A lightbox opens the post on top of your page when a visitor clicks it. Visitors stay on your website. The lightbox shows the large photo or plays the video, with the account name and the caption. Visitors can move to the next or previous post with the arrows.
Lightbox needs a Pro widget. Pro widgets come with the Lite, Pro and Developer plans. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See Free and Pro widgets.
