How to Use Lightbox as an Admin in WordPress
The Lightbox Plus plugin provides lightbox effects for all of your WordPress images. When a visitor clicks an image on your blog, the full-sized image will automatically open in a floating layer without opening a new tab or moving the visitor away from the existing page. You can use this effect with any image by ensuring that the image contains a link to the image URL address. The plugin automatically works on all existing linked images in your previous posts as well.
