Save template .

4,To use Lightbox effect in your post ,when editing post ,click on Edit HTML .

To add lightbox effect for one image ,just use rel="lightbox" title="Your image Caption" as picture above
To add lightbox effect for multiple images , use rel="lightbox[albumname]" title="Your Image Caption"
if you want to add another image to this album,upload the second image and use rel="lightbox[albumname]" title="Caption for Second image of albumname" 
in this case , lightbox will work like a gallery with next and previous links  and you can use keyboard to navigate through the album
 That's all for Lightbox effect . I hope it work for you . 
Feel free to leave me feedback ^^
