hi,
I’m using Vantage Pro, and using Page Builder to create layouts. I’m fairly new to all this. I have some images that have writing on them that you can’t read unless they’re quite large, and I don’t want to show them full size unless the viewer chooses to look at them.
Do you know of any lightbox plugins that work well with Vantage but do not require it to be a gallery page? That is, I am creating a “regular” full width page that has many other elements and widgets, and some of the widgets are SiteOrigin images. I can’t seem to get any of the plugins I’ve tried to work with the SiteOrigin images. I’m currently testing out Responsive Lightbox by dFactory but with no success.
Alternatively, I’d like to be able to expand and collapse these images, but I’ve tried several expand/collapse plugins and can’t seem to get that to work within Page Builder either.
The only other alternative I can think of is to create an entirely new page, so when the user clicks on one of these images, it opens a whole new page…but that seems like the “old fashioned” way and that a lightbox would be a more elegant solution.
Actually – I’m using a Vantage child theme that Andrew created for me (thanks!), and this site still is not live.
thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
hi,
I think I’ve got this working now, using the Visual Editor widget. Still not perfect but I have both a lightbox and a show/hide plugin working. If you want you can close this thread, however I’m still interested in hearing if you have recommendations on plugins that you may have used that you’re happy with.
thanks!
Hi maple
Thanks for the long wait and for keeping us updated.
I really enjoy Jetpack Carousel. As you guessed it requires a gallery BUT you can insert a single image gallery so that’s usually my workaround.

Let me know if anything else comes up :)
