Mosaic Gallery Images Too Small and Not Opening in Lightbox

    Hi, I’m running the Sparkling Theme from Colorlib and I have Jetpack installed with several tiled mosaic galleries. Almost every image is 1150×757, currently set in gallery to display at full size tiled mosaic. I am indeed aware that they won’t display at true full size unless I switch it to thumbnails, but that’s fine because I don’t need true full size. What I’d like to solve is that sometimes the images are shrunk down into tiny little thumbnails that are too small. Ideally I could insert a code to never display an image smaller than a specified size.

    Here are some examples of what I’m seeing currently:

    The second issue is that when a photo is clicked it is not opening in a standard lightbox. Checking with Colorlib, they say both of these are issues for JetPack support ?? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m afraid Jetpack’s Tiled Galleries don’t offer such an option; the image sizes are automatically generated in order to create a homogeneous gallery grid, without any gaps between gaps.

    The second issue is that when a photo is clicked it is not opening in a standard lightbox.

    To use that feature, you’ll need to go to Jetpack > Settings in your dashboard, and enable the Carousel module:

    Hi Jeremy ?? Your advice solved the images opening in a lightbox, thank you so much! I’m really disappointed about the tiled galleries not being able to maintain a minimum image size. I hope at some point it will be revised or I can find an alternate solution. I keep thinking that if I sized my original images a certain way, and told jetpack to use original sized images not thumbnails, maybe it would work…
