AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
FancyBox Gallery is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.7★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Dougal Campbell — established developer track record

How FancyBox Gallery works
FancyBox Gallery integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin into the WordPress
gallery functionality. Simply use the gallery shortcode to display
thumbnails in your posts with the option to link directly to the images (not
the attachment template), and the plugin handles the rest. You get nice
popups for the larger sized images, scaled to fit in the browser window,
with a nice overlay effect.
Features:
Automatically scales large images to fit in window
Adds a nice drop shadow under the zoomed item
Groups related items and adds navigation through them (uses preloading)
FancyBox jQuery features, not yet implemented in the WordPress plugin:
Can display images, inline and iframed content
Customizable through settings and CSS
ToDo
Add a settings screen. Allow control of FancyBox display options.
Let user set their own CSS selector, instead of assuming the standard
WordPress shortcode.
