About Surbma | Divi Lightbox
From the official readme · v3.1Description
The plugin supports all image formats (jpeg, jpg, gif, png, webp) and HTML structure (img, picture).
Do you use Divi? Do you wish you could use the same lightbox for images that are NOT inserted using the Divi (or Visual) Builder?
Then you’ve come to the right plugin. Simply enable this plugin and any time you link to an image in a page or post using the default WordPress post editor, the link will now open in the Divi lightbox!
No need to load an entirely separate or shadowbox plugin, just use the one your Divi-enabled site is already loading for Divi Builder-controlled content.
You have to buy the Divi Theme to use this plugin:
- Divi by Elegant Themes (affiliate link)
My plugins for Divi theme:
- Surbma | Divi & Gravity Forms
- Surbma | Divi Extras
- Surbma | Divi Lightbox
- Surbma | Divi Project Shortcodes
- Surbma | Divi Remove Project CPT
