I don't trust the plugin. I got it working and had various problems. Sorry, but I don't have the technical knowledge to explain what happened, but even after deactivating it I saw strange things: like the mispelled word "lighview" appearing in my image names. Anyway, I'd suggest waiting...

But this plugin does nothing within the database and it spells "lightview" correct. You can trust me ;-)

Posted 1 year ago #Okay, now I'm not so sure Lightview caused the problem. All I know is that after loading Lightview (among other plugins) I couldn't access Wordpress or any pages (I got the error where a window pops open asking if I want to save index.php etc.). I thought Lightview was to blame, because all my other plugins are very tame. But maybe I was wrong. It was VERY late and I was tired. Sorry.
I lamely reinstalled the entire blog because I didn't have any content loaded anyway. Then I backed everything up and tried Lightview again. It worked and I didn't get a PHP error, but by that time I had learned about image.php and decided I prefered simple over flashy.
So I disabled Lightview. BUT then, when clicking on a gallery thumb, it opened directly to the image, rather than opening in image.php. Strange. It seems to me that Lightview altered some setting that wasn't switched back when I disabled it.
Rather than messing around trying to figure out what happened, I reinstalled Wordpress again, uploaded the backed up database, and moved on.
