Can show any content type: images, photos from WordPress, NextGEN, Justified Image Grid, FooGallery and Jetpack galleries, WooCommerce product images, videos from popular services (YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Vine), Google Maps links, PDF documents, web pages and inline content even with shortcodes.

Easy to use, no need any additional modification of HTML code. Just select media items which want to display into the lightbox (for example YouTube or Vimeo videos) and the plugin attaches lightbox automatically to all appropriate links on your site.
