Hello – I’m a beginner WordPress user, so I apologise if am asking an obvious question.
I would like to insert a thumbnail image into a blog post. I would like that thumbnail to appear in the body of a paragraph (i.e. the text of that paragraph wraps around the thumbnail). When the user clicks on the thumbnail, I would like a full size version of the image to appear, using the Lightbox Ultimate shortcode.
I have been able to successfully use Lightbox Ultimate to display the full sized image when the user clicks on the thumbnail, but <only> when the thumbnail is displayed on a separate line in the post. Is there a way for that thumbnail to appear in the body of the paragraph? In other words, with the text of the paragraph running around the thumbnail image.
I am using WP Lightbox 1.7.4
With thanks for any help.
Thanks for your prompt response!
Yes – each blog post would include a thumbnail image in the first paragraph. Clicking on that thumbnail should trigger Lightbox Ultimate to display a full-sized version of that thumbnail.
With thanks,
In case it would help to see the actual blog post & thumbnail I am referring to, please visit http://www.rememberseptember.com.au
The post where I am trying to achieve this effect is the most recent post on the blog called ‘Perhaps – post #2’
In that case please follow the instruction here for styling multiple lightbox shortcode anchors:
Lightbox Ultimate – How to Add Custom CSS to a Lightbox Anchor (Text or Image)
By default each shortcode div takes the whole block. But you can specify it to be inline (so you can place other elements side by side). For example:
.lightbox_ultimate_image_anchor {
display:inline;
}Let me know how it goes.
That latest reply could NOT have been better timing. I was going to ask a question about this exact scenario today…
Way to anticipate my every need!!!!

If you ever need to style each shortcode anchor in a different way please follow the documentation here:
