@Aung, When you load a page in lightbox it will display the whole page including the menu.
Hi, I would like to know about” Load another HTML page from your site in an overlay/popup”. Does this mean, you can create a pop up showing a whole page or part of a page form my own website? For example, I want to show ” contact us” page without menu item on our own original webpage ? Meaning, cut away the menu bar and footer areas and show only contact form in the pop up? Or how does it work? Very interested to purchase if you can make me understand this function clearly. Thank you very much.
@Erno, Please check our Lightbox Ultimate documentation page for shortcodes and instructions.
