Responsive lightboxes for WordPress content
Responsive Lightbox Pro adds lightbox functionality to images, HTML content, media, and other elements on WordPress webpages. It is designed for websites that need visitors to view visual or embedded content in an overlay without leaving the current page.
The Pro edition supports images, image galleries, AJAX content, iFrames, Flash, YouTube and Vimeo videos, other websites, inline content, and HTML. You can apply lightbox behavior automatically to images, galleries, and videos, or add it manually to selected links when more control is needed.
Flexible presentation options
The lightbox is responsive and HiDPI compatible, with touch support for mobile visitors. It is designed to work with both the classic and Gutenberg editors and is compatible with any WordPress theme. The plugin also supports common browsers including Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari.
Seven built-in CSS-powered effects provide different ways to present opened content, including Fade, Slide, and Fall. Image captions can be shown automatically, helping visitors understand the content they are viewing. Two built-in themes provide ready-made presentation styles, while the simple templating system allows you to add a custom theme.
Settings and styling control
A standard administration interface provides more than 15 options for configuring the lightbox. You can customize the appearance through settings and CSS, override styles through custom options without editing CSS files, and change default colors with color pickers.
- Automatically add lightboxes to images, galleries, and videos.
- Show image captions automatically.

Automatic or manual implementation
Automatic behavior is suitable when you want lightboxes applied broadly across your site. If you prefer to target individual links, disable the automatic add option under Settings > Responsive Lightbox, then add the appropriate rel and data-type attributes to your links.
Single images and galleries use lightbox relationship values, while iFrames, external links, YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps can use the iframe lightbox type. AJAX content can use the AJAX type, and inline content can use the inline type.
Installation and setup
Add Responsive Lightbox Pro to your WordPress installation, then open its settings area to choose automatic behavior, appearance, effects, themes, colors, and other available options. For a targeted setup, turn off automatic addition and configure the relevant link attributes manually.
Responsive Lightbox Pro is translation ready, supports multisite installations, and includes integrated automatic updates. Its responsive, mobile-friendly presentation makes it suitable for portfolios, galleries, media pages, embedded content, and websites that need a consistent lightbox experience across different content types.
