Lightbox for Gallery & Image Block vs Sticky Content – keep any section visible while visitors scroll

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?

Keep your most important content – headers, menus, banners, and call-to-action boxes – in view while visitors scroll, with a simple Gutenberg block. Sticky Content | Demos | Pricing Why Sticky Content? Content that scrolls out of sight stops working for you. Sticky Content turns any element on your site sticky with ease – any block, widget, or section can remain visible, or appear and disappear, as users scroll down the page. It’s perfect for sticky headers, sidebars, banners, call-to-action boxes, or any element you want to keep in view. The plugin works with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), and shortcodes let you add sticky elements anywhere on your site. The free version covers simple sticky effects, while the Pro version adds advanced triggers, transitions, and layout controls. Sticky Content is optimized for performance and compatible with all themes and builders, helping you design layouts that keep important elements visible for better user engagement. Free Features Universal Shortcodes & Block: Insert via the Gutenberg block (in the “Widgets” category) or a shortcode in posts, pages, and widgets. Sticky Mode: Elements become fixed once they hit the top of the page. Top Position Offset: Set a vertical offset in px for the fixed state. Background Control: Set a separate background for the sticky state. Padding Control: Adjust inner spacing for the sticky element. Pro Version Upgrade to Sticky Content Pro for the full suite of sticky capabilities: Sticky Modes: Always, After Scroll, While in View – choose exactly how the element behaves as the user scrolls. Custom Start & End Triggers: Trigger sticky behavior by ID, CSS selector, or pixel value. Horizontal & Vertical Positions: Set fixed offsets using % units for precise placement. Separate Backgrounds: Distinct styling for static vs sticky states. Border, Border Radius & Shadow: Style main and sticky states independently. Z-Index Control: Ensure the sticky element sits above (or below) other content. Stick Within Container: Confine sticky behavior to a specific section via a custom selector. Scroll Trigger (px): Define how many pixels of scroll before the stick effect begins. Transition Animations: Fade, slide, scale, zoom (or none) for smooth transitions. Duration, Delay & Easing: Fine-tune animation timing and curves for natural motion. Opacity & Transform Control: Fade, move, or scale the element during the sticky transition. How to Use Install and activate the plugin via Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard. In the Gutenberg editor, add the Sticky Content Block from the “Widgets” category – or use the shortcode in the classic editor, a widget, or a template. Add the content you want to stick, then configure sticky mode, trigger, offset, styling, and animation (Pro) in the block’s right-hand sidebar or shortcode attributes. Save or update your page. View the front end and scroll to test – the element enters sticky mode when it hits the top (or your defined start trigger) and exits at the end trigger if set. Use Cases Sticky Menus & Headers: Keep navigation available on long pages. Call-to-Action Boxes: Hold signup or buy buttons in view while visitors read. Sidebars: Pin widgets so they follow the reader down the page. Banners & Notices: Keep announcements visible as users scroll. Feedback Did you like this plugin? Dislike it?
