Description
EverlightBox has a very social attitude: users can comment the image they’re currently seeing.
EverlightBox is a very fast and safe lightbox for WordPress. It can be used with WordPress galleries like:
- WordPress native galleries
- Final Tiles Gallery
- PhotoBlocks Grid Gallery
and any linked image. You can even activate it using custom CSS selectors, so it’s virtually compatible with every gallery plugin.
EverlightBox is also a perfect solution for mobile devices, it supports swipe gestures so users are able to browse your images in a more natural way.
All users are welcome to propose new features, enhancements and bug fixes.
