В целом все нормально, пользуюсь пару лет. Не хватает адаптации grid под разные экраны. И недавно слетели описания картинок. Хотя, возможно, Modula здесь ни при чем

Modula is hands down the best WordPress gallery plugin I’ve used. It’s super easy to set up, looks amazing, and loads fast without slowing down my site. I love how flexible the layouts are, and the hover effects and lightbox features add a nice touch. Plus, it works perfectly on mobile. If you need a gallery plugin that’s simple but powerful, this is the one to get.

Used the plugin for a few years with mixed results. Biggest shortcoming was it only works with WordPress media files – no external to WP storage (e.g., AWS or GCP). Decided to change to Google Drive Embedder instead. De-installed and deleted the plugins, but forgot to login to the Modula website and unsubscribe. When our credit card was charged for the auto renewal, we contacted support to cancel and issue a refund. It was the same day. They refused, and only could offer that it was their “policy” to not issue a refund. “It states on our site that the renewal is automatic.” “If the user does not cancel the subscription before it is processed, it means he/she wants to continue using the plugin and receiving updates & support.” It was the same flipping day that the credit card was auto charged for renewal. So yeah, horrendous customer service. So now we pay for 364 days of a de-installed and deleted plugin, because that’s their policy. I suspect that I am not the only person to fall victim to their policy as they immediately chose – without my request – to cancel the auto-renewal of the subscription. “The most we can do at the moment is stop the subscription so you will no longer be charged next year – which I did.” Is this a sour-grapes review? Not in the least. It is an honest review of the plugin, and an honest and detailed review of the lack of customer service. If it was sour-grapes, I would have rated it a 1-star. So buyer beware, I guess this is what you get when you license a plugin outside the United States (in this case, I believe Bucharest). No concept of customer service to be found anywhere.

This was exactly what I needed, thank you!It did however have an accessibility issue when in lightbox mode where I wasn’t able to navigate with the arrows on my keyboard. Also tabbing through the masonry gallery there was no indicator as to which image I was on. I experienced the latter issue in Firefox, but Chrome handled that fine!

I can’t praise the customer support enough here. Beatrice who helped us was just fantastic. She walked us through as much of it as we could tackle and when we got stuck she went ahead and took the initiative to finish the whole process for us. Can’t get much better customer service than that. *Plus the plugin is fantastic too. Spot on. Can’t rate them highly enough.
