We’ve compiled the most common questions about FooBox to help you get started quickly and easily
FooBox is a responsive WordPress lightbox plugin. This means that it can open images, videos, and HTML content in a lightbox above the webpage. In other words, your visitors don’t leave the page they’re visiting. Instead, a new, separate box opens above that page to display the image form or other files. It will just popup over the content they were viewing, giving them a closer look at the data they wanted to focus on.
At its most basic, FooBox allows you to open images and visual files in a lightbox. This opens like a box or window above the gallery or page content, without navigating away from that page. Having a lightbox presents you with the opportunity to showcase your images, videos, and other visual data more effectively. It’s a user-friendly practice that does not disturb their experience with your website.
Lightbox features are particularly useful with touch screen devices, as well as smaller monitors. Thanks to this WordPress plugin, your users will be able to display data more clearly and efficiently, without worrying about the screen size. FooBox also supports the zoom function directly in the popup window that opens upon clicking.
But FooBox has other uses as well. With FooBox Pro, you can add HTML to your new lightbox. This allows you to open Youtube and Vimeo videos, galleries, forms, iFrames, and more, all in FooBox.

Yes. FooBox works out of the box, so there isn’t any setup or configuration required.

The settings, just like the lightbox function itself, are user-friendly and allow you to configure data and files as well as other elements, in a way that works for you and your website.
FooBox PRO does come with additional themes and color options. To make the most of these, you would need to adjust the settings. But we’ve kept them simple and easy to use. FooBox is a plugin designed to improve user experience with images they come across online, so it would only make sense to make this tool as accessible and responsive as possible.

Yes; FooBox is a responsive lightbox. In other words, it scales the image automatically to fit the screen on which that data is being viewed. If you’re on a phone or tablet, the image will scale down to fit the screen. This means FooBox is a mobile-friendly lightbox, which is an important consideration for any website and digital gallery. It’s also compatible with any browser.
Having responsive lightbox functionality is slowly becoming a must if you want to maintain a successful and profitable online presence, especially in the areas of e-commerce, photography, and any other project that has anything to do with visual data. This includes videos, as well. If you plan to embed a lot of YouTube content on your website or blog, using lightbox plugins is the best option.
The increasing popularity of responsive lightbox functions in the digital sphere has led to a rise of plenty of open-source plugins, such as Magnific Popup or, you guessed it — FooBox.
There are many benefits to using a lightbox plugin. A responsive lightbox plugin allows your users to view a full-size image without having to navigate away from the site. At the same time, you don’t have to use up precious page real estate by including the full-size image. You can simply use a thumbnail, which opens into the bigger picture.
Likewise, using a lightbox for forms, iFrames, videos, and other content, ensures your users get the most from your site without having to open new pages or navigate away. Plus, a lightbox is a great way to include slideshows on your site. It’s also a good option for embedding YouTube content on your site in a manner that is most convenient for your users, without forcing them to leave your domain.
Responsive lightbox plugins, such as FooBox, have provided users with an easier way to zoom in on content on their touch devices, straight from their browser. Media viewing has never been this easy! Add lightbox functionality to your website, if you want to experience an influx of new users and embed YouTube links, locally-hosted images, and other visual data in a quick and intuitive manner.
