DISCONTINUATION NOTICE: 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.
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.
You can also make single non-<code>[gallery]</code> images use the lightbox by giving their links a class of “lightbox”, like so:
<pre><code><a href="..." class="lightbox"><img src="..." alt="..." /></a>
</code></pre>

LightPress

LightPress Lightbox is a popular, very lightweight lightbox plugin for WordPress. It is active 40,000 websites. After activation, settings will appear under ‘Lightbox’ on your website’s main admin menu, and images and galleries will open in a nice lightbox.
To make images open in the lightbox, you need to set images to “Link To:” media file. For image blocks, this setting is on the toolbar at the top of the block. For galleries, this setting is on the sidebar by other block options.
