solve that problem, you can set the minimum items per filter here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sCa7Nf8DRPU6odewkYCrIPw0iHLw9kZ-/view?usp=sharing and that will load images automatically when you choose an empty category :)




let me know if this makes sense, I'll be happy to give you a hand, you can contact me here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact




Best, David

Super nice and fast customer support. Plugin itself is very nice aswell!

for Design Quality

very happy with this plugin after using multiple filtering gallery plugins that had glitches. customer service is very responsive, the plugin does exactly what i need it to without issues, and there is a lot of customizability. i'm using it with divi, which is a pretty heavy wordpress theme too. very happy :)

for Customer Support

What a great plugin! And David provides amazing support! He really went out of his way to help me with user-caused issues. Highly recommend this versatile plugin.
