Acclectic Media

Acclectic Lightbox is an advanced and configurable lightbox that displays images and photos in your WordPress galleries in full screen, complete with file information, camera EXIF metadata, and embedded maps showing photo location. Unlike most existing lightboxes, it supports native WordPress galleries and images, so it will always work and you need not be dependent on third-party gallery plugins. It is also highly configurable, and gives you control over almost every aspect of the lightbox’s look and feel.

<h3>Features</h3>
EXIF 
Displays EXIF metadata for each image (if it is available) such as aperture, shutter speed, exposure (and many other tags). You can enable or disable the display of EXIF metadata for each gallery. For a list of all supported EXIF tags, please refer to the plugin’s <a href="https://www.acclectic.com/support/wordpress-lightbox-docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a>.
GPS Mapping 
Displays an embedded map showing the location at which the image was captured, based on GPS coordinates in the image metadata.
Native gallery and image support 
Unlike most existing lightboxes, the Acclectic Lightbox works with native WordPress galleries and images. This means that you do not need to create a custom gallery (with a third-party gallery plugin) in order to use the lightbox. It also means that the lightbox will always work wth WordPress, and you are not dependent on third-party gallery plugins.

Integration across images and galleries 
If you have multiple images or galleries on a post or page, they can share a single lightbox. Or keep them separate via a simple button click.
File information 
Displays pertinent information about each image, including file size, date/time taken, and date/time modified. You can enable or disable the display of file information for each gallery.

Your search is over, the work Jordy is doing to make GPT useful for websites will save you so much time. I'm only just getting into the more advanced stuff, but you can bet that it's possible with GPT, then it's being worked on with this plugin. Tons of functionality in the free version. Pro I'm certain he could charge 5 times as much for, so it's the least you can do to donate to the immense calories I'm sure it takes to keep his brain working at the pace AI is developing. The world is a significantly better place already from your work, keep it up, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!


This is the framework every website needs


I've been looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight plugin that would allow me to control the lightbox of certain areas of content.



With its easy-to-configure panel, the plugin does wonders and improves my site's UX.



Highly recommend!


A great, easy to setup plugin!

The elegant lightbox built for photographers. Fast, responsive, and displays your photos beautifully with EXIF data and maps. You'll love it! 💕
