If you would like to use a lightbox plugin that isn't supported you can add support by hooking into the `metaslider_lightbox_supported_plugins` filter. If you need assistance, please open an issue.

and one of the following lightbox plugins:
If you would like to use a lightbox plugin, you can filter the supported plugin list with the necessary attributes. For example, using Responsive Lightbox Lite
add_filter('metaslider_lightbox_supported_plugins', 'supported_plugins_list');
function supported_plugins_list($supported_plugins_list) {
return array(
'Responsive Lightbox' => array(
'location' => 'responsive-lightbox-lite/responsive-lightbox-lite.php',
'settings_url' => 'options-general.php?page=responsive-lightbox-lite',
'rel' => 'lightbox',
'attributes' => array(
'data-lightbox-type' => 'iframe'
)
)
);
}
Note that you can use :url or :caption to retrieve these items from the slides, such as 'data-lightbox-url' => ':url'
The easy way:
1. Go to the Plugins Menu in WordPress
2. Search for "MetaSlider Lightbox"
3. Click "Install"
The not so easy way:
1. Upload the `ml-slider-lightbox` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Manage your slideshows using the 'MetaSlider' menu option
