[SOLVED] Problems with Lightbox Plus colorbox
 
The old Lightbox Plus worked like a charm. Now it has changed to Lightbox Plus Colorbox.

I have selected Use for Wordpress Galleries, I have tried everything. The demo works beautifully, but even though I have "link to media" selected, it still opens on its own page.

I have spent far too much time trying to figure this out and the forum is not well moderated. Anyone know of a nice, fast, easy gallery plugin?

I have also deactivated all plugins and no luck. Then I deleted Lightbox Plus Colorbox and used the internal gallery creator. Still no success

Ata 3.7.11
WordPress 3.5.1

Is there a screaming emoticon??

I like Easy Fancybox.

Thank you, LMiles, I will give it a try right now.

Nope...does not work cross browser. I tried deactivating all the plugins, too

I have the latest WP and ATA, the Fancybox settings are mostly the default, made the maximum size smaller. Any other suggestions?

the galleries are under the Youth link.

what is the page that sends you to that page?

what browser doesn't it work on?

Hi Juggledad,

If you go to http://stpeter-duncan.ca/youth/if-for-youth-11-14/

You will see a gallery of 3 photos. I have easy Fancybox activated.

When you click on the photos, they open in a new page rather than as a popup.

I would double check the Link to Media selection for the galleries. I have no way of determining much more without logging in to the site.

You could opt to use a gallery plugin such as NextGen instead of the WordPress Gallery function.

I may go back to Lightbox plus and start from scratch. What a pain. This should be so easy. I will post the Lightbox Plus Colorbox settings if I ever get the thing working.

SharonJ Feb 26, 2013 10:34 PM

I just remembered that with the new Lightbox Plus with Colorbox you have to add something to the gallery code i.e.

[gallery link="file" ids="36,39,38,37,35,34,33,32,31,48,47,46,49"]

link="file"

I will try that and report back.

Update: Add that little piece of code and it works like a charm.
