• upgraded wordpress to 2.5 from 2.3.3, previously using wp-lightbox js, did the upgrade everything went fine for a few days now the lightbox plugin doesn’t work and not just wp-lightbox js, but any of them I’ve gone thru about 6 lightbox,thickbox,lightwindow plugins and none seem to work on my site http;//djmgyx.net/WP anymore.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • At the moment my main guess is that the javascript file isn’t in the correct place.

    In your source code your plugin is looking for:

    http://djmgyx.net/WP/wp-content/plugins/wp-lightboxJS/lightbox.js

    and if you click on that as a link you should see a javascript file load in your browser. This doesn’t happen.

    That’s why it’s not working at the moment.

    i checked the files and it’s there. jsp/servlet apps weren’t enabled on my server so i turned them back on and still nada. i have another site azdoubletrouble.com that it works fine on any other items i should look for

    Well, as far as I know, if I can’t load that link up there, then neither can anyone’s web browser when they try to call the lightbox script.

    Perhaps you have a permissions issue?

    Also, I don’t think jsp/servlet has anything to do with it, but I’m not very up on these things. That should be more related to Java, not javascript.

    well all the other plugins work. i have feeling its the host so i’m gonna back up and move it to another domain/host and se how that works thanks for trying tho

    Hey djmgyx,

    Wow. That sounds pretty extreme.

    I wonder would it be worth while looking at a static version, just for the purposes of testing. I’d suggest downloading the script from here:

    http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/

    and uploading the sample to a subfolder on your host. If the sample doesn’t work, then you know there’s something fishy going on 🙂

    got it figured out …some other plugin was missing with it i installed a 2nd instance of wordpress and it worked fine..so i deleted all my plugins and tried it and worked fine question tho should wp lightbox and lightbox 2 work together i’d like to use image sets but i know with lightbox 2 u have to manually code them as with wp lightbox it adds a quick tag in the html compose window. also lightbox 2 mention modifying the header with js script do they mean my theme header(header.php) or the header in my index.html file as i have wordpress installed in sub directory with a meta tag redirect?

    thanks for any help u can provide. sorry for the bad typing i’m workin with 2 broken wrists 🙂
