Lightbox Images for Divi Enhanced

2.2.4

• Fixed 404 error in browser console on Divi 5 for magnific-popup.js and magnific_popup.css
• The plugin now verifies the bundled Magnific Popup files actually exist on disk before enqueuing them, and cleanly falls back to the built-in vanilla JS lightbox when they are not available
• Enqueue hook moved to priority 20 so Magnific Popup detection correctly sees scripts already registered by Divi
• Hardened script detection loop against non-string values (prevents potential PHP 8+ warnings)

2.2.3

• Fixed lightbox not working on images in the WordPress classic/block editor post content field when rendered by Divi’s Post Content module
• The Post Content module container (.et_pb_post_content) is now correctly recognized as an allowed content area

2.2.2

• Replaced exclusion-based (blacklist) approach with a whitelist strategy for maximum compatibility with third-party modules
• The plugin now only acts inside Divi text modules, blurb content, and plain WordPress editor content, leaving all other modules untouched
• Fixes interference with third-party modules like Divi Blog Extra, Divi Machine, and any future modules

2.2.1

• Fixed lightbox being applied to unintended elements like menu logos, blog thumbnails, third-party module images, and CTA images
• Removed overly broad .et_pb_module a CSS selector from defaults to prevent interference with non-content modules
• Added exclusion list for Divi modules that handle their own click behavior (menus, blogs, portfolios, sliders, shop, headers, etc.)
• Fixed direct image URL links not opening in lightbox because Magnific Popup was not being initialized directly by the plugin

2.2.0

• Full Divi 5 compatibility: rewritten JavaScript in vanilla JS without jQuery dependency
• Added support for images linked to WordPress attachment pages (not just direct image URLs)
• New built-in fallback lightbox for environments where Magnific Popup is not available
• Improved image URL resolution: extracts full-size image from srcset or strips WordPress size suffix
• Added debounced MutationObserver for better performance with dynamically loaded content
• Added accessibility attributes (role, aria-modal, aria-label) to the fallback lightbox
• New CSS file for fallback lightbox styles
• jQuery is now an optional dependency (used if available, not required)
• Keyboard support: Escape key closes the lightbox
• Added new FAQ entries about Divi 5 and attachment page links
• Tested up to WordPress 7.0
