Photoswipe for NextGEN Gallery

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Like others, I would use photoswipe on my phone and see this at the top of my blog: \wp-content\plugins\photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery\ngg-photoswipe.php on line 41 To fix this, go to that file, edit it and change lines 41-43 to: // if (1 == $options[‘fancybox’]) { // wp_enqueue_script(‘ngg-photoswipe-disable-fancybox.js’, plugins_url(‘p$ // } This disables the check for fancybox. If you’re using fancybox, you’re on your own.

   I have a simple, custom WP site built on 3.6. Have a single NextGen gallery with 20 photos. Upon installation this plugin throws and error and crashes the nextgen gallery page. The error I received is: Warning: Illegal string offset ‘fancybox’ in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery\ngg-photoswipe.php on line 41 Bummer…was hoping this plugin would work.

   I spent several hours tinkering with the code to integrate photoswipe with nextgen gallery – then a few weeks later this plugin was created…it just works and i dont have to mess around with anything. works great with headway theme as well. ALTHOUGH – it does not work with the nextgen gallery sidebar widget that pulls random images. add this and you got yourself 5 stars! It only works with nextgen galleries that are “on page” and embedded with the shortcode.
