    To be honest, after using it for few years you have to say it is way over expectations! Any! And a full commitment of the author to look for our needs, update it for free is something you just cannot admire enough.

    Our website has used this plugin for our Photography galleries for some time now. It is the best one out there in my opinion. The author Jacob is very pro-active and extremely helpful, resolving issues very quickly. Highly recommended plugin.

    Plugin is great and really powerful with lots of settings. But it ”eats” a lot of memory so other plugins stopped working. I do not need all those numerous settings, I just need a gallery with possibility for users to download and comment pictures from frontend, so I decided to look for another decision. I`ve made contribution in translating this plugin into Ukrainian. Wish you luck 🙂

    I wanted to display my photo on my website by allowing users to select an album with photos grouped by category (B&W, Landscape, People, etc.) from which they would see a gallery of thumbnails of all the images. By clicking on the thumbnail they could see a larger version of the image. Finally, if they are interested in buying the image they can click on the large version which takes them to my third-party order fulfillment site. WP Photo Album Plus was the only plugin the could provide this type of functionality that I could find. It works great. The developer, Jacob N. Breetvelt, is very responsive and helpful also if there is ever an issue or question. I highly recommend this plugin.

    I use WP Photo Album Plus for the presentation of historical postcards. It is a fantastically powerful tool with a lot of possibilities. Especially the mass import of images with the corresponding data as CSV file were crucial for me. But the other functions are also impressive with very many setting options. Furthermore, the very fast support for questions of understanding or also function extensions is extremely good. Many thanks to Jakob and the other supporters.

    Already 6000 albums and nearly 50000 photos in my website and it works perfectly, and “cherry on the cake” the support is very responsive and open to changes. Great plugin, great developer. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by mlecat.
