  Changes are happening to WP.com – blocks and classic…..
  Did you (developers) ever consider adding Lightbox this time around?
  If no, a javascript issue?
  Could it be possible to create something look-alike?

  I understand it’s available as plugin on business plan……

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  Are you able to detail more about what you’re trying to build please?

  Lightboxes are available on gallery blocks and tiled gallery blocks.

  Many thanks in advance.

  Hi

  Available? I will have to check again !
  As you can see, my site will mostly display videos, I use shortcode > Vimeo.
  Any chance I will find lightbox to correspond with that?
  Or – anywhere else I can find a block suitable for that purpose?

  It’s a very nice feature to have.

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching back out.

  Are you looking for the Vimo video to open up in a lightbox?

  Many thanks.

  Thanks for your time.

  Yes….without having to upgrade :) to use plugins.
  If not possible I just have to accept it, but again ; a nice feature.

  Thanks for clarifying! The gallery and tiled gallery blocks are only for images, so using videos there wouldn’t be possible. Therefore the only way you would be able to add that functionality would be to upgrade to a plan that would allow you to use plugins.

  I hope that clarifies things! Let us know if you need help with anything else.
