LMDM Lightbox Image Caption

外掛說明

WordPress ships with a native Lightbox-Effect for image blocks. This plugin adds one tiny additional option to the core image and gallery blocks: Show Caption.

When the toggle is enabled, the native lightbox receives the current image alt text as a data-img-alt attribute on the enlarged lightbox figure. A small frontend CSS then displays that value as a caption overlay inside the lightbox image.

Please note: The caption text is taken from the image alt attribute.

The toggle is only available when the native Lightbox-Effect is active. If the lightbox is disabled or the image is linked somewhere else, the caption option is disabled as well.

常見問題集

Does it create a new block?

No, it only extends the existing core Image and Gallery blocks.

Does it use the normal image caption field?

No. It uses the image alt attribute and writes it to data-img-alt in the native lightbox overlay.

Why is the toggle disabled?

The toggle is only active when the native WordPress Lightbox-Effect is enabled. If the image links to a media file, attachment page or custom URL, the native lightbox is not active and the option is disabled.

Does it work with galleries?

Yes. Enable the native Lightbox-Effect for the gallery first and then enable Show caption. The setting is passed to the gallery images when the block is rendered.

Does it load any additional assets in the frontend?

Yes, it loads one small CSS file that displays the data-img-alt value as a pseudo element in the native lightbox overlay.

What happens when i disable the plugin?

The additional toggle and frontend caption output disappear. Existing Image and Gallery blocks continue to work as normal core blocks.

Who is the author of the plugin?

The WordPress-User “nicmare” vibe coded it. Means he had the idea of the plugin and uses AI to craft the code.
