JackBox – A Responsive Lightbox with Real Social Sharing

JackBox for WordPress is built on a simple idea:

Connect your pre-existing page and post content to a lightbox.
This means no shortcodes and no gallery managers to figure out. Instead, JackBox is baked into your content editor and works just like the traditional “hyperlink” button. Except instead of just adding a simple link, you create a lightbox item!

JackBox was originally built with 2 goals in mind:

Create a lightbox that worked on mobile devices, even smartphones. JackBox is “responsive”, which means it’s 100% compatible with responsive websites.
Create a lightbox where every image, video and song can be individually shared. This means when someone “likes” one of your photos, when a friend clicks on the shared link, they’ll instantly be shown the exact photo that was originally shared.

Simple. Powerful. JackBox WP. Watch the Videos.

Smart Script Loading

The JackBox stylesheets and scripts will only load into your web page if the page contains a lightbox item. This means that on the pages where no lightbox items are used, no unecessary plugin files are loaded. When JackBox CSS and JavaScript files are loaded, they load asynchronously, helping your web pages to load faster.

JackBox Makes Thumbnails Easy

First, you have the choice to load a specific thumbnail of your choice.
If none are chosen, and the lightbox item is a clickable thumbnail to begin with, JackBox will grab and resize that thumbnail instead.
If these options aren’t available, JackBox will then attempt to grab the large version of the lightbox image and resize it.
And as a last resort, JackBox will just use a default thumbnail of your choosing.
