I’m simply impressed on how sleek and nice this lightbox looks. It’s very fast and
lightweight.

Magnific Popup is an awesome lightboxing tool, which WF Magnific Lightbox makes 
conveniently available as a WordPress plugin, with great support.

### 󠀁[Works great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-3475/)󠁿

 [Christee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cgamron/) January 14, 2017

I was using IW Magnific Popup, but in WP 4.7 it stopped showing captions in galleries.
Activating WF Magnific Lightbox in its place solves the problems and “just works”.
No settings changes or anything. Thank you for a working Magnific plugin!
