Disable Lightbox for Woocommerce Products

Hi there,

Try adding this function:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'tu_disable_wc_lightbox', 20 );
function tu_disable_wc_lightbox() {
    remove_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-lightbox' );
}

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Let me know ??

I added that with Code Snippets and I’m still getting the lightbox. Would it matter that my featured images are .svg format? In fact, the lightbox that pops up is just a black screen because the .svgs are not showing.

I don’t think that should make a difference, but it may be something to ask WooCommerce.

Can you try this function instead?:

add_action( 'wp', 'tu_disable_wc_lightbox', 20 );
function tu_disable_wc_lightbox() {
    remove_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-lightbox' );
}

This function does not open a lightbox, but it navigates to the native location of the image used: e.g. https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/logo.svg

That’s actually an improvement since the default behavior turns the screen black. But it’s not exactly what I would like which is for clicking on the featured image to do nothing. I’ll be happy to test anything else you like.

Cheers, Richard

Would it be better if the images didn’t link anywhere at all?

Exactly. That’s what I am aiming for. Sorry if I was not clear.

Thanks.

I wonder if something like this might work?: https://gist.github.com/rynaldos/0a54362495c35a1850e80234350d2d5a

Works perfectly. Thought I needed to attack this with theme specific input. Thanks, Richard

No problem ??

So, to piggyback on this, how would you link the image to an affiliate link or other link?

I’m not sure if it’s possible to change the link itself. Might be worth asking WooCommerce support.
