Installation

Please follow our instructions on how to install and activate addons.

In this instance, you’ll be activating the Envira Fullscreen Addon.

Setup

Step 1 – Create or Edit Gallery

First, you’ll need to either create a new gallery or edit an existing gallery. If you need any help, check out our guide on creating your first gallery.

Step 2 – Set up Fullscreen Settings

Navigate to the Lightbox tab and choose the settings that you want for your gallery. You can choose to show the lightbox image fullscreen on open, or give the visitors control by having them click a button.

Step 3 – Publish or Update Gallery

Finally, click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes.

If you’re using either of the Base lightbox themes, you’ll see the fullscreen icon in the top toolbar.

Any other lightbox themes will need to have the gallery toolbar enabled in order to show a button to open the image fullscreen.

See the demo!
