Name: Simple Lightbox
This Plugin was not very intuitive but has some great features. I was recommended to use it through a list of cool plugins. Walking into it without knowing what it was made it very difficult to figure out. However I discovered what it was for fairly quickly and that is creating a gallery of images/video that people can click through, and my hypothesis was confirmed by this post as I attempted to add a gallery to it. Additionally the description on WordPress was not very helpful in discovering what it was as it describes lightbox as “a very simple and customizable lightbox that is easy to add to your WordPress website.” I didn’t know what a lightbox was and that wasn’t helpful.
I think it will it will have many implications for creating a gallery of images for my portfolio website. Overall should be very useful despite the lack of helpful UI.
It has a 4.5 star rating on WordPress with 100,00+ installations.
I give Simple Lightbox a 4 star review for a lack of intuitive UI but overall a good feature to have access to.
