Title: Lightbox functionality in Elementor Page Builder? Last modified: March 2, 2017 --- # Lightbox functionality in Elementor Page Builder? * Resolved [reca26](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reca26/) * (@reca26) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/) * Hi- I just came accross the Elementor editor and try to do my first steps. Was able to insert an image, but wasn’t able to find a lightbox functionality (image opens in a larger view after clicking on it). Didn’t found the keyword lightbox in the knowledge base,and would be thankful if someone might be able to help with this issue. * Kind regards & Thanks reca Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [Walid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walidmahade/) * (@walidmahade) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/#post-8341882) * Lightbox functionality for a single image is not available. * Lightbox is built in with image gallery. * So if you want light box functionality on a single image – then insert that image in “image gallery” widget. Then in settings , set the columns option to 1 , and image size option to full. * Thats it. You have lightbox to view your image. * Thread Starter [reca26](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reca26/) * (@reca26) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/#post-8342073) * Hello walidmahade – thanks for your reply.

From what I have seen while using it for a while now, there is no lightbox functionality in any of the image display widgets; image, image box, image gallery. That is why I am curious as to how you got it to work for your and also how [@reca26](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reca26/) got it to work 🙂 * Thread Starter [reca26](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reca26/) * (@reca26) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/#post-8343417) * Hello Learn WP Basics – I: – choosed the gallery – inserted image – choosed 1 row – choosed the large image size – and choosed the first point in the dropdown menu (“Datei” in the german version) – finally i saved the changes * Back in the frontend: – I refreshed the page – after a click on the image a full-size (nearly full screen) version of the image was displayed * Hope this helps. I’m new to Elementor. I use to work with “Tailor”. Tried to add a screen shot, but it isn’t possible to upload an image. They require an URL from a service or so.

Check the our work section. [http://staging2.marconmarketinggroup.com/](http://staging2.marconmarketinggroup.com/) this is the available lightbox functionality in elementor. * Also be sure to use the latest version of elementor.

I have found a bug though. When I have an image carousel widget AND an image gallery widget in the same page, when an image is clicked, ALL images are grouped together instead of only those in the widget. I do have the group widget images checked in the settings of simple lightbox * [http://prntscr.com/czcpyr](http://prntscr.com/czcpyr) * Here I have a page with both widgets in the same page * [http://prntscr.com/czctgd](http://prntscr.com/czctgd) * When one of the images is clicked, they are all grouped in and some pics get duplicated somehow * [http://prntscr.com/czcuw2](http://prntscr.com/czcuw2) * I was going to post this issue in another thread but I thought it would be better to consolidate into one. I would mark this as unresolved. * Cheers! * [parcoursdecineastes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parcoursdecineastes/) * (@parcoursdecineastes) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/#post-8638206) * hey, so there is nothing for close the “lightbox” ? execept to go to the previous page seriously ?;;; * is an other lightbox plug in working well with elementor ? * thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘Lightbox functionality in Elementor Page Builder?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/elementor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3444228) * [Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/) * 16 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [hvdtn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hvdtn/) * Last activity: [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightbox-functionality-in-elementor-page-builder/page/2/#post-8864972) * Status: resolved
