The best recommended Image Pop Up Plugin by you – with your Vantage Premium theme

Hi!
i have your Vantage Premium theme and wondering (as title says) what is the best plugin for Image Pop Up.

I need it to show only basic images, which are shown at my site for example first 200 x 200 pix, and then when clicked as pop up they appear bigger like 800×600 or something.

I dont need pop up as sign in forms etc; only for basic images and of course the plugin should be compatible with your theme and stuff.

Help needed : )

    Hi Petteri

    I like Jetpack Carousel: http://jetpack.me/support/carousel/. It only works with galleries though. For single images it is possible to insert a gallery with just one image.

    Alternatively you might try:

    Hi again!
    thanks for your reply. For some reason Jetpack (I think it was it) caused once white screen error with your premium theme and i got rid of it after that. I have always installed only plugins which are compatible with your theme. And at the moment i have wp 4.1 (the latest) version.

    So your tip was: Lightbox plus Colorbox and some reason it says in add new plugin section again:

    –> Untested with your version of WordPress

    Should I just install it Jetpack or Lightbox or what you think in general is it too “risky” to install plugins which are not tested?

    I am completely unware about which are the standards / reasons why is some plugin “tested / non tested with your wp version”

    Any helping comments, tips – what should I do?

    The compatible/not compatible info on the WordPress.org Plugins site is based on user votes.

    Give Jetpack a try again, there isn’t a known conflict with Vantage so it shouldn’t white screen. If it does there is perhaps a conflict with another plugin that’s active. Once Jetpack has been installed go to Jetpack > Settings and activated Carousel and perhaps Tiled Galleries too if you want to use that.

    Thanks again for your comment!

    Anyway, Jetpack is no longer a problem, because I am gonna edit the child theme css itself in editor. I also found one good pop up plugin that works.
