Lightbox mechanism seems to be broken after WP 3.7 update
-
I’ve updated WP to 3.7 and just after this, the lightbox mechanism is not operating any more. I click on a photograph and it displays the image itself, not displaying the image in a lightbox frame as before the WP update.
Thanks.

SLB has been tested with 3.7 and no issues were found. The issue may be specific to your setup.
Please see the instructions on reporting issues so that your issue can be investigated further.

I have experienced another WP 3.7 related issue with another light box, so I have switched to Simple Lightbox.
And as the first poster said, it just does nothing, nada.
Theme’s Atahualpa, the rest is basic WP.

Since I updated to version 2.1.1, and WP 3.7.1 I get this error:
Warning: file_get_contents(/homepages/0/d466499581/htdocs/wp-test/plugins/simple-lightbox/themes/baseline/layout.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/0/d466499581/htdocs/wp-test/wp-content/plugins/simple-lightbox/includes/class.base_object.php on line 255
Is there a problem with jquery or what?
Pls help
I was using Simple Lightbox with the Twenty Thirteen theme and it was working correctly. I updated WordPress to version 3.7.1. and right after I updated Simple Lightbox to 2.1.1.
After that, Lightbox stopped working correcty. The photo is loaded at the bottom of the page, without CSS. The style.css files from the templates could not be loaded, the URL’s aren’t correct.
CSS is loaded from:
http://localhost/wp-content/plugins/simple-lightbox/themes/baseline/css/style.css AND
http://localhost/wp-content/plugins/simple-lightbox/themes/default/css/style.cssThe base url of the website is: http://localhost/sitename/
But the name of the website is missing in the URL’s of the CSS:
http://localhost/sitename/wp-content/plugins/simple-lightbox/themes/baseline/css/style.cssHas this anything to do with the update(s)? Is it easy to fix? Thanks!
By the way, when I add the CSS-link in the header.php file manually, Lightbox is working correctly. But I don’t think that’s the best way…
I had to reinstall previous version of SLB. Now it works fine again…. theres is some kind of incompatibility between WP-3.7.1 and SLB-2.1.1
Thanks for the reports!
Some questions for further investigation:
Have your
wp-content
orplugins
directory been moved from their default locations? If so, what is the value of the following settings in the site’swp-config.php
file:*
WP_CONTENT_DIR
*WP_CONTENT_URL
*WP_PLUGIN_DIR
*WP_PLUGIN_URL
Also, what are the following options set to for your site (in Settings > General:
* WordPress Address (URL)
* Site Address (URL)Thanks again.
This is the URL, it is now working with the previous version of SLB plugin…
I dont see thoses values in the config file
Update: SLB 2.1.2 has been released with a fix for this issue.
Please update your version of SLB and report back if you are still experiencing a problem.
fwiw, v2.0 works fine with WP 3.7.1. Updating to 2.1.2 broke the slb.
I had to revert my sites, but if you want I can provide you with a ‘dev’ url or something for your testing.
*note* 2.1 does not work with 3.7.1 either. Though I’m almost positive 2.1 was fine with 3.7.0.
I’ve tested again with SLB 2.1.2 and WP 3.7.1 and my issue is still occuring. I made complementary tests and noticed that the issue is occuring when I use Firefox (last available Release version), but is NOT occuring with Chrome or Safari.
URL if you want to test: http://www.cahiers-espoir.org
Thanks.
Yes a dev link would be great, thanks.
That’s strange, SLB 2.1.2 works perfectly at the link you provided on Firefox v25.0 (latest release) as well as Chrome. Can you clear Firefox’s cache and reload the page to ensure that the latest version of SLB’s code is being loaded?
If you’re still experiencing an issue, please provide a bit more detail about the problem so that it can be investigated further.
I setup a ‘dev’ domain with the issue. This is SLB 2.1.2 w/ WP 3.7.1:
http://dev.cortesbuilders.com/gallery/exteriors/
I reverted to SLB 2.0 on the production site, which you can see working here:
Thanks for setting up the dev server. The issue appears to be related to a server configuration (PHP settings). As the specific PHP setting may be enabled or disabled by the web host, SLB will be updated with a fix in an upcoming version.
Thanks again!
