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:

<h3>Features</h3>

<li>Written in pure JavaScript</li>
<li>No dependencies (e.g. jQuery)</li>
<li>Image captions support</li>
<li>Responsive</li>
<li>Supports swipe gestures</li>
<li>Around 13 KB, 7 KB gzipped</li>
</ul>
<h3>Works with</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gallery Block (Default Block)</li>
<li>Image Block (Default Block)</li>
<li>Media and Text Block (Default Block)</li>

Don’t forget to select Link to → Media File for all of your Galleries & Images to work properly.
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

Adds a simple & lightweight Lightbox to the standard WordPress Gallery & Image Block. No lock in and no dependencies.

FooBox adds a lightbox to your WordPress site, so images are loaded in a modal or popup instead of redirecting your visitors away from your site.
Some people often refer to a lightbox as an “Image Zoom” effect. It’s really just a modal overlay or popup that showcases your images.
FooBox was the first lightbox to take responsive layout seriously. Not only does it scale images to look better on phones, but it rearranges it’s button controls to look great in both portrait or landscape orientation.
Add a modal popup to your website images with no setup. FooBox will automatically add modals to WordPress galleries, WordPress images with captions, and attachment images.
NEW: Auto Link Existing Images
Have older posts with images that do not open in FooBox? That is probably because those images were inserted without linking to the full-size media file. 
Enable Auto Link Existing Images and FooBox will automatically wrap unlinked WordPress attachment images on the frontend, so visitors can open them in the lightbox without you editing old content.
Works with most image gallery plugins, but works best with our <a href="https://fooplugins.com/foogallery-wordpress-gallery-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">FooGallery Gallery WordPress Plugin</a>.
FULL GUTENBERG SUPPORT
Within Gutenberg, FooBox lightbox will automatically add a modal popup to images and galleries that have the “Link To” setting set to “Media File”. 
Image captions set in the editor are also automatically picked up in the FooBox modal popup.

<ul>
<li>Responsive lightbox design</li>
<li>Modern lightbox design</li>
<li>Zero configuration!</li>

Complete FooBox Asset Control
By default, FooBox lightbox includes javascript and stylesheet assets into all your pages. We do this, because we do not know if the page content contains media or not. 
If you want more control over when FooBox assets are included, you can now exclude the assets by default, by enabling a setting. Then on each page, you can choose to include them when required. 
Alternatively, you can leave the setting disabled, and then choose to exclude the FooBox assets from particular pages. A new metabox is now available when editing your pages or posts. 
This new feature was only available in the PRO version beforehand, but we feel control over your website performance is something you should not have to pay for. Enjoy!

Lightbox & Modal Popup WordPress Plugin – FooBox


it´s easy to get going right after the install! not too complex as I am needing it for "single" images to lightbox! really excellent!!!!!!


wonderful!

stops working after 7 days


FooBox works great ouf of the box (pun intended) and is well-suited for sites that need a quick image lightbox plugin that plays well with others.



The default lightbox theme provided is professionally made and well-suited for showcasing screenshots, portfolio items, photography, and more.



If you need more layout choices and compatibility with even the peskiest lightbox plugins, please check out Pro, as it's the only license I don't hesitate to renew.
