A slideshow allows you to create a beautiful showcase of images or videos for your visitors.
You can enhance your slideshow with a lightbox. Visitors can view your slideshow and then click on an image and see a larger, higher-resolution version of the image. Often the background is darkened so that the viewer’s eyes can focus on the image alone.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to enable lightboxes for your MetaSlider slideshows.
If you would like your slideshow to open up into a lightbox modal when the user clicks on it, you can use MetaSlider Lightbox, a separate plugin that extends MetaSlider.
