Worpdress Image Gallery Plugins: Lightview JS

Screenshot showing Lightbox JS displaying an image

A pretty slick image gallery, see the demo here.

Only Problem is, The author of the original code that the plugin is based on has decided to start charging for it, and so the author of Wordpress Plugin will no longer update the plugin.

What does this mean?
that if you use this now, when future versions of WordPress come out, this plugin might not work.

So, what do i do then?

Worry not, you should be able to find a similar (and free) plugin in the community that has a similar look, feel and functionality. Without looking much further, Matt Martz has made another plugin: ShadowBox JS. It seems very similar, and it also supports more than just images (i.e. video, html, etc). and i’m sure there are more.
