I recommend this plugin, it’s a beautiful gallery plugin. Easy to use and beautiful on any website. I also love the fact that the lightbox can show captions and the description of photos. Most plugins can’t do both. I had one problem and it was because I was using webp format. It was solved very quickly, so when you use webp, this plugin can manage it! So, great plugin an very easy to use.
