## विवरण

WordPress ships with a native Lightbox-Effect for image blocks. This plugin adds
one tiny additional option to the core image and gallery blocks: `Show Caption`.

When the toggle is enabled, the native lightbox receives the current image alt text
as a `data-img-alt` attribute on the enlarged lightbox figure. A small frontend 
CSS then displays that value as a caption overlay inside the lightbox image.

Please note: The caption text is taken from the image `alt` attribute.

The toggle is only available when the native Lightbox-Effect is active. If the lightbox
is disabled or the image is linked somewhere else, the caption option is disabled
as well.

### Plugin Features

✔ adds a new toggle `Show caption` to the core Image block
 ✔ adds the same toggle
to the core Gallery block ✔ the toggle can only be enabled when the native Lightbox-
Effect is active ✔ ships with German translation files for the editor toggle ✔ uses
the image `alt` attribute as value for `data-img-alt` ✔ adds the attribute only 
to the enlarged image figure in the lightbox ✔ supports galleries by passing the
gallery setting to the nested image blocks ✔ outputs the value with a lightweight
frontend CSS pseudo element ✔ uses no new block and does not replace the existing
Image or Gallery blocks

## स्थापना

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/lmdm-lightbox-image-caption`
    directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.

## प्रश्नोत्तर

### Does it create a new block?

No, it only extends the existing core Image and Gallery blocks.

### Does it use the normal image caption field?

No. It uses the image `alt` attribute and writes it to `data-img-alt` in the native
lightbox overlay.

### Why is the toggle disabled?

The toggle is only active when the native WordPress Lightbox-Effect is enabled. 
If the image links to a media file, attachment page or custom URL, the native lightbox
is not active and the option is disabled.

### Does it work with galleries?

Yes. Enable the native Lightbox-Effect for the gallery first and then enable `Show
caption`. The setting is passed to the gallery images when the block is rendered.

### Does it load any additional assets in the frontend?

Yes, it loads one small CSS file that displays the `data-img-alt` value as a pseudo
element in the native lightbox overlay.

### What happens when i disable the plugin?

The additional toggle and frontend caption output disappear. Existing Image and 
Gallery blocks continue to work as normal core blocks.

### Who is the author of the plugin?

The WordPress-User “nicmare” vibe coded it. Means he had the idea of the plugin 
and uses AI to craft the code.
