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 Gallery & Image Block

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

The free “Classic Editor +” plugin is targeted at everyone who does not want to use the WP Block Editor (Gutenberg), introduced in WordPress 5.0. Install it now on sites and the UX remains the same as you are used to without redundant styling being added to the frontend of your site!
What’s New: 
Removes WP Patterns
This plugin simply disables the WP Block Editor, removes any and all styling from both front- and backend and disables the block editor for widgets too.
And if WooCommerce and/or WPML are installed on the site, “Classic Editor +” removes the block styles of those plugins too.
There are no Settings, it simply does what it says on the label.
Therefore I highly recommend installing this “Classic Editor +” plugin.
I support this plugin exclusively through <a href="https://github.com/senlin/classic-editor-addon/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue here. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
If you like the “Classic Editor +” plugin, please consider leaving a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/classic-editor-addon?rate=5#postform" rel="ugc">review</a>. Thanks!

Classic Editor +

The "Classic Editor +" plugin disables the block editor, removes enqueued scripts/styles and brings back classic Widgets.
