   After upgrading, when I click on a thumbnail it no longer brings up the image in the gallery with navigation, instead it just loads the image file in the browser window?

   To see what I mean go here http://www.leckhamptononline.co.uk/2010/12/vote-now-in-the-christmas-window-competition/

   Any help would be great.

   Hi, I'm having the same problem here: http://animivirtus.com/portfolio/.

   I checked your site you linked to and it looks like it's been fixed, the lightbox effect is working, any idea what the problem was, or how I can fix it too?

   Hi,

   I was some javascript in my sidebar (widget) that was causing the problem. Once I removed that the plugin worked fine.

   Has yours ever worked? Have you made a change recently?

   Yup, it's always worked in every site I've tried it on until recently. I installed the plugin from within WordPress, usually I've downloaded it and installed it manually, but never for any reason, I didn't customize anything, I just did it that way.

   The site it doesn't work on doesn't have a sidebar. The only change was the installation method, and this is a newer version than I have running on anything else. It even works on other blogs I have running on the same server.

   I suppose I could just copy the folder from the earlier version and use it in the new site. I'm not doing anything complicated, just posting galleries.

   Nope, correction, I can't just upload the old version. I don't know why, but it didn't change a thing. No errors, no fixes, it behaved exactly the same way, showing the image in the browser window instead of the lightbox effect.

   I figured it out. I took the wp_head() command out of my header file when I was making my theme. I wanted all unnecessary/unknown stuff out of there so I just had the bare bones. Turns out that isn't unnecessary; it's what plugins look for when they insert scripts and stuff. I put it back in just before </head> and lightbox worked again.
