I can't see Lightbox plugin even though it's installed

[sophiepaynter]

Hi there, I'm creating a website for an artist which is hosted on Dreamhost. I intend to use the Lightbox plugin as it will feature many images under different categories. The problem is I can't see the plugin to be able to use it. I've installed it and I can view Lay Options > Lightbox Addon, but it's not showing up anywhere when I want to use it (i.e. it's not appearing under the 'More' dropdown menu in the Gridder, where I believe it should be). Many thanks for your help! Sophie

Hi @sophiepaynter,

as soon as you activate the lightbox addon it’s active per default. You are able to globally configure it via its settings in Lay Options / Lightbox Addon:

It is not in the more dropdown of the gridder. Depening on how you configured it (see above) you just get a checkbox to activate / deactivate it for a whole project, page or category or it is just active or inactive depending on your settings.

If you you don’t want certain images to be lightboxed there is a short explanation on how to exclude images in the page of the addon:

I hope that helps!
