Many thanks for your review!
Unfortunately, it would be impossible to replace the Magnific Popup library with Photoswipe due to backward compatibility.
As for the background images, could you please provide a screenshot of what you’re looking for?
Thanks again!
Thank you for your reply.
I mean something like this: https://imgur.com/a/wAowLuD For example, GeneratePress includes a content layout called “separate containers” with white background color that makes this kind of design possible.
Please consider adding Photoswipe as an alternative lightbox. It’s so much better than Magnific Popup. Even the author of both scripts recommends Photoswipe nowadays. For example, Justified Image Grid offers multiple lightboxes: https://justifiedgrid.com/lightboxes/ Compare this: https://justifiedgrid.com/lightboxes/photoswipe/ with this: https://justifiedgrid.com/lightboxes/magnific-popup/ on your mobile phone.
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback. Our Expertly theme has a similar layout: https://expertlytheme.com/expertly/ and an image background can be applied via custom CSS.
I’ve added Photoswipe to our roadmap, and we’ll add this as an alternative if there’re more users requesting it.
Thanks!
