Essential Grid Lightbox

[DesignMunky]

Hi there,

I have built a website for a client that uses Essential Grid to show things like gallery images in lightbox.

The client would like some lightbox sequences that show by clicking a button rather than by showing all the images first in a grid as thumbnails.

Is there a way to do this in Essential Grid?

Thanks,
Darren

Hello Darren,

You can make use of the of the [lightbox] shortcode that comes with X:

Then to use a button to trigger the lightbox, please check this related thread:

Launch Lightbox with V2 Buttons

Hi is there a way to launch the lightbox using V2 Buttons?

Hope this helps.

Hi Jade,

I’ve had a look at the two pages thanks and have a few questions:

Will I be able to show multiple lightbox images by using a single button?

How is the order of these lightbox images determined?

Thanks

Hi @DesignMunky,

Unfortunately, Essential Grid does not have the feature you’re looking for, the Envira Gallery does. Envira Gallery has a special shortcode to open a gallery with a link.

You need to manually style the gallery link text though to make it look like a button. You can use this selector

.envira-gallery-links {

}

Cheers!
