How to Open Slideshows in a Lightbox Modal

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.

A slideshow allows you to create a beautiful showcase of images 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 or other media.

  • Once you have created a slideshow in MetaSlider, look in the right sidebar. You are looking for the “Advanced Settings” area.
  • Scroll down and check the “Open in lightbox?” setting.
