If you want your MetaSlider slideshow to open up into a gallery window when the user clicks on it, you can use MetaSlider Gallery, a separate plugin that extends the MetaSlider Slideshow.
A slideshow allows you to create a beautiful showcase of images for your visitors. You can enhance your slideshow with a gallery feature. Visitors can view your slideshow and then click on an image and see a larger, higher-resolution version of the image or other media.
MetaSlider Gallery currently supports every kind of slideshow created with MetaSlider except Layer Slides and Custom HTML.
- Start with the main MetaSlider Slideshow plugin installed.
- Install the MetaSlider Lightbox plugin.
- Once you have created a slideshow in MetaSlider, look in the right sidebar for the Gallery settings.
- Scroll down and check the “Open in gallery” setting.
Now go and visit your slideshow on the front of your site. This image below shows a normal slideshow.
Click on any of the images in your slideshow, and you’ll see a full pop-up window. You can navigate through the images. Notice that there is thumbnail navigation to allow users to browse the media. There is also a count in the top-left corner showing how many items are in the gallery.
