WordPress Plugin: Simple Popup Images

by David Peralty on August 1st, 2006 2 Comments

A little old-school, the Simple Popup Images shows images in their own pop-up window. None of that crazy AJAX mess.

The Simple Popup Images plugin allows you to add pop-up images to your Wordpress blog. You put a thumbnail image in your post; if a user clicks on it, a larger version appears in a separate window. Want to see it in action? Check out this post.

Features that I think are cool:

  • Plugin’s UI makes it easy to add the image and thumbnail to your post
  • Can automatically make thumbnails from a large image (requires the GD library to be installed)
  • The resulting popup window can, if you like, vanish the moment the user clicks away from it
  • Easy installation

    Hi there, this sounds like an awesome plugin :)

    Is there any possibility of using this to show swf files in the popup? That would be absolutely perfect for a project I’m currently working on.

    Please tell me it can be so :)

    Thanks!
