Applies a lightbox to all image links if and only if the screen is big enough to fit a lightbox. 
Because lightboxes on iPhones should be illegal.

Conditional Lightbox

Use a lightbox only if the screen is big enough.

Add to Home Screen & Progressive Web App

I reported a bug a year ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-throwing-an-error?replies=1
To fix this, the addmetawebcapablelinks() function simply needs to moved to another area. Moving it to the top of the file is sufficient to fix the problem. If this error is fixed, I'll bump my rating up higher, but in it's current state this plugin is not usable IMO.



Broken: Throws PHP error

The plugin works perfectly on ioS devices and exactly for that it is described.

One wish of mine would be that this would also work on Android devices when using the Samsung browser or the Firefox browser. With the Google Chrome Browser the message for the installation of the PWA is displayed but not in Firefox etc. 

Maybe there will be an update of the plugin in the future where this can be done ;)

Best regards
Joachim

Great Plugin
