Easy Justified Gallery – Photo Gallery Block with Lightbox
Easy Justified Gallery is a responsive photo gallery that lays your images out in tidy, full width rows without cropping them, the way photo sites do it. It does that one thing and nothing else. No upsells, no ads, no dashboard banners, no tracking. Fast by design The whole front end is 7.5 KB of JavaScript and CSS, and none of it is jQuery. Rows are worked out from the image dimensions WordPress already stores, so the layout is correct before a single image has downloaded and nothing jumps around as they arrive. Images load lazily, at the size they are actually displayed, using the srcset WordPress generates. Assets load only on pages that really contain a gallery. A page without one downloads nothing at all, and a gallery that opens images in a new tab never downloads the lightbox. Features A gallery block for the block editor, with a live preview of the real thing As many galleries as you like, each with its own images and settings Reuse one gallery on any number of pages. Edit it once, every page updates Rows justified from image aspect ratios, never cropped, never distorted Captions off, on hover, or always visible, taken from the media library caption and falling back to alt text A modern lightbox with pinch zoom, swipe, and keyboard navigation Per gallery row height and spacing, overridable per placement No jQuery, no frameworks, no build artefacts you did not ask for Works with the block editor, the classic editor, widgets, and do_shortcode() Blocks or shortcodes, your choice Add the “Justified Gallery” block and pick a saved gallery, or choose images right inside the block. Prefer shortcodes? [easyGallery id="123"] renders a specific gallery and plain [easyGallery] still works exactly as it did in 1.x.

Lightbox for Gallery & Image Block
This WordPress Plugin adds a simple & lightweight Lightbox to the standard WordPress Gallery & Image Block. It detects if a post contains a Gallery or Image Block and then loads & initialize baguetteBox.js, a pure JavaScript Lightbox script without any dependencies and a modern minimal look. There is no lock in effect. It does not add a new Block Editor/Gutenberg Block and relies solo on the standard WordPress Gallery and Image Block. You can deactivate this plugin at any time and your Gallery and Image Blocks will work as they’ve done before. Just without the lightbox. Just one important thing to remember: You always have to select Link → Link to image file or Link images to media file (see screenshots below) for all of your Image & Gallery Blocks to work properly. If you choose None or Link to attachment page it will not work. But that’s fine if you don’t want the Lightbox for a specific Image or Gallery. Take a look at the YouTube video from Jakson where he reviews this plugin: Features Here are the features of baguetteBox.js: Written in pure JavaScript No dependencies (e.g. jQuery) Image captions support Responsive Supports swipe gestures Around 13 KB, 7 KB gzipped Works with Gallery Block (Default Block) Image Block (Default Block) Media and Text Block (Default Block) Gallery (Default Classic Editor Gallery) CoBlocks Gallery Collage / Masonry / Offset / Stacked Meow Gallery (+ Gallery Block) Don’t forget to select Link to → Media File for all of your Galleries & Images to work properly. Notice: At the moment, just Blocks inside a post are supported. Not Blocks in a Widget. You can make it work but have to enqueue the necessary style & script yourself. See FAQ –> How to enqueue the necessary assets (script & style) for blocks outside of posts or for block types that are not supported by default?
