== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is this plugin compatible with minification/caching tools? =

Yes. However the small, already minified Fancybox script must be excluded from combining/minification or it won't function. This is true of any lightbox script.

For WP Minify, simply add /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery-optimizer/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js in its js file exclusion options and clear the cache.

For W3 Total Cache, do nothing. It doesn't auto-discover, so as long as you don't manually add the script, it won't be included.

= What version of NextGEN Gallery is this plugin compatible with? =

Any version since 1.6.2
