Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Inlarge – Inline Image Zoom version 1.2.6 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Inlarge brings the abc-enlarge jQuery library to WordPress. Unlike typical lightbox plugins that dim the whole screen, it enlarges the clicked image in place — the article text around it stays readable. Ideal for web magazines and long-form articles.
👉 Try the live demo — click an image and watch the text keep flowing around it. A before/after comparison is in the screenshots below.
What it does
Automatically adds the abc-enlarge class to linked images in your post content (only images wrapped in a link to an image file, so nothing breaks).
Swaps in the high-resolution image from the link’s href on click, and restores the small one on collapse.
On portrait phones, expands the image into a horizontally scrollable, auto-centered view.
Can also apply to WordPress galleries (classic and block), making those images enlargeable regardless of their link setting. Off by default — tick it per post.
Lets you disable enlargement per post — enabled by default.
Runs on one very small JavaScript file. No extra CSS file is loaded.
Usage
Under Settings → Inlarge, tick which post types (post, page, custom post types) enlargement runs on. Only checked post types are enabled; all eligible types are checked by default.
Within an enabled post type, each post also has controls in the Inlarge box:
Block editor: the box appears at the bottom of the editor.
Classic editor: the box appears in the right-hand sidebar.
The “Enable image enlargement for this post” checkbox is checked by default; uncheck it to opt that post out. The Apply to WordPress galleries checkbox is off by default — tick it when you also want images inside classic and block galleries to be enlargeable.
