## Description

Simple Fancybox for WordPress image gallery. Works for both, shortcode gallery in
classic editor and Gutenberg blocks. Install and activate, nothing else to set up
here. Fancybox will work for WordPress galleries. Only important thing is to set
link to file, we don’t want to open attachment page. By default, the plugin will
use jQuery to apply FancyBox to any thumbnails that link directly to an image.

Fancybox includes support for touch gestures and even supports pinch gestures for
zooming. It is perfectly suited for both mobile and desktop browsers.

Fancybox has been tested in following browsers/devices:

 * Chrome
 * Firefox
 * IE10/11
 * Edge
 * iOS Safari
 * Android 7.0 Tablet
