VenoBox Lightbox

Description

This plugin adds the VenoBox Responsive Lightbox to links, displaying YouTube and Vimeo videos, images, galleries, iframe, Google Maps or other inline content in a responsive lightbox display.

Plugin option to open all linked images and galleries in WordPress in Lightbox mode.

The big difference compared to many others plugins like this is that VenoBox calculates the max width of the image displayed and preserves its height if is taller than the window (so in small devices you can scroll down the content, avoiding vertical microscopic resized images).

Option to disable Beaver Builder lightbox plugin.

Usage

Comprehensive usage is documented in the WP Admin > Dashboard > Settings > VenoBox Lightbox.

There are manual markup instructions for videos and iframes and automated options for images.

Ability to enable/disable VenoBox gallery for images on a per post/page/custom post type level.

Demo containing images and videos: https://themes.wpbeaches.com/venobox/

not working for videos

atomizer December 15, 2017

gave you 5 stars because of the goof who gave you only 1 when he shouldn’t have …else i’d have given it 4 ?? please consider adding another meta option for displaying both an image title and caption – be nice to have the title at top and caption at bottom thx!
