Lightbox not working

    Not sure if anyone responds to these but I am struggling to get the lightbox to work for a slideshow. Slickr used to work great and broke a while back. Finally getting on to trying to fix it. I am getting the pictures pulled from Flickr fine in the row of thumbnails, but nothing happens when I click the pictures.
    I have tried both the twenty eleven theme and twenty twelve, zero plugins activated except Slickr, deleted any other lightbox related plugin and tried multiple browsers on multiple machines. Nothing seems to make a stitch of difference. I’m now on my third full day of trying to figure out what is wrong. I’d go Pro except $200 for a family site that I’m lucky to get a visit once a year from a family member seems like a lot. 🙂 Any suggestions?

    I am also having difficulty getting lightbox to work. It seems like perhaps Flickr changed (again) how to pull out their photos into a slideshow.

    With the update to 2.0, are you required to have tags on your flickr photos to make them work in an embedded widget? The code I was using did not use a tag, but a set, as these are photos uploaded in bulk and not organized in any specific way – except by date.

    Thanks!

    Just as an update – I was able to get the slideshow back in there, but many of the options for customizing the slideshow seem to be broken – search, sets, etc. Just as a heads up, Quadrophenia, I had to get a new API key to make it start working again and remove a lot of the custom code I had for the widget slideshow. It’s now just pulling the id and the set.

    Thank you very much for the suggestions, Paula! I have no idea what is going on. lol I got a new API key as you suggested. It made no difference for a while, but as I was playing with some Slickr options to try to see what was happening on a new shortcode line in the same post, all of a sudden the old one started working popping up a slideshow. Very weird. It doesn’t seem to make any difference which API key I use. Still testing further on the Slickr options. 🙂

    @quadrophenia, this problem is most likely a lightbox issue.

    Please post the URL of your site.

    Also are you using the default lightbox with Slickr Flickr or using a different lightbox such as FancyBox or PrettyPhoto.

    Have you tried setting the option to load the scripts in the footer – that sometimes helps with lightbox conflicts

    @paulala15,

    Re:

    What custom code did you have to remove?

    Maybe I can help with reintroducing it.

    I changed much of the code in Slickr Flickr 2.0 to adhere more closely to WordPress plugin coding and file-naming standards so a lot has changed.

    For example, to display a slideshow/gallery, rather than using the function slickr_flickr_display($attr) , now we have Slickr_Flickr_Public::display($attr)

    If you post your URL I should be able to see if there are any Javascript issues
