## Lýsing

[WP Colorbox](https://noorsplugin.com/wordpress-colorbox-plugin/) plugin is a simple
lightbox tool for WordPress. It allows users to pop up content in lightbox using
the popular jQuery ColorBox library. They can also view the larger version of a 
particular media file without leaving the page.

#### Features

 * Beautiful lightbox popup style
 * Flexiblity of creating your own lightbox link
 * Pop up custom/HTML content in lightbox
 * Trigger lightbox from either a text/image link
 * Add lightbox to a YouTube or Vimeo video link
 * Enable lightbox functionality on your site which supports modern browsers
 * Use a simple shortcode to pop up a media file in lightbox
 * Apply lightbox effect on images inserted into WordPress post/page
 * Open external page in lightbox using iframe
 * Responsive lightbox popup which works on mobile devices. Also it fits perfectly
   on smaller screens.

#### How to Use WP Colorbox

**Pop up image in lightbox**

Create a new post/page and use the following shortcode to create a text/image link
which will trigger lightbox once clicked:

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/overlay.jpg" type="image" hyperlink="click here to pop up image"]
    ```

here, url is the link to the media file that you wish to open in lightbox and hyperlink
is the anchor text/image.

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/overlay.jpg" type="image" hyperlink="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/thumb.jpg"]
    ```

**Pop up YouTube video in lightbox**

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nmp3Ra3Yj24" type="youtube" hyperlink="click here to pop up youtube video"]
    ```

**Pop up Vimeo video in lightbox**

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1284237" type="vimeo" hyperlink="click here to pop up vimeo video"]
    ```

**Specify an Alternate Text for an Image**

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/overlay.jpg" title="overlay image" type="image" hyperlink="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/thumb.jpg" alt="Thumbnail image description"]
    ```

**Apply Custom CSS**

You can specify your own CSS class in the shortcode to customize a text/image link.

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nmp3Ra3Yj24" type="youtube" hyperlink="click here to pop up youtube video" class="custom_class"]
    ```

Multiple CSS classes can be separated with a space. For example:

    ```
    [wp_colorbox_media url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nmp3Ra3Yj24" type="youtube" hyperlink="click here to pop up youtube video" class="custom_class custom_class2"]
    ```

Many thanks to the plugin developers – you did a great job! I was able to start 
enjoying nice lightbox stuff on my website right after I saved my initial Fancybox
settings(and no matter what class was attributed to my img links!) I changes nothing
in my php/css, which is so cool. It just works. That’s fantastic!
