DIVI: add lightbox to regular content images

divi-lightbox-snippet-for-functions.php

/* --- DEPRECATED --- */
/* add .et_pb_lightbox_image clss to content images */
add_filter('the_content', 'divi_add_lightbox');
function divi_add_lightbox($content) {
       global $post;
       $pattern ="/<a(.*?)href=('|\")(.*?).(bmp|gif|jpeg|jpg|png)('|\")(.*?)>/i";
       $replacement = '<a$1href=$2$3.$4$5 class="et_pb_lightbox_image" title="'.$post->post_title.'"$6>';
       $content = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $content);
       return $content;
}

But what if link points to an image but doesn't have img tag inside?
For example <a href="image.jpg"> will be wrapped with lightbox too!

My variant is most robust and correct. It wraps with lightbox only img's which have href's to images:

add_filter('the_content', 'divi_add_lightbox');
function divi_add_lightbox($content) {
    global $post;
    $pattern ='#(<a.*href=".*\.(?:bmp|gif|jpeg|jpg|png)")(.*>.*<img.*>.*</a>)#i';
    $replacement = '$1 class="et_pb_lightbox_image" title="' . $post->post_title . '"$2';
    $content = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $content);
    return $content;
}

Thank you @EldarAgalarov - your snippet works on my Divi 3.9 development site.

@EldarAgalarov, your code doesn't seem to work on the current versions of Divi and WP gallery (they don't trigger the lightbox) while the original does. I couldn't tell why.

I used the Gutenberg gallery block (though I think the code output is the same as the classic gallery).

nice one :-)

It doesn't work anymore!
