<p><a href="http://fancybox.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">Fancybox</a> is a tool for displaying images, html content and multi-media<br />
in a Mac-style “lightbox” that floats overtop of web page. It was built using the jQuery library.</p>
<p>This plugin inserts the necessary elements required to run Fancybox on your blog. It also groups<br />
images within posts using rel attributes. (Based on the code found on <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-adding-lightbox-rel-and-group-to-images-in-posts" rel="ugc">this</a><br />
forum thread)</p>
<p>To disable Fancybox per post: Add a custom field called ‘nofancybox’ and set it’s value to ‘true’.<br />
Instructions on how to add custom fields to posts can be found at <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields" rel="nofollow ugc">this</a><br />

Easy SwipeBox

Swipebox is a great mobile-first image viewer. This plugin Just Works™, and it has an excellent admin panel exposing all the Swipebox settings.

If I had one feature requests, it's that I'd like photos to be grouped by post, instead of putting every image on the page into the same group. 

If you are currently using my old WP-jQuery Lightbox, strongly consider replacing it with Easy SwipeBox. It is better maintained, and provide a better experience on mobile devices. 

Thanks Leonardo for putting this together!

Great!

Easily enable the SwipeBox jQuery extension on all media links. Optimized for responsive layouts and touch devices.
