Disable Swipe on mobile to enable Zooming?

Hey! At present, the WP Jquery Lighbox doesn’t support pinch to zoom. But the plugin has recently changed hands and we have a lot of new development and features planned in the coming months.

I’ll add this as a feature request. If we get any additional requests for it, I’ll bump the priority.

I will also add that we’ll will be adding some other Lightbox styles that I know WILL support this. We’ll just need to think if it is worth manually adding this to the existing jquery lightbox.

Thank you for your answer! I suppose there is no official roadmap yet? I think I might have to change the plugin until this is possible because our users started complaining about the lost ability to zoom, after we switched to WP jQuery Lightbox.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I’m taking a look at this today. I’m hoping I’ll have something that works in the next day or so. If so, I’ll push a release and update you here.

Hi – I just pushed a release that adds pinch-to-zoom functionality to the lightbox. Once an image is opened, you can pinch, zoom, and pan.

To avoid weird conflicts, I had to disable swipe navigation when the image is zoomed – otherwise, if you try to pan a zoomed image, it would detect a swipe and just advance to the next image instead.

So once zoomed, if you want to advance to the next image, you need to click the arrows, which are now always visible, or unzoom then swipe.

When you can, update to the latest and give that a try and let me know if it is working for you.

Thanks!

Hi! As we released this feature, I’m going mark this thread as resolved. Please feel free to post if you’re still having issues. Thanks!
