### 󠀁[Obsolete plug-in 🙁](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obsolete-plug-in/)󠁿

Obsolete and partly nonfunctional plug-in. Too bad! Once it was my first choice.

### 󠀁[One to keep in your WP-plugin arsenal!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-to-keep-in-your-wp-plugin-arsenal/)󠁿

I consult, setup, secure and manage WordPress websites for a living. I discovered
auto-thickbox many years ago and since it (more or less) accessed the existing thickbox
scripts in WordPress it avoided unnecessary bloat! Flat out though.. it works! I’m
still perplexed why WordPress doesn’t integrate thickbox to make it automatically
accessible for us. Till then there’s auto-thickbox! THANKS!
