A Colorbox/Lightbox plugin for WordPress.

jQuery Colorbox features 11 themes from which you can choose. See my website.
Works out-of-the-box with WordPress Galleries and NextGEN Gallery! (choose no effect in NextGEN settings)

When adding an image to a post or page, usually a thumbnail is inserted and linked to the image in original size.
All images in posts and pages can be displayed in a Lightbox/colorbox when the thumbnail is clicked.
Images are grouped as galleries when linked in the same post or page. Groups can be displayed in a slideshow within the Lightbox/colorbox.

Individual images can be excluded by adding a special CSS class.

jQuery Colorbox can also open linked content (external as well as inline) in a Lightbox/Colorbox.

Go to the plugin page for demo pages.

Localization

Is your native language missing?
Translating the plugin is easy if you understand english and are fluent in another language.
I described in the FAQ how the translation works.
