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 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 preview of the new lightbox when added to a MetaSlider slideshow. Click the “Open in Lightbox” option to expand the slides.
What’s next for MetaSlider Lightbox?
In addition to a variety of improvements for the free version of MetaSlider Lightbox, we’re also close to releasing a Pro version with several extra features:
- Zoom
- Rotate Images
- Autoplay
- Fullscreen Mode
- Unique URLs for each image in the lightbox
- Sharing options for images
- Improving support for Custom HTML and Layer Slides
