Lightbox a Gallery slideshow block

Recommended Posts

I need some code that will turn a Gallery slideshow block into a (slideshow) lightbox when clicked. This is for a course collection page (so it's behind a paywall and I cannot share the URL.)

I purchased the Lightbox Anything plugin but it does not solve my problem. If anyone could help with this (opening a gallery slideshow block in a lightbox), it would be hugely appreciated! 

If this isn't possible, another workaround option that I'm currently using is an image block that links to a File that opens a PDF... But I want to be able to add a caption (or caption on hover) that tells people to click in to the image to open the file. How could I do this, and is there any way to use CSS to apply the same affect to all images within this course collection? (So I do not have to update the code for every class page I create, which will have different images and files but all need the same functionality of a caption on hover...)

Have you tried this option in Lightbox Plugin yet?

or you mean click on whole Gallery Slideshow > Open a Lightbox and you can design content in this lightbox? If yes, we can achieve it with Lightbox Plugin + some JS code
