    I have got some images in my media files, what I want in one of the data is an anchor tag on a cell which displays image in the same page and I can able to maximize and close image which returns to my table front page without refresh. This is urgent need. I am awaiting for some positive response soon. Thanks

    Hello there.

    You can use anchor tags in string-type columns without issues. For images, though, you should use <img> tags.

    If you would like to open full-size images in lightbox, you can use a plugin for that, e.g. WP Lightbox 2 (please note that this is available for tables that aren’t editable).

    Hope that helps.

    Yes that happens but open in new page. I want the image to be opened in the same page with zoom-in, zoom-out, close and download option. Please help.

    If you are using WP LightBox 2 plugin for this functionality, it was a bug on their side. More details here

    Hi mfaisal1990,

    Ok I will start from beginning.

    In our plugin if you insert image URL in your files that you will use for creating tables, and then when the table is created you need to change column type to image and by default they are not clickable.

    If you need to open images like lightbox then you will need to insert image URL in your tables like is explain in our docs on this link.

    So you need to insert like this -https://domain.com/thumb.png||https://domain.com/fullsize.png

    Like this when users click on it, it will be open in new window/tab.

    If you install WP Lightbox 2 plugin (the latest version, because older one have bugs) you will have this functionality. This will work on all data tables in Lite version(because they are not editable). This will work properly on the front-end, not in our admin area.

    You can check our table on link that is provided and you will see this functionality.

    If you are using some other plugin for this functionality we can not guarantee that will properly work.

    Best regards.
