    Hi there,
    I used Colorbox a while and it’s really great!
    However I recently noticed it stopped working. When you click on a colorbox link you only see the ‘dim’ effect and nothing else is being shown, when you click again it exits normally. First I thought it was a problem with Google Analytics plugin tracking which uses an onclick function. Disabling the function and later the GA plugin didn’t resolve the issue.
    I’m currently stuck.
    Address is: http://www.beta-iatefl.org/gallery/

    Your help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    I just took a look at your blog, did you deactivate my plugin?
    I can’t see my plugin name anywhere in your sites HTML.
    Cheers,

    Hi Arne,
    yes I did deactivate it, but activated it now.
    You can take a look!

    Hi,
    I guess it’s because your blog uses a jQuery library hosted by Google. The version that is currently loaded is 1.4.4, and the Colorbox library that is included by my plugin is only compatible with jQuery 1.4.2. I will provide the newest version of the colorbox library in a newer plugin version, but that will take some time.

    If you want to keep using my plugin until then, you’ll either have to use jQuery 1.4.2, or manually update the colorbox library in the plugin directory.
    It’s just the jquery.colorbox-min.js.
    You can download the newest version of the colorbox library here:

    Cheers,
    Arne

    Manually updated the jquery.colorbox-min-js and it worked!
    This was one of the things I thought it could be, should have tested it without bothering you … but at least here is the solution if someone else looks for it 🙂
    Cheers to you too!

    Thanks for the feedback! I am glad it worked out ok.

    One thing though: it’s generally not a good idea to use a jQuery version other than the one included by WordPress since many plugins and also much WordPress functionality rely on that library.
    Google updates the JS file as soon as a newer version of jQuery becomes stable, so things may stop working on your blog any time without you noticing it.

    Cheers,

    forgot:
    instead of linking to
    http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js
    you could link to
    http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js
    which is the version bundled in WordPress 3, also the version will always be 1.4.2
    Cheers,
