Does WordPress have a built in lightbox?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:40 am

As WordPress continues to grow in popularity, it’s no surprise that developers are creating plugins and themes to add features and functionality that WordPress doesn’t come standard with out of the box. One such feature is a lightbox, which allows users to upload photos and videos and have them displayed within a designated area on a website.

PRO TIP: No, WordPress does not have a built-in lightbox. If you are looking for a lightbox solution, you will need to install a plugin or use a custom solution.

While WordPress does have a built in lightbox, it’s not as robust as some of the other options available. Additionally, some developers have created plugins and themes that add additional features and functionality to the lightbox, giving users even more options for displaying photos and videos.

Ultimately, whether WordPress has a built in lightbox or not is a matter of personal preference. However, if you’re looking for a feature that’s not available out of the box, then plugins and themes that add functionality to the lightbox may be a good option for you.
