Hi Steve,

To display lightbox galleries on your image using the classic editor will require some additional plugin that would be able to convert your image outputs on your page into lightboxes.

Perhaps you can try using this plugin below. This should be able to convert your images to lightboxes. Also how will you be outputting the images using the Classic editor ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Steve,

I've managed to track down a ticket where a user had a similar issue and was able to do it with the WP jQuery Lightbox plugin.

Here is the ticket below for reference.
