Lightbox Images for Divi Enhanced vs PhotoPress – Gallery

The main purpose of the ‘Lightbox Images for Divi’ plugin is to extend Divi’s native lightbox functionality to all auto-linked images, not just Divi galleries. Requirements: This plugin requires ONE of the following to be installed and active: * Divi Theme (version 4.10 or higher) * Divi Builder Plugin (version 4.10 or higher) The plugin will automatically check for these requirements during activation and will not activate if they are not met. Main features: Full Divi 5 Support: Works with Divi 5 pages, including backwards compatibility mode. No jQuery required — the plugin works in vanilla JavaScript with an elegant built-in lightbox when Magnific Popup is not available Attachment Page Links: Now handles images linked to WordPress attachment pages (not just direct image URLs), resolving the full-size image automatically Dependency Checking: Automatically verifies Divi theme or Divi Builder plugin is active before allowing activation Extended Compatibility: Works with the Divi or Divi Builder theme, compatible with Divi 4.10+ and Divi 5 Native Integration: Uses Divi’s Magnific Popup when available, falls back to a lightweight built-in lightbox otherwise Easy to Use: Simply install and activate the plugin. No additional configuration is required Optimized Performance: Vanilla JavaScript with no hard dependencies. CSS and JS loaded conditionally Ready for the Future: Works in both Divi 4 (jQuery/Magnific Popup) and Divi 5 (vanilla JS fallback) environments Extensible: Includes a filter (ayudawp_lightbox_selectors) that allows developers to customize CSS selectors to include or exclude specific elements This plugin enhances the user experience on websites built with Divi, ensuring that any image linked to itself (i.e., clicking on it opens the image in its full size) is displayed in a lightbox effect. Unlike Divi’s default functionality, which often restricts this effect to galleries, this plugin extends it to all individual images, providing a consistent and engaging visual experience. The plugin is ideal for photographers, bloggers, and any Divi user who wants to offer a more polished and professional image viewing experience without the need for complex configurations or additional gallery plugins.

This plugin adds a variety of additional features to the core gallery shortcode that expand the options for specifying which images should be included in the gallery including the ability to create dynamic galleries of images that match a specific taxonomy “term”. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the PhotoPress – Image Taxonomies plugin which allows you to easily associate a wide variety of custom meta data with images. Also, the plugin can be used to create gallery containing with the featured images of any Pages/Posts (even custom post types) that you specify. This is particularly useful when creating a “Gallery of Galleries” or any grouping of Posts that you want to be styled like your other galleries. Features Include: Adds “taxonomy” and “term” gallery shortcode parameters. Adds “caption_source” parameter so that you can choose the source of text for your caption. Possible values are: “excerpt” (default), “title” (which pulls from the title), “none” (if you want no caption text). Adds “post_type” parameter for use in creating galleries of post types other than “image attachments”. This parameter accepts any valid post type (e.g. “post”, “page”, etc.) including custom post types. If you use a post type other than ‘attachment’ then the featured image of the post will be used as the image icon in the gallery. This parameter can be combined with the “taxonomy” and “term” parameters as well. Adds six backwards compatible filters to the core gallery shortcode allowing plugin developers to control almost every aspect of the gallery HTML and CSS on a per gallery basis.
