Installation

Installing this plugin as regular WordPress plugin.

After install, you are ready to add Lightbox in images. By default, the plugin auto assign WordPress regular gallery with Lightbox. But, you have to use link to attribute as file. Example this gallery shortcode will auto add Lightbox: [gallery link="file" columns="5" ids="357,356,354,353,352"].

If you want to add a lightbox in single image, you just have to use litebox in your link. Example code: <a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>.

If you want to add lightbox image image set, just use data-litebox-group="galone" in your link. Example code:

<a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" data-litebox-group="galone" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>
<a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" data-litebox-group="galone" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>
<a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" data-litebox-group="galone" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>
<a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" data-litebox-group="galone" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>
<a href="BIG_IMAGE_LINK" data-litebox-group="galone" class="litebox"><img src="THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_LINK" alt="" /></a>

Helped me with Revolution Slider

February 3, 2021

I was trying to create a button pointing to a pop-up lightbox with an image from the image gallery. After using some more “famous” lightbox plugins I tried this one and it worked as a charm. The only downfall is that there are no customization options, but I can live with that.

out of date for video embeds

rtpHarry September 16, 2020

Unfortunately, this plugin is way out of date. When you try to use it with links to the video services it converts them all to http links not https. By the looks of it, it also uses embed methods that are no longer supported, at least with YouTube. Looking at the source code it converts the links to /v/ style links not /embed/ ones, so you just get a connection refused error. Seems like it also strips out adding in extra commands to pass to YouTube like rel=0 and similar (although I’m not sure, I think rel in particular doesn’t do anything these days, but all commands are stripped out). It seems that the lightbox it’s based on was last updated in 2014 and is no longer available on the github repo it has in its copyright. Needs an overhaul to be useful again.

It does not work with YouTube

It works with Vimeo, but with YouTube when you click on the link to open the video, you will see a download notice.

A very good plugin that supports image and video.

I really like this plugin. It works really easily and makes using Lightbox in WordPress a snap. There are a few small areas where it does fall short. Such as no support for captions on image popups. I was surprised that it was not supported. Also the images don’t transition. they just instantly change from one to another. Being able to fade images or add a transition even by CSS would be a fantastic additions. It is not a total deal breaker but I am considering using another plugin for image series which means some duplication in code bases but image captions and smooth transitions are a must for Lightbox. Thanks to the developer for all of your hard work so far.

Very good
