Lightbox for Gallery & Image Block vs Sticky Content – Make Any Section Sticky on 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?

Sticky Content helps you turn any element on your site into sticky with ease. You can make any block, widget, or section remain visible or appear and disappear as users scroll down the page. It is useful for creating sticky headers, sidebars, banners, call-to-action boxes, or any element you want to keep in view. Sticky Content | Demos | Pricing The plugin works with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). You can also use shortcodes to add sticky elements anywhere on your site. The free version lets you create simple sticky effects, while the Pro version includes advanced triggers, transitions, and layout controls. Sticky Content is optimized for performance and compatible with all themes and builders. It helps you design layouts that keep important elements visible while scrolling for better user engagement. Key Features – Free Version Universal Shortcodes & Block: Insert via Gutenberg block (in “Widgets” category) or shortcode in posts/pages/widgets. Sticky Mode: All elements become fixed once they hit the top of the page. Top Position Offset: Set vertical offset in px for the fixed state.

How to Use Sticky Content – Step-by-Step Guide Getting started with Sticky Content is quick and easy! 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 classic editor, widget or template. Select the element you want to stick, then in the block’s right-hand sidebar (or shortcode attributes) configure: sticky mode, trigger, offset, styling, animation (if Pro). Save or update your page/post. View the front-end and scroll to test: as the element hits the top (or your defined start trigger) it will enter sticky mode; if an end trigger is set, it will exit when reached.
