Worked right out of the box and even supports touch screen monitors with URL hash support. Navigating and zooming in the photo works beautifully. Better than most lightbox plugins. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fad8f1770a23c1b8b5c937610c53ada29e54a9d3537161134c996cbe38a6aa88? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[требует что-то ещё](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%d1%82%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b1%d1%83%d0%b5%d1%82-%d1%87%d1%82%d0%be-%d1%82%d0%be-%d0%b5%d1%89%d1%91/)󠁿 [User966](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nik966/) December 25, 2020 Would you have any idea as to why the popup doesn’t load on click?

Unfortunately I’m experiencing a severe bug: images are loaded both as thumbnail and full-size when page loads. This bug have been reported by other users on Wordpress 5, I hope it will be fixed.
