We’ve just released version 2.0 of the MetaSlider Lightbox plugin.
This is a completely new direction and upgrade for the plugin.
Previously, the plugin simply connected MetaSlider slideshows to other lightbox plugins.
Now, MetaSlider Lightbox offers a complete lightbox solution for WordPress. You don’t need any other plugins.
You can use MetaSlider Lightbox to show many kinds of media inside a modal window, including images, galleries, videos, YouTube videos, and Vimeo videos. And of course, it integrates with MetaSlider slideshows. This screenshot shows the lightbox together with a MetaSlider image slideshow.
As you can see, this first version of the plugin comes with a thumbnail navigation so your visitors can browser through all the options in your gallery or slideshow.
Here’s a screenshot of the new lightbox when added to a MetaSlider slideshow that uses YouTube videos:
