The Theme Blvd Framework incorporates a simple, responsive lightbox plugin called Magnific Popup.
Lightbox Options
From your Theme Options, you’ll find a universal set of options that apply to the use of lightboxes within your site. Appearance > Theme Options > Content > Lightbox
Featured Images
Lightbox integration extends to linking the featured images of your standard posts.
Gallery Integration
When inserting a standard WordPress [gallery], linking thumbnails to the Media Files, will allow your theme to automatically link them all to lightbox popups.
The following shortcode usage will result in images opening up in a lightbox gallery:
[gallery ids="1,2,3,4,5" link="file"]
Auto Lightbox
If you’ve installed our Shortcodes plugin, you will have the Auto Lightbox feature enabled by default. The Auto Lightbox feature will automatically convert images inserted into pages and posts into the [lightbox] shortcode when they link to a lightbox-compatible URL. Note that you can disable this functionality from Settings > Writing > Theme Blvd Shortcodes in your WordPress admin.
Manually linking to a lightbox
If you’re comfortable with basic HTML, you can also link to a lightbox quite easily. Below are some examples.

prettyPhoto Integration
Prior to Theme Blvd Framework v2.3, the default lightbox plugin used was prettyPhoto. If you’d like to integrate prettyPhoto in to replace Magnific Popup, we’ve got a plugin for that: Theme Blvd prettyPhoto
