FAQ-e
-
How do I add a lightbox to the gallery?
-
Since version 2.2.1 the plugin includes a copy of SimpleLightbox. A lightweight responsive lightbox, which you can activate from the RGG Gallery page in your wordpress dashboard.
If you don’t like the lightbox, or you think it’s too lightweight, you can keep it disabled and install a third party lightbox plugin. Most lightboxes that work with the native WP gallery will work. -
The images to the left and right of the grid are cut of when I mouse over them. How do I solve this?
-
This will happen if one of the grid containers have the CSS property
overflow:hidden
. If possible, you will
need to change this tooverflow:visible
. If not, you can
wrap the gallery inside a div, and assign some margins to it. If that’s no option either, you should just disable scaling, or use negative scaling
by setting thescale
property to a value between 0.5 and 1 in the schortcode. -
How can I further configure and modify the gallery to my needs?

- Add the image alt text as aria-label (can’t use alt attribute because the images are CSS background-images)
2.3.2 (Apr 11, 2020)
- Tested with WP 5.4 (no other changes)
2.3.1 (Apr 19, 2019)
- Fixed small bug after resizing window + some code re-organization.
2.3 (Apr 19, 2019)
- Added alternative to lightbox: Show image above gallery. This will create a synchronized slider above the gallery. On clicking an image in the gallery, the corresponding image becomes the active slide.
2.2.2 (Apr 16, 2019)
- added additional lightbox: simplelightbox (https://simplelightbox.com/). I recommend using simplelightbox as swipebox seems to be no longer maintained by its developer.
2.2.1 (Jun 7, 2018)
- Fixed bug that was breaking gallery after update 2.2
2.2 (Jun 6, 2018)
- Added Swipebox as a built-in lighthbox. Plugin still works fine with Responsve Lightbox. But Responsve Lightbox is getting a bit heavy and recently added it’s own gallery solution, which looks confusing if you want to use it together with RGG. So I decided to include a lightweight lightbox.
