<p><strong>DISCONTINUATION NOTICE:</strong> Development on this plugin has ceased in favor of the carousel module in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/" rel="ugc">Jetpack plugin</a>. I recommend you use that plugin instead — it’s much more full featured.</p>
<p>Makes the native WordPress galleries use a lightbox script called <a href="http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/" rel="nofollow ugc">ColorBox</a> to display the fullsize images right there in the page. No modifications required.</p>
<p>You can also make single non-<code>[gallery]</code> images use the lightbox by giving their links a class of “lightbox”, like so:</p>
<pre><code><a href="..." class="lightbox"><img src="..." alt="..." /></a>
</code></pre>


jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries

Makes the native WordPress galleries use a lightbox script called ColorBox to display the fullsize images.

<p>This plugin was written to take care of the invalid HTML that WordPress produces when using the <code>[gallery]</code> shortcode.</p>
<p>It does a bit more than that though.  It will integrate with many Lightbox-type scripts and allow you to do much cooler things with your galleries.  Plus, it has a couple of extra options that you can play around with.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Uses HTML5 <code><fig></code> and <code><figcaption></code> elements.</li>
<li>Integrates with <a href="http://schema.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Schema.org microdata</a>.</li>
<li>Uses the <code>aria-describedby</code> attribute to make images + captions more accessible to users with disabilities.</li>
<li>Validates the invalid code that WordPress spits out.</li>
<li>Several options on how you want your gallery images.</li>
<li>Allows multiple galleries in a single post.</li>
<li>Ability to set the number of images shown in each gallery.</li>
<li>Ability to exclude or include any images from your gallery.</li>
<li>Doesn’t load any extra CSS or JavaScript unless you choose to do so.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Integrates with 18 different Lightbox-type scripts</h3>
