Conflict with Async JS & CSS plugin

Hi there,

I am very happy with the Simple Lighbox plugin, and it plays a huge role on my website.

To solve the issue of render-blocking javacript and CSS I got the plugin Async JS & CSS. It has been working quite well, and increased the speed on my site, but it does not work well with Simple Lightbox. At first there where meny things that dind’t work on my site after activating the async plugin, but you can exclude certain scripts and excluding jquery helped fixing a lot of issues.

But the Simple Lightbox still would not work.. Clicking images first only opened them in the tab window.. I then disabled “minify CSS” in the plugin, as well as “Detect <script> tags in wp_footer”. Clicking the images now darkened the screen (as it normally will when the simple lightbox opens) but no image appears (except a couple of times, but I don’t know why as I hadn’t changed anything)… I am struggling to figure out what it is that keep it from loading properly. Which exact .js file does this job? If I knew, I could try to exclude it from the async JS and CSS plugin.

Simple lightbox is supposed to work with the distribution map and the carousel gallery towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks!
Havard
