Showing the title may have been a pro setting, but I didn't want to pay for it since it seemed buggy ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4c731d9c9c001a2fc6e29e4fa0e3e8bece02ddcedc80285b3d9798bddaeb2720? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Красивый и офигенный плагин](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%d0%ba%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%81%d0%b8%d0%b2%d1%8b%d0%b9-%d0%b8-%d0%be%d1%84%d0%b8%d0%b3%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%bd%d1%8b%d0%b9-%d0%bf%d0%bb%d0%b0%d0%b3%d0%b8%d0%bd/)󠁿 [ydzyuinwp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ydzyuinwp/) 7 March 2025 Такого плагина как этот вы больше нигде не найдете.

This plugin allowed me to do this in 5 minutes. The animations on load and hover may seem like too much, but they can be disabled in a few seconds. Thanks for the great plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/965d31300afc6a2a298767c962cf3152f20a748403508ad58877ef778ff17cab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ottimo plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ottimo-plugin-358/)󠁿 [bigportal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bigportal/) 26 February 2024 Ottimo e semplice plugin anche nella sua versione free. La versione premium consente di pubblicare molti album. Peccato non poter personalizzare di più senza conoscenze di css. Anche l'assistenza è immediata. Al prezzo pagato comunque, uno dei migliori. Excellent and simple plugin even in its free version. The premium version allows you to publish many albums. Too bad I can't customize more without CSS knowledge. At the price paid however, one of the best.
