A page can include a product gallery, a tutorial video, and an audio presentation without placing every item directly in the layout. Lightbox Block Pro opens media and custom content in responsive popups that adapt to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens.

Choose media for each lightbox

Standard lightboxes support images, audio, video, and custom content. Pro includes PDFs, iframes, YouTube videos, and custom HTML. Use self-hosted or external video sources, add a title or description as a caption, and create multiple independent galleries on one site.

This range can fit portfolios, product galleries, tutorials, media libraries, audio presentations, documents, and embedded content.

Place and arrange galleries

Add a Lightbox Block in the Gutenberg editor, or use shortcode support to place a lightbox outside the block editor. Choose a default grid or Masonry layout, then adjust row and column gaps and other spacing. Multiple lightbox types can appear on the same page without conflicts.

Visitors can view items as a slideshow, open media in fullscreen, or navigate with thumbnail previews. Pro includes Classic and Modern thumbnail styles and Slide, CrossFade, Classic, and Default transitions.

Set popup appearance and navigation

Adjust caption styles and overlay colors. Slideshows can start automatically. Mouse-wheel navigation can scroll to zoom or move between slides. The popup topbar can display slide counts and controls to zoom, rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise, flip, and enter fullscreen.

Toolbar actions can include Facebook and Twitter sharing, downloads, slideshow controls, thumbnails, and a close button.

Configure audio and video playback

Pro player controls include play and pause, restart, rewind, fast-forward, progress, duration, mute, volume, picture-in-picture, AirPlay, settings, download, and fullscreen. Audio can use one of four player designs. Media previews can also use hover effects such as zoom and rotation.

Install and set up

Install Lightbox Block Pro in WordPress and open the Gutenberg block editor. Add a Lightbox Block to a page, select the lightbox type, and add the relevant media or custom content. Configure the gallery layout, captions, overlay, navigation, player controls, and slideshow behavior, then publish the page. Use shortcode support when the lightbox needs to appear outside the block editor.
