<p>This plugin transforms the Gutenberg gallery block into a lightbox with previous/next navigation. It was built to offer those who wish to present a series of images in lightbox/slider format with a simple, lightweight solution.</p>
<h4>Installation</h4>
<ul>
<li>Install the plugin through the Install Plugins interface or by uploading the <code>ggbl-lightbox</code> folder to your <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Make sure you select “Media File” in the Link To dropdown menu for your galleries</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why did you make this plugin?</h4>
<p>I haven’t found a lightbox that is optimized for Gutenberg galleries. Many generate their own gallery formats or contain unneccesary options. I wanted to build one that was as minimal as possible, while offering a functional and elegant experience.</p>
