Hi, the light box effect can be done by Easy FancyBox in Inline Content mode. You’ll have to create a link and some hidden inline content. You can see an example on the FAQ’s page https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-fancybox/faq/ (search for “Inline”) … after that, you’ll have to add some CSS style rules to your theme’s stylesheet (or use Custom CSS by Jetpack) to style the link. There are plenty of tutorials on the web on how to make a simple link look like a button.
Thank you. I will give this a try as soon as I figure out how to create hidden inline content and let you know how it works.
I think the problem I’m running into is that I want all of these tabs on the side of my page to be on every page and the same content to pop up when they are clicked no matter what page they are on.
With the side tab code, I have to have code in the footer.php and the custom css in order for those to show up on every page.
I’m not sure how to get the hidden text to work with that. Do you think it’s possible? Or do I have to have a button on every page for this to work?
Both the button (link) and inline content need to be on the same page.
If you have your button in a widget (and there is no way to add the hidden inline content there as well) then you could add a text widget right below it and paste your hidden inline content there. The text widget will then be available on every page where that widget with the button shows.
