Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Works even better than the image module from Divi!Why? Because I have a thumbnail embedded on the page, and the full-size image will only be displayed after zooming in. Unfortunately, the image module from Divi immediately displays a large image to be able to enlarge it. This sucks…The option provided by this plugin was missing in Divi from the very beginning. Thanks for the great job!

Recent releases and news for this plugin

  1. Version 2.2.5 Fixed: Linked images (e.g. button-style images linking to other pages) were being hijacked by the lightbox since 2.2.0, overriding the original href Improved: Attachment-page detection now requires the link to be same-or 2.2.5
  2. Version 2.2.4 Fixed 404 error in browser console on Divi 5 for magnific-popup.js and magnific_popup.css The plugin now verifies the bundled Magnific Popup files actually exist on disk before enqueuing them, and cleanly falls back to t 2.2.4
  3. Version 2.2.3 Fixed lightbox not working on images in the WordPress classic/block editor post content field when rendered by Divi’s Post Content module The Post Content module container ( .et_pb_post_content ) is now correctly recogni 2.2.3
  4. Version 2.2.6 Improved: Tested and verified compatible with WordPress 7.1 Fix: Divi Builder detection now checks the ET_BUILDER_VERSION constant before the admin-only is_plugin_active() function, so the front end no longer depends on 2.2.6
