I have used Simple Lightbox with WP 4.3 (or maybe earlier – can’t remember) to 4.7 and themes including twenty ten, twenty sixteen and various child themes of these. It works consistently but it is not easy to adapt (e.g.) which information it displays (caption/title/alt text) or to match its appearance to the theme. However, I haven’t tried its ‘themes’ or ‘add-ons’, so perhaps solutions exist with a bit more effort.
