Dan,
Please let me know where I can get the Lightbox Plus Colorbox Plugin for WordPress. It does not seem to be available through WordPress. If it is not available anymore is there an alternate plugin that you recommend and would also work with the website tutorial that calls for it.
Thank you.
Jerry
Hi Jerry
You can download the current version here: Lightbox Plus for WordPress.
There were some issue with it that WordPress.org didn’t like so I’m updating it now and it should be available through WordPress again soon.
Hello,
I’m trying to add data-lightbox but it doesn’t work
I tried different ways:
I don’t know if maybe I’m trying to add in a wrong way
In my setting pluggins I have the option output html activated.
Thanks,
Gemma
Sorry, I didn’t wrong well the code

Hi Gemma-
You should not have to do anything if it’s set to automatically add the lightbox. If not when you add data-lightbox the link should look like this.
<a href="link/to/image.jpg" data-lightbox="image-group" title="image title" rel="nofollow"><img src="link/to/thumbnail.jpg" alt="alt-text"></a>
