ARI Fancy Lightbox – Popup for WordPress

Description

Need a lightbox plugin to show various content on any device (from mobile to desktop)? ARI Fancy Lightbox is the right choice.

It uses Fancybox popup to bring lightbox effect to WordPress sites. Use it to show images from native WordPress, NextGEN, FooGallery, Justified Image Grid and Jetpack galleries, photos, videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Vine, Metacafe services, PDF documents, Google Maps links, inline content, external pages into the lightbox.

It works with WordPress native and Jetpack (tiled, circle) galleries out of the box. Just install and activate the plugin and images from galleries will be opened into fancybox popup.

Easy to use, no need any additional modification of HTML code. Just select media items which want to display into the lightbox (for example YouTube or Vimeo videos) and the plugin attaches lightbox automatically to all appropriate links on your site.

The Best Lightbox in WordPress!

Josh Journey August 21, 2024 1 reply

I’ve installed dozens of lightboxes in search of the perfect one. And this is it! Light weight, very fast, has pretty url hash, and is visually dazzling. The demo showcases the gallery well. As a free user I asked a question in the forums, swiftly received a great response. I was sold on getting the pro version which is an incredible value. Out of the box there is a plethora of features followed by customizations in the forums. The ability to convert links to iframes, videos, and other content is the cherry on top. Most responsive lightboxes don’t work with touch screen monitor swipes, Air Fancy Lightbox is the exception to this and swipes beautifully. I also love that images are zoomed to the precise position via a single touch, the second and third best galleries I’ve tested require more effort to navigate (double tab). Full screen can be enabled by default so your audience can jump straight in to the best viewing experience. Support has been great. ?? This plugin comes highly recommended! ★★★★★

Works well for pdfs

We’re using it for pdfs, which aren’t supported by most lightboxes. Good plugin & excellent support.

I’ve been looking for it for a long time!
