jQuery Colorbox

Adds Colorbox/Lightbox functionality to images, grouped by post or page. Works for WordPress and NextGEN galleries. Comes with different themes.

Download Version 4.2

Yet another Colorbox/Lightbox plugin for WordPress. jQuery Colorbox features 11 themes from which you can choose. See my website. Works out-of-the-box with WordPress Galleries and NextGEN Gallery! (choose no effect in NextGEN settings)

When adding an image to a post or page, usually a thumbnail is inserted and linked to the image in original size. All images in posts and pages can be displayed in a colorbox when the thumbnail is clicked. Images are grouped as galleries when linked in the same post or page. Groups can be displayed in a slideshow.

Individual images can be excluded by adding a special CSS class.

jQuery Colorbox can also open linked content (external as well as inline) in a Colorbox.

Go to the plugin page for demo pages.
