What It Does

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.

This plugin requires ONE of the following to be installed and active: Divi Theme (version 4.10 or higher) or 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 include full Divi 5 support, handling of images linked to WordPress attachment pages, and dependency checking to ensure the required theme or plugin is active. It also integrates natively with Divi's Magnific Popup and provides a lightweight built-in lightbox when necessary.

This plugin enhances the user experience on websites built with Divi, ensuring that any image linked to itself opens in a lightbox effect. It is ideal for photographers, bloggers, and any Divi user wanting a polished image viewing experience without complex configurations.

FAQ

The plugin will not activate and will show an error message explaining that either Divi theme or Divi Builder plugin is required.

For advanced users and developers, the plugin provides an ayudawp_lightbox_selectors filter. You can use this filter in your child theme’s functions.php file to add or modify the CSS selectors that the plugin uses to identify images. For example:

php add_filter( 'ayudawp_lightbox_selectors', 'my_custom_lightbox_selectors' ); function my_custom_lightbox_selectors( $selectors ) {     $selectors[] = '.my-custom-module a'; // Add selector for custom module     return $selectors; }
