Plugin option to open all linked images and galleries in WordPress in Lightbox mode. The big difference compared to many others plugins like this is that VenoBox calculates the max width of the image displayed and preserves its height if is taller than the window (so in small devices you can scroll down the content, avoiding vertical microscopic resized images). Option to disable Beaver Builder lightbox plugin. ### Usage Comprehensive usage is documented in the WP Admin > Dashboard > Settings > VenoBox Lightbox. There are manual markup instructions for videos and iframes and automated options for images. Ability to enable/disable VenoBox gallery for images on a per post/page/custom post type level.
