It features swipe, mouse and keyboard navigation, transition effects, slideshow functionality, fullscreen support and on-demand content loading and can be extended to display additional content types. This is the official WordPress plugin for the Gallery lightbox functionality. By default it automatically adds lightbox functionality to image links ending with gif, jpg, jpeg and png extensions. The plugin provides an options page to disable the automatic feature and to restrict the list of media types. It is also possible to add lightbox functionality for a link manually. ## Screenshots * [[ * Options page * [[ * Lightbox with bright image * [[ * Lightbox with dark image ## Installation 1.

When I click on the picture I need to click one more time in order to see navigation buttons. Maybe somebody knows what’s wrong? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d4af44af1da6386811afe8a794fae1d7d94735906b644c9378b10a8bfc939a9a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great lightbox, badly packaged](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-lightbox-badly-packaged/)󠁿 [michalszota](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michalszota/) September 3, 2016 The plugin enqueues around 10 scripts and css files to be loaded. And these are unoptimized, and unminified — wasting time and bandwith.
