How to disable page scrolling when Elementor Lightbox is open

To achieve this effect, we will use simple CSS code. Just add this code to your WordPress site'sGlobal CSS ZonesThis will automatically disable page scrolling when Elementor's Lightbox opens.

There are several places in WordPress where you can add custom CSS:

• The style.css file of the child theme: If you are using a child theme, you can add custom CSS to the child theme's style file.
• Elementor Global CSS: With the Elementor editor, it is possible to directly add the "global setting" to add CSS so that it applies to the entire site.
• Theme Customizer > Additional CSS: In the WordPress dashboard's "exterior condition">"customizable">"Additional CSS" region, or you can add custom CSS globally.

.elementor-lightbox__container {
    overflow: hidden;
    overflow: hidden; position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    overflow: hidden; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
    right: 0;
    top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; }
}

body.elementor-lightbox-open {
    overflow: hidden !important; }
}
