[Plugin: Auto Thickbox Plus] stopped working on update

Hi StickBoy,

Thanks for using Auto ThickBox Plus plugin.

> I just updated to version 0.6 and now it seems to not work – only get a

> Is there a problem with new version or maybe the new version doesn’t work

> Can you fix the problem? Or let me know how to revert back to the last

I apologize for your inconvenience.
I checked your site, and I found strange code.

http://www.leeaaron.com/store/

Auto ThickBox (Plus) plugin does not generate the following code.
Did you write the code manually?

<script type="text/javascript">try{_mobify("http://m.leeaaron.com/");}
catch(err) {};</script>
   <link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://www.leeaaron.com/wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.css"
type="text/css" media="screen" />

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var tb_pathToImage =
"http://www.leeaaron.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif";
   var tb_closeImage =
"http://www.leeaaron.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/thickbox/tb-close.png"
   </script>
</head>

By the code above, thickbox.css of Auto ThickBox Plus plugin
is overwritten with /wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.css.
So I think the issue is solved if you remove the code.

P.S.
You can get old versions from here.

Update: I deleted a bunch (30+) plugins I wasn’t using. Did a couple other things. Somewhere along the way, the css links disappeared, though the mobify script is still there.
Tried your plugin again, still threw up the error I sent in last email.
Uninstalled it again and was about to try some brain-busting procedures when I thought I will install the older version of your plugin and see what happens.
It works.
So I clicked on the link to update it … and then I get that error message again.
So I reverted back to the version 0.5 and it works, so I will leave it at that for now.
Maybe you can have a look at the error message and see if maybe there is a problem with the plugin? I do like to keep everything up to date, and your plugin works so perfect with my site that I would like to keep using it.
Anyway, thanks again for your response, it did help, if only to inform me how to install the old version 🙂
And I hope that my error message will help you to find any small mistake.
