Lighbox Settings

Instagram Feed plugin comes with a popup box, which appears when users click on a photo or a video in the feed. It lets them display the larger versions of Instagram media, as well as play videos and navigate through the posts.

To run the lightbox by clicking on the media, make sure Action OnClick option of Feed Settings tab is set to Open Lightbox.
