Hi, I'm just wanting to see if it's possible to create a lightbox that automatically opens when the page loads instead of having to click on something. Essentially I want a promotional popup that is more customizable than Squarespace seems to allow which is why I was thinking to use a lightbox. Is that even possible? I have several different ideas for uses for this so it would be very handy. Thank you in advance if anyone has any ideas or suggestions. And if it's not possible, if anyone has any other ideas that would achieve something similar I'd be grateful to hear them. Thanks!

Hi,

It is possible.

Here are a few lightboxes outside Squarespace:

- https://sachinchoolur.github.io/lightgallery.js/

What would you like to display in the lightbox?

Thanks for the reply! So I would like to have a photo on one side and then text on the other and then 6 buttons under the text (donation buttons that link to an Actblue, so the 6 buttons are different amounts) So it would look really similar to a promotional popup except with more buttons than the current promotional popups allow. At a later point, I would also like to be able to do one with a video that plays automatically. And on a different page, I would like to have one with a contact form. From the research I've done it seems like the promotional popups cannot be edited with custom CSS, do you know if that's correct? Are the links you shared 3rd party plugins for lightboxes?

For tasks that take good hours I can be hired on Upwork

Squarespace already had a promotion popup, but it not what you are after?
