Photo Overlayhighlight Images With A Lightbox Preview

Today I’m going to show you how to create a Pure CSS Image Lightbox. We’re going to use the :target selector for our Lightbox popup. So all we need to do, is create a list of images, that are wrapped in anchor tags, that link to #img1, #img2 etc etc… and then we need to create an other list, with same images that are hidden by default.

Basically the first list is our gallery and when we click on an image, the same image from the other list will pop up over the page, but in a bigger size and in the middle of the screen. And if you click on the image again, or off the image it’ll disappear.

Creating the Image Lightbox

Mobirise sites are responsive, and blocks change their size, so it's impossible to keep the same size of images. We preserve aspect ratio, but images can look cropped. It is the way it should work. Use special Media blocks with images to show your images with the same aspect ratio. Image Gallery – The best responsive masonry light box gallery plugin. Image Gallery is one of the easiest plugins to use, even if you are new in WordPress. You can publish image gallery into any Page or Post in your website with unlimited images. The LED Lightbox by Emart measures 14″ x 16″. It comes with the portable photo studio box and a professional light box setup. Plus, it is equipped with 4 photo box backdrops in the color options: white, black, blue and gray.

The Image Gallery

For the gallery all we have to do, is list our images, using the < img > tag and wrap it around with an < a href=”#img1″ >

The Lightbox

The lightbox’s html is pretty much the same as the gallery. The important thing here, is that the image’s ID has to match with the link from the gallery. For example for the first image, the link is #img1 then the ID for this image in the lightbox needs to be img1

The CSS

And finally we apply the CSS. The Lightbox is hidden by default. The image from them only appear when the images are clicked in the gallery. You can also notice that the URL changes to #img1, #img2 etc when the images are clicked and the lightbox popped up.

And at this point you should be done, and your image lightbox should work.

Adding Next and Previous Button and Caption

To be able to add next, previous and close button, we need to restructure the html code for the lightbox. Like so:

As you can see, all we did is we added two anchor tags ( a tags ) after the #content dive and we also added a paragraph tag ( p tag ) with the class of .desc. The anchors are for next and previous buttons, both have the classes ( .next and .prev ). And to change the image description, simply change the text in the paragraph with class of “Desc”.

The image description will only show up if u hover over the image itself. By default it’s also hidden.

After you’ve updated the lightbox codes, don’t forget to add your images. Also, we need to add the code below the code above in your stylesheet.

I hope this helps 🙂 If you have an question, please feel free to leave a comment down below. Also if you know a better way of doing this, or just an other way, let us know in the comments down below. And please consider sharing this with your fellow designers!
