常见问题

How do I add a lightbox?

1. Copy and paste the complete URL for the image you want to make a lightbox for into the WordPress editor
2. Select the URL with your cursor
3. Click the “Lightbox” button in the TinyMCE toolbar
4. Enter the values you’re prompted for. The only one that’s required is a unique ID for the image

OR

1. Copy and paste the complete URL for the image you want to make a lightbox for into the WordPress editor
2. Add the opening shortcode, [css_lightbox …] before the beginning of the URL and add the options you want
3. Attributes you can use with the shortcode are:

* “id” (unique identifier for the image, required)
* “height” (in pixels, without including px)
* “width” (in pixels, without including px)
* “title” (a title for image, displayed when it’s enlarged)
* “caption” (a caption for the image, displayed when it’s enlarged)
* “alt” (alt text for the on-page image)
* “icon” (‘true’ or ‘false’ – whether or not to include a small magnifying glass icon in the top-left of the on-page image, to indicate that it can be enlarged)
1. An example using all of the available options: [css_lightbox id=”uniqueID” height=”400″ width=”400″ title=”A title” caption=”A caption” alt=”Some alt text” icon=”true”]Image URL[/css_lightbox]
