EC Lightbox is a minimal WordPress plugin that adds a modern lightbox to galleries using <a href="https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox" rel="nofollow ugc">GLightbox</a>.
The plugin is opt-in by behavior: once activated, it only applies its lightbox functionality to blocks where you explicitly add a custom CSS class (for example, a Gallery block). Everywhere else, WordPress behaves normally.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Uses <a href="https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox" rel="nofollow ugc">GLightbox</a> for a clean, responsive lightbox.</li>
<li>Works with WordPress core blocks (e.g. Gallery, Image).</li>
<li>Opt-in activation via a custom CSS class (<code>ec-lightbox</code>).</li>
<li>Groups images by gallery container (each block with <code>ec-lightbox</code> is its own gallery).</li>
<li>Includes a Settings page in WordPress Admin.</li>
<li>Configurable behavior: loop, touch navigation, zoom.</li>
<li>Local vendor assets by default (no hard dependency on external CDNs).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0+</li>
<li>PHP 7.0+</li>
<li>A block-based setup (Gutenberg) is recommended.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to enable EC Lightbox on a Gallery block</h3>
<ol>
<li>Insert a Gallery block.</li>
<li>Select the Gallery block itself (not a single image inside it).</li>
<li>In the block sidebar, configure:
<ul>
<li>Link to → <code>None</code></li>
<li>Disable “Open in lightbox” / “Enlarge on click” if present.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Open the Advanced panel.</li>
<li>
Add the following class: 
ec-lightbox
</li>
<li>
Update or publish the post.
</li>
</ol>
When users click an image inside that gallery, EC Lightbox will open and allow navigation through the gallery.
Note: 
Make sure individual images inside the gallery do not have click settings assigned. 
If these WP-native actions remain enabled, WordPress will attach its own click/lightbox behavior, overriding this plugin.
<h3>⚙️ Settings Page (WordPress Admin)</h3>
A configuration screen is available at:
Settings → EC Lightbox
Available options:
<ul>
<li>Loop images </li>
<li>Enable touch navigation </li>
<li>Enable zoom </li>
<li>Autoplay videos (for future video support)</li>
</ul>
All settings are passed directly to the lightbox JavaScript on initialization.
<h3>🧩 Filters & Developer API</h3>
<h3>1. Modify GLightbox options programmatically</h3>
<pre><code>`php
</code></pre>
add_filter( ‘ec_lightbox_js_options’, function ( $options ) { 
 $options[‘loop’] = true; 
 $options[‘zoomable’] = false; 
 $options[‘openEffect’] = ‘zoom’; // Any GLightbox option is accepted 
 return $options; 
}); 
 `
