So<br \/>let&#8217;s get started.<br \/>Number 1 adding lightbox to images. Adding a lightbox is automatically set for all images in Elementor<br \/>so if you have an image, all<br \/>you have to do is make sure it links to<br \/>a media file. Now. when I click on it the<br \/>lightbox pops up.<br \/>Number 2 control all the global lightbox settings. This is done by going to the hamburger<br \/>icon, clicking on global settings and<br \/>under lightbox I can see the global<br \/>settings. From here I can turn off the<br \/>image lightbox, enable in editor and<br \/>change the background color. Number 3<br \/>switch off all lightbox. So this is done<br \/>simply by switching off this switch now<br \/>when I click on the image it doesn&#8217;t<br \/>open up the lightbox.<br \/>Number 4 add the lightbox for a single image.<br \/>So if you switch off image lightbox you can still open the lightbox for a single<br \/>image by going to the image and under<br \/>lightbox setting it to yes. Now when I<br \/>click on the image it will open up.<br \/>Number 5 change the lightbox background color<br \/>This is also done globally. I can<br \/>choose any color I wish and when I click<br \/>on the image the background color will<br \/>change to the color I chose.<br \/>Number 6 disable the lightbox preview in the editor. This is done by switching off<br \/>this setting what this does is prevent<br \/>the lightbox from opening up when I<br \/>click in the editor it will still open<br \/>up in the live site. Number 7 gallery and<br \/>carousel slider lightbox. This works<br \/>pretty similarly to image lightbox,<br \/>I click on the gallery and link to media<br \/>file. I&#8217;ll do the same for the carousel<br \/>slider. Now when I click on the gallery<br \/>it opens up<br \/>and I can browse through all the images<br \/>that I want. Number 8 video lightbox.<br \/>to switch video lightbox on I click on<br \/>the video and under image overlay<br \/>I switch on lightbox.<br \/>Now when I press the video the light box<br \/>pops up. This has been eight options you<br \/>can use for Elementor&#8217;s lightbox feature<br \/>I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this tutorial and<br \/>I invite you to subscribe to this<br \/>channel and get more videos and<br \/>tutorials until next time,<br \/>This is Ben from Elementor<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Transcript Overview No more lightbox plugins needed!
