How to Add Two (or More) Lightboxes on One Page in Webflow (And Why Gapflow Ensures Forms on That Page Work Flawlessly)

Webflow’s native lightbox is perfect for showcasing media, but what if you need multiple lightboxes on the same page — each with their own gallery of images or videos?

The challenge: Webflow tends to group all lightbox elements together by default, meaning one lightbox can accidentally open the media from another. This causes confusion and breaks the user experience.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up multiple lightboxes on one page in Webflow, and how Gapflow.io ensures that all forms on your complex pages still submit securely, automatically, and intelligently.

🔍 The Problem with Multiple Webflow Lightboxes

By default, Webflow groups lightboxes with the same lightbox group ID. This means:

• All lightboxes on the page are treated as one gallery.
• Clicking a thumbnail in Lightbox A might show images from Lightbox B.

This can break design intent and confuse your visitors.

✅ How to Add Multiple Independent Lightboxes in Webflow

Here’s how to separate your lightboxes so they behave individually:

1. Use Unique Lightbox Groups

• Select each Lightbox component.
• In the Element Settings Panel, set a unique Lightbox Group Name for each.
• Example:
  • Lightbox Group A → gallery-1
  • Lightbox Group B → gallery-2

2. Repeat for Each Group

• Each group must have its own unique ID.
• Now, when a user clicks on a thumbnail in one group, only images from that group are shown.

3. Test Before You Publish

• Use Preview Mode to check the lightbox behavior.
• Then publish to a staging domain to verify full functionality across browsers.

⚠️ What About Forms on the Same Page?

If your page has forms (e.g. contact, newsletter, or quote requests) — especially alongside custom lightbox code or animations — form issues can arise:

• Scripts can conflict
• Forms may not submit
• You risk losing valuable leads

Gapflow.io prevents all of that by catching and optimizing every Webflow form submission — no matter how complex the page layout is.
