 * [@starhorsepax2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starhorsepax2/) – Sorry 
   for delay. The CSS you use would depend on the gallery markup, and on whether
   you are using an icon library for the icon. But for example, say you had this
   markup: 
   [](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edanzer/replies/large.jpg?output_format=md)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <a class="img-zoom" href="large.jpg">  <img src="thumb.jpg" alt=""></a>
       ```
   
 * One option without an icon library might look like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .img-zoom{  position: relative;  display: inline-block;}.img-zoom::after{  content:"";  position:absolute;  left:50%;  top:50%;  width:56px;  height:56px;  transform:translate(-50%,-50%);  pointer-events:none;  /* optional styling */  background:rgba(0,0,0,.45);  border-radius:999px;  /* magnifier icon (white) */  background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'%3E%3Cpath fill='white' d='M10 2a8 8 0 105.293 14.293l4.707 4.707 1.414-1.414-4.707-4.707A8 8 0 0010 2zm0 2a6 6 0 110 12 6 6 0 010-12z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");  background-repeat:no-repeat;  background-position:center;  background-size:28px 28px;}
       ```
   
 * Or if you use FontAwesome it might look like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .img-zoom{ position:relative; display:inline-block; }.img-zoom::after{  content:"\f002";                 /* magnifying glass */  font:900 24px/1 "Font Awesome 6 Free";  position:absolute; left:50%; top:50%;  transform:translate(-50%,-50%);  color:#fff;  background:rgba(0,0,0,.45);  width:56px; height:56px;  border-radius:999px;  display:grid; place-items:center;  pointer-events:none;}
       ```
   
 * Worth noting this CSS is all applied to the gallery itself, not to anything inside
   the lightbox.
 * For now, as is this is not our issue really, and we’ve got a tentative solution,
   I’m going to mark this complete, but feel free to reply again.

 * Hi [@fooey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fooey/) – yes, still supported.
   Though fair question given limited dev and slower support last year. It’s a side
   project and I had limited time much of last year. I explored having others do
   support/dev, but that didn’t work. In the mean time, it has been stable so I’ve
   just been letting it be.
 * I do have life changes coming up in the next couple weeks that should mean more
   time to work on the plugin.
 * Thanks for your question and interest.

 * I think you mean having something like a small icon that sits on the image to
   tell visitors ‘you can click this and open the image.’ For now, there’s nothing
   like that built into the free plugin. You’d need to add it custom, which you 
   could probably do with some CSS. The Pro plugin shows a zoom icon on the lightbox
   header (if enabled), but that’s also only once inside the lightbox.
 * For now, I’ll add this as a feature request.

 * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scrolling-pdf/#post-18523296)
 * Hi, this may depend on device and browser. If you’re on a Mac like I am and you
   go to these pages and and click the link to open a PDF, you’ll see it scrolls:
   
   [https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox/ ](https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox/)
   [https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox-legacy/](https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox-legacy/)
   [https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox-v2/](https://firelightwp.com/free-lightbox-v2/)
   [https://firelightwp.com/pro-wordpress-lightbox-plugin/](https://firelightwp.com/pro-wordpress-lightbox-plugin/)
   However, the scrolling will not work on many mobile devices. PDFs on mobile are
   tough as most mobile devices have their own PDF viewers. The plugin largely wraps
   third party Fancybox scripts, and it is known they don’t handle this well on 
   mobile (not just in this plugin, but in general).

 * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-galleries-on-1-page-no-grouping/#post-18523287)
 * Have you tried using the ‘Automattically group images’ setting? You’ll find it
   under Lightbox, under the Images section. If you set it to ‘Disable’, images 
   will not be grouped at all. If you set it to ‘All in one gallery’, it will treat
   all images on a page as one gallery. Would one of those achieve what you want?
   
   There’s also a ‘custom grouping’ option there, but to add/edit custom groups 
   is pro/paid feature.

 * Yes those look like options for this plugin. If you’re not using the plugin, 
   you can delete them. We’ll also review plugin uninstall routines to ensure the
   plugin is deleting options properly.

 * I’m not sure all of what may have changed on your site (site updates, plugin 
   updates, etc), but I think I can see the issue.
 * If I click on one of the images on your site url you shared, I get this error
   in the browser console:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Mixed Content: The page at 'https://ledcorp.co.za/products/led-blackseries-floodlight-series/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure frame 'http://ledcorp.co.za/LED-X1-Floodlight-10W.html'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS. (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2)
       ```
   
 * The second url, which is the link you’re trying to open in the lightbox, is an‘
   http’ link, not ‘https’. That’s causing a JavaScript error which is preventing
   the page content from loading inside the lightbox.
 * From the dev inspector tools, I updated that to https and it worked.
 * Can you try updating a couple of those urls to https and see if the issue is 
   resolved for you?

 * Hi [@pdux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdux/) – Just wanted to let you
   know the team has seen this. PDFs are tricky in general, especially on mobile
   where devices try to impose their own PDF viewers. And the Fancybox scripts used
   in the free version are getting older.
 * Without a major re-work of the Fancybox scripts themselves, it’s unlikely we’ll
   get them working smoothy on mobile. But they should be working on desktop. We’ll
   take a look and follow up here in a day or two.

 * [@one3rdnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/one3rdnerd/) – Unfortunately,
   there is not an option for this. You’re one of very few users to raise a concern
   about it over the years (though I can personally understand your sentiment – 
   the loading icons are provided by the Fancybox scripts, and the classic Fancybox
   scripts have been around a long time now). 
   In any case, as you guessed, the 
   way to do this is via CSS. Thanks for sharing!If the team were going to address
   this, I assume we’d add an option to choose a loading icon or turn it off. Right
   now, that’s not on our agenda, but if we get some more feedback/votes, we’d be
   happy to take a look at what’s involved.Since we’re not planning action right
   now, and since there’s a work around provided here, we’re going to mark this 
   resolved. But feel free to follow up with questions or concerns.

 * The code for Easy Fancybox and Firelight is the same – it’s just a brand change.
   So what worked before should work now. I’ll test against an older version of 
   our plugin. It’s also possible something changed on the Modula side.
