This version is developed and tested with the newest versions of wordpress (V 6.9.4), Imagely / NextGEN gallery (V 4.1.3) and php (V 8.5.5).
The use of the new Gutenberg Blocks is highly recommanded. These blocks enable live view for almost all functionalities including fancybox display with new toolbar buttons in the editor.
Legacy shortcodes and new gutenberg blocks will work together. However, gutenberg blocks offer more functionality and are easy to customize without the need to know any particular parameter definitions.
