There is an option for that in plugin settings.
I had the same problem. If you insert each image individually, like this,
<a rel="lightbox" href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/fields.jpg">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/my-image.jpg />
</a>
it will just blow up the image, and you can’t cycle through images.
The best option is put them in a gallery:
1. Click the Add Media button in post editor.
2. Instead of “Insert Media,” select “Create Gallery”
3. Select images, click “Create Gallery Button”
The shortcode appears like this:
[gallery ids="20,29"]
Make sure to go to Settings > Responsive Lightbox, then enable Galleries.
—EDIT—
Looking at the General Settings more closely, it looks like you can cycle through multiple images in the lightbox without putting them in a gallery. Just Enable “Single images as gallery” in General Settings.
But I think it makes more sense from a structural perspective to put gallery-type images in a gallery. You may want a separate functionality for single images. There’s also the chance that cycling through would include elements of the page (i.e. an image used for a header).
Super – “Just Enable “Single images as gallery” in General Settings” thanks lupinski

These settings work fine for me:
Enable “Single images as gallery” in General Settings.
Thanks for the tips, lupinski!
