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?
Pattern CSS – The CSS Editor For Blocks
The missing inline block CSS editor for the Gutenberg editor. Very powerful with synced patterns as well. And it pairs well with global styles. This plugin is perfect for users looking to add CSS for blocks without needing to create a child theme, or use a bloated plugin. Client safe too. CSS won’t leak outside of the block, and only valid block CSS is persisted. Star it on GitHub Follow me on Twitter @kevinbatdorf How to Every block will have a new “Pattern CSS” settings panel Open it and add any CSS. It will be scoped to the block To target the block directly, you must use the [block] selector To target any element inside the block, use the normal CSS selector Use !important to override your theme styles (use sparingly) Global Editor Access global styles under the options menu (three dots) in the top right corner of the editor Additionaly, you can open from the Pattern CSS block editor controls Features Powered by WebAssembly for fast and secure CSS parsing Smart loading. Only loads the CSS when the block is present Styles persist when changing themes Scopes styles to the block so that parent/sibling blocks are not affected It’s fast CSS is minified and optimized It’s safe. Invalid, non-spec CSS is never persisted Supports reusable (synced or not-synced) patterns See changes on the page as you make them Combines adjacent rules (to decrease size) Minifies colors and math functions to simplify according to spec Supports CSS nesting Basic Example /* Target the block directly */ [block] { background: antiquewhite; padding: 2rem; } /* Target any inner elements */ a { text-decoration-color: burlywood; text-decoration-thickness: 2px; text-decoration-style: solid !important; } a:hover { text-decoration-color: darkgoldenrod; } /* Output: */ .pcss-a1b7b016{background:#faebd7;padding:2rem}.pcss-a1b7b016 a{text-decoration-color:#deb887;text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-style:solid!important}.pcss-a1b7b016 a:hover{text-decoration-color:#b8860b} Supports Media Queries @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { [block] { border-color: blue; } } /* Output: */ @media (prefers-color-scheme:dark){.pcss-cddaa023{border-color:#00f}} Combines Rules [block] { color: red; } .bar { color: red; } /* Output: */ .pcss-3aa0f0fc,.pcss-3aa0f0fc .bar{color:red} Fixes redundant properties [block] { padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 50px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 5px; } /* Output: */ .pcss-3aa0f0fc{padding:5px 5px 15px 50px} Supports CSS nesting [block] { padding: 1rem; a { color: red; } background: white; /* Including media queries */ @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { background: black; color:white; } } /* Output: */ .pcss-f526bb2d{background:#fff;padding:1rem;& a{color:red}@media (prefers-color-scheme:dark){&{color:#fff;background:#000}}} Check browser support for CSS nesting
