Image Lightbox

The Thesis theme comes with a built-in lightbox feature that enhances the viewing experience of images on your site. When enabled, users can click on images to view them in a fullscreen modal.

Default Behavior

By default, the lightbox feature is enabled for all images on your site. When a user clicks on an image, it opens in a fullscreen modal that allows for:

• Zooming in and out of images
• Viewing images in a distraction-free environment
• Closing the lightbox by clicking on image, using the escape key or scrolling the page

Disabling Lightbox Globally

If you prefer not to use the built-in lightbox feature, you can disable it by adding the following code snippet to your site’s Code Injection settings:

<script>
window.pvs?.disableLightbox?.();
</script>

Enabling Lightbox for Specific Posts

In cases where you’ve disabled the lightbox globally but want to enable it for specific posts, you can use the internal tag system in Ghost:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
2. Go to Posts, and open the post
3. Open the Post settings sidebar
4. Add the #lightbox tag to Tags
5. Click Publish

The lightbox will now be enabled on posts with the #lightbox internal tag, even if it’s disabled globally.

Disabling Lightbox for Specific Posts

If you prefer to disable the lightbox only for certain posts, you can use another internal tag:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
2. Go to Posts, and open the post
3. Open the Post settings sidebar
4. Add the #disable-lightbox tag to Tags
5. Click Publish

The lightbox will now be disabled only on posts with the #disable-lightbox internal tag.
