This WordPress Plugin adds a simple & lightweight Lightbox to the standard WordPress Gallery & Image Block. It detects if a post contains a Gallery or Image Block and then loads & initialize <a href="https://github.com/feimosi/baguetteBox.js" rel="nofollow ugc">baguetteBox.js</a>, a pure JavaScript Lightbox script without any dependencies and a modern minimal look.
There is no lock in effect. It does not add a new Block Editor/Gutenberg Block and relies solo on the standard WordPress Gallery and Image Block. You can deactivate this plugin at any time and your Gallery and Image Blocks will work as they’ve done before. Just without the lightbox.
Just one important thing to remember: You always have to select Link → Link to image file or Link images to media file (see screenshots below) for all of your Image & Gallery Blocks to work properly. If you choose None or Link to attachment page it will not work. But that’s fine if you don’t want the Lightbox for a specific Image or Gallery.
Take a look at the <a href="https://youtu.be/qfLOH22cUNM" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube video from Jakson</a> where he reviews this plugin:

Notice: At the moment, just Blocks inside a post are supported. Not Blocks in a Widget. You can make it work but have to enqueue the necessary style & script yourself. See FAQ –> How to enqueue the necessary assets (script & style) for blocks outside of posts or for block types that are not supported by default?

Lightbox for Blocks


This is one of this plugins that improves WordPress with zero effort and a easy minimalistic approach that should be in the core.



Congratulations!


Brilliant and simple solution


My favourite lightweight lightbox viewer closed recently and I needed something to replace it.



This plugin is super lightweight, and has exactly the same admin interface, i.e. nothing to do, just install it and watch the magic happen on existing images and galleries. What's not to like.


A worthy successor to WP Featherlight
