Hi

I'm using WordPress Posts to display 60 or so products and would like 6 or so images for each product.

The default WordPress gallery is a bit basic - thumbnails which crop my images linking to a post with a full size image.

I'd like the thumbnails to open a lightbox gallery on click that the visitor can scroll through.

I'd like it to be a easy to use and am happy to pay.

I see Jetpack has been recommended which I'll look at more closely. And NextGEN Gallery seems popular too.
Is one better suited than the other for me? Any others I've missed?

Thanks All.

If your images are all the same size, you can go to Settings > Media and set the thumbnail size to your liking. Then use the Jetpack carousel which opens into a lightbox.

Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
