Jetpack Carousel

­
.fusion-fullwidth-1 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }

The Carousel lightbox from a plugin called Jetpack is very unique. Its EXIF display capability appeals to photographers. Also, it has the space to host a vast amount of captions. So in case you write novel-length descriptions for photos or telling a story, this lightbox is for you. Visitors can interact with your photos using the comments below each photo.

.fusion-fullwidth-2 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }

How does Jetpack Carousel look like?

It's a full screen lightbox that comes with a dark and a light theme. Click on the photos to see it in action!

Is Jetpack Carousel a good choice for me?

It has certain benefits that no other lightbox can offer. The most important is the commenting ability and the EXIF support.

How do the settings look like?

I love this plugin. I now have 8 or 9 clients that I have sent to CodeCanyon to purchase this. I then configure and EVERYBODY loves it. The docs are pretty decent and the interface is not difficult at all but that does not mean that a sense of design is not required. With some good design sense and some css abilities there is not much this plugin can't do. Kudos to Firsh! THANK YOU! I have even used it as an initial interface from a home pages and the client is super happy. Rock on with the plug Firsh!

Love it?

The author is on top of his support and responds at speed of light. The plug in is just awsome and very flexible. Most importantly it works, is fast and images look great. By far the best and most comprehensive plug in that I've installed in the process of building my website!
