   Hi!
   I used the shadowbox-version 3.0.0.3 and now updated it to the newest version.
   Unfortunately it doesn't work anylonger: my pictures were opened not in this cool window, but just in the normal browser-window.

   I did't change anything! I even updated to the newest WordPress-version, ...with no result.

   So, what is wrong? Also the default-wordpress-theme doesn't show the shadowbox. So it is not up to this "<?php wp_head(); ?>"-thing.

   Thanks for replies,
   nina

   I have seen that this topic has been discussed before, but it seems to be a very user-dependent...
   I think I just wait for another update and downgrade to 3.0.0.3 meanwhile.

   Thanks. :)

   There are a few things that you can do. Give me a link to your site so I can take a look. Also you could try upgrading to the development version from: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/shadowbox-js.zip

   To upgrade to the development version:

   1) Deactivate the Shadowbox JS plugin
   2) Delete the shadowbox-js directory from wp-content/plugins
   3) Upload the contents of the shadowbox-js.zip file to wp-content/plugins/shadowbox-js
   4) Activate the plugin

   Some changes that have been made in the development version may resolve your problem.

   If it doesn't please give me a link to your site so I can take a better look.

   If you were to give me a link to your site it would need to be running one of the versions that does *not* work as intended.

   Hi Sivel,

   I too am experiencing this issue with js shadow box. All was working fine until this morning.

   I have just tried the development version as above and still the images in my blog are opened in a standard browser window.

   Any help would be gratefully appreciated ;)

   @TykeTiler: Your problem seems to be that you are missing the call for <?php wp_footer(); ?> directly before </body> in your themes footer.php

   Thanks very much for taking the time to look mate ;)

   I really appreciate it.

   I must have been tinkering and somehow lost the code (doh!)

   Thanks again

   Hi,

   i also have problems around here. i put the wp_footer(); directly before the body tag, but nothing changed.

   Are there some other hints to get the shadow plugin works after that update, or how can i downgrade it?

   Thanks,
   Lars

   ok, download the 3.0.0.3 from here, delete the newer plugin and copy the old one in the wp_content/plugin folder.

   Go to the plugin administration, deaktivate and active the 'older' plugin and everything works fine at the moment :-)
