Did not see that coming!

Such a perfect, well thought(how do i say this, the lightbox work you did), fast and simplest plugin 🙂 just a suggestion: I wish there be one like this for unsplash too (or can be incorporated to this) & yes option for size too.

Excellent plugin and responses to suggested modifications

What a great plugin and I don't see any others like it. Since I use this with students in school I asked developer to add the SafeSearch option to the latest release and he did it! Now my students can safely search for images on PixaBay for the featured images I require of them on their posts. Wow!

Do not use with DIvi

This plugin breaks the divi builder. It took hours of testing to determine this plugin was the culprit, but as soon as I deactivated it, I could once again use the divi builder to build pages on my website.
