<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Just <strong>one important thing to remember</strong>: You always have to select <em>Link</em> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <em>Link to image file</em> or <em>Link images to media file</em> (see screenshots below) for all of your Image & Gallery Blocks to work properly. If you choose <em>None</em> or <em>Link to attachment page</em> it will not work. But that’s fine if you don’t want the Lightbox for a specific Image or Gallery.</p>
<p>Take a look at the <a href="https://youtu.be/qfLOH22cUNM" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube video from Jakson</a> where he reviews this plugin:</p>

<p><strong>Notice</strong>: 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 <em>FAQ</em> –> <em>How to enqueue the necessary assets (script & style) for blocks outside of posts or for block types that are not supported by default?</em></p>


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.

It is ideal for site owners who want richer content layouts and practical UI elements without switching to a full page builder.</p>
<p>Use Shortcodes Ultimate in the Block Editor, Classic Editor, widgets and template files. Generate shortcodes visually, preview the result before inserting it, and reuse the same elements across posts, pages and existing shortcode-based content.</p>
<p>Trusted by hundreds of thousands of WordPress sites, Shortcodes Ultimate helps you replace multiple single-purpose UI plugins with one maintained toolkit. <a href="https://getshortcodes.com/docs-category/shortcodes/?utm_campaign=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_source=demos" rel="nofollow ugc">Explore live examples</a></p>

<h4>What you can build</h4>

<li>Boxes, notes and callouts</li>
<li>Columns and layout helpers</li>

<li>Post lists and dynamic content blocks</li>

<p>Instead of installing a separate plugin for every small content element, Shortcodes Ultimate gives you one maintained toolkit for everyday WordPress content tasks.</p>
<h4>Works with modern and classic WordPress workflows</h4>
<p>Shortcodes Ultimate works with the Block Editor, Classic Editor, widgets and template files. You can insert shortcodes manually, use WordPress shortcode blocks or use the built-in shortcode generator to configure elements visually.</p>
<p>This makes the plugin useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Site owners who want to improve content without coding</li>
<li>Bloggers and affiliate publishers who need reusable CTA and content blocks</li>

<h4>Why shortcodes still matter in WordPress</h4>
<p>The WordPress Block Editor is great for visual content editing, but shortcodes are still useful when you need portable, reusable content elements that work across different parts of a WordPress site.</p>
<p>Shortcodes are especially helpful when you want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reuse the same content element in many posts or pages</li>

<li>Keep common UI elements available through a simple text-based syntax</li>
</ul>
