Is there a way to turn off Lightbox for mobile vertical and horizontal? There is no grey/blue spot in front of Enable. I only want to use it on large screens. @dan

That Lightbox on/off switch is not responsive. If you wanted different behaviours at different screen sizes you’d need to hide and show two images, it’d be a bit fiddly to setup, but it’s possible…

I see no point in having Lightbox on a mobile unless the image/photo is very small. My photos fill the screen on mobiles and using Lightbox actually make them smaller.

I also wish there was an option to turn off the Lightbox on mobile, I have a very photo gallery heavy site and the Lightbox images on mobile are so tiny that they are hard to see. I had to set my gallery to only one image per row so they can be seen and hope nobody launches Lightbox.
