What your Lightbox Modal plugin does

A focused plugin with one Elementor widget that shows content in a lightbox. You choose what opens, the effect and the close button.

Images, video and content
Open a photo, a YouTube or Vimeo video, or a block of text.
Trigger options
Open from a button, a text link or a thumbnail.
Effect and close
Pick the opening effect, overlay color and close button style.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: This covers one lightbox widget. Image galleries with many items and full popup rules are separate builds.

Add these to my request and get a quote
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.

Questions

Is there a free Elementor lightbox modal plugin?

Yes, free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Does it work with YouTube and Vimeo links?

Yes. Paste the video link and the lightbox plays it. Ora confirms the video sources you need in the plan.

Do I need Elementor?

Yes. This plugin is built for Elementor and adds a lightbox widget to the Elementor editor, so your site needs Elementor. You don't need to buy Essential Addons for Elementor Pro.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
