Always open post in lightbox

  • Hi, I am totally new to wordpress and I find gridsby is a very great theme with nice layouts and highly customisable.

    I used Shortcodes Ultimate to add an image carousel in my posts so users can quickly navigate to other posts without going back to the home page, however the carousel will navigate to the post’s direct link, but I want all posts to be opened in lightbox only. Is it possible? Thanks a lot!

    Hello,

    If you are creating the carousel with a Shortcodes Ultimate plugin then that is independent of the theme itself.

    There may be an option within the plugin while creating the gallery to open images in a lightbox. If you are having struggles, you may want to post on the support forums for the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin itself.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Is there a way to link to gridsby’s lightbox content?

    I want to add links to other gallery image-posts inside a gallery post, but I only manage to open them as regular blogposts (and I want the lightbox layout, as available via homepage).

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Best regards,
    Sara

    Sara,

    Since the lightbox images themselves do not have an actual single URL, it is not possible to link directly to an image inside a lightbox.

    Each image does, however, have a single post permalink which looks more like a standard blog post. You can get the by editing your post, and selecting “View.”

    Thanks!
