Suggestions for galleries lightbox?
5 replies · Started by Roberto Enrique on August 3, 2015
I would like to add light boxes to the galleries on posts, can you suggest a plugin to do those?
I really like the way this theme handles the standard galleries:

do you thinks is possible just to extract that "lightbox" functionality and add it as a plugin for generatepress?
Thanks
Are you using Jetpack? They have a built in Lightbox module for WordPress galleries - I think that's what the above theme is doing.
Let me know :)
No, I would like to avoid installing jetpack, i think that it installs another bunch of stuff i don't really need :-(
If you scroll down in that page you see that they also support native galleries with lightbox.
As far as I can see they are using this:

This is the solution ready-to-use in a plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-imagelightbox/
and this thread makes you go bananas with customization:

Jetpack actually lets you choose which modules to install - much like GP Premium.
So you're wanting to integrate this plugin into WP?: http://osvaldas.info/examples/image-lightbox-responsive-touch-friendly/
I should be able to come up with some instructions for you in the morning :)
No no no! I have already integrated it, thanks!
I was trying to say that the aforementioned plug-in works perfectly.
While the second link (the one regarding "bananas") gives you a really nice tip on how to customize the "style" of the plug-in.
You can see it working here:

Ah! Awesome! Glad that plugin is working for you :)
