<p>This minimal WordPress lightbox plugin adds high performance, responsive jQuery lightbox functionality to your images. When standard WordPress images/galleries are clicked, the background fades out into black as images display in lightbox popup. Galleries can be navigated with on-screen arrows, touchscreen swipes, or pressing arrows keys.</p>
<p>In order for WordPress images and galleries to be lightboxed:<br />
– You must select the “Media File” option when choosing where thumbnails should link. You can also select the “Custom Link” option if it links directly to an image file. This should work for any image file, even if it’s hosted on another website.<br />
– Enable on each post by checking “Enable lightbox” on the WP Featherlight settings.<br />
– You can also lightbox videos, iframes, and ajax content by adding data attributes to your content. For more details on custom content loading, check out the <a href="https://github.com/noelboss/featherlight/#usage" rel="nofollow ugc">featherlight documentation</a>.</p>
<p>My plugin is simply a forked version of the original <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-featherlight" rel="ugc">WP Featherlight plugin</a>. Only difference is the original loads the featherlight CSS/JS on every page whereas mine only loads when you manually enable. Big thanks to Yin and Walter for contributing.</p>
<h4>Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Ultra-lightweight – even more lightweight than the original WP Featherlight since the lightbox CSS/JS is not loaded automatically.</li>
<li>Manual activation – to enable lightbox functionality, simply click the checkbox in your post settings.</li>
<li>Retains WP Featherlight features – has all the same features and filters as the original WP Featherlight plugin (up to version 1.3.3)</li>
<li>Supports WEBP image format.</li>
</ul>

<p>Lightbox plugin that lets you add a lightbox to any or every image on your site simply by clicking on a checkbox on the plugin’s options page.</p>
<p><strong>Works with Gutenberg, for both galleries and single images!</strong></p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add lightbox functionality to all images, WordPress galleries, YouTube videos and more!</li>
<li>Add lightbox functionality to images with a specific CSS class, ID or selector</li>
<li>Full set of lightbox controls, including autoplay, zoom, maximize, close, download and more</li>
<li>Optional thumbnail strip underneath the main image in the lightbox</li>
</ul>
<p>For those unfamiliar with lightbox functionality, it is when you click on an image and, instead of opening in a new window, that image opens up in a box that appears as an overlay above your page content. You remain on the page you were on and, once you close the lightbox, you’re instantly brought back to the page. No extra navigating or time lost.</p>
<p>With our Ultimate Lightbox plugin, you can even cycle through multiple images in an open lightbox, which creates a smooth and quick browsing experience for those visiting your site.</p>
<p>You have full control over which images you want to add lightbox functionality to. You can choose to add this lightbox to all images on your site or just to images in WordPress galleries. You can even add a lightbox just to images with a specific CSS class, ID or selector.</p>
<p>With all the features you’d expect from a good lightbox plugin, with the added ability to choose from a wide variety of arrows and icon sets for the navigation controls, as well as a full complement of styling options, Ultimate Lightbox is the only WordPress lightbox plugin you will need.</p>
<h4>Additional Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose from an array of different lightbox arrow graphics</li>
<li>Choose from a variety of icon sets for your lightbox controls</li>
<li>Assign specific controls to specific corners of the lightbox screen</li>
<li>Advanced styling options that allow you to modify the color, size and font size for virtually every element within the lightbox</li>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>


Ultimate Lightbox

I reviewed this plugin, thinking it was working. Alas, it was a different lightbox plugin that I had been trying to get to work and I got confused, likely by a caching issue. Can't delete the review, so the best I can do is ask for you to ignore it. If you're an admin, feel free to delete this review.
