Yes, the default WordPress Gallery Block comes up just a little short in my humble opinion.
Mainly because there’s no option to have a light box popup that allows you to scroll through “all” the images – you have to close each image and then click on the another to see it in a light box – a pretty pants user experience!
To the rescue comes the awesome “Lightbox for Gallery & Image Block” plugin – this super lightweight plug does what is missing in default WordPress gallery with out any settings or configuration – install and you’ll have a proper light box gallery where you can click or swipe to see the next image!
In this WordPress tutorial for Block Theming I’ll show you how get your galleries sorted!
