Any chance of a URL?
If not, can you try disabling deep-linking? You can do it from Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Deep Linking.
Fancybox2 has been an option in the plugin for quite a few years – it only comes into action if you select the “Non-bundled lightboxes” option (see here).

I tried to disable deep-linking and no change. Here’s a link to an example page http://bit.ly/2iyQaUu
Thank you!
Is there any caching plugin active on your site? The reason I ask is because there are a couple of variables that I am not seeing on your website. When I go through the page source for the link you provided, I see a variable called Photonic_JS, which should have two elements – deep_linking and social_media. I am not seeing any of them.
OK – so here’s what is probably happening:
- You might have some sort of a caching plugin that needs to regenerate the pages. The two variables that I mentioned above control the deep-linking behaviour, and are set by the back-end for the front-end. If you turn off deep-linking and that gets reflected in the front-end, you should be fine.
- The reason deep-linking itself isn’t working is because of a script that is being loaded by your theme (
autoloadpost.js), which seems to be killing the # in the deep-link, resulting in the links getting distorted. When I click on a thumbnail to show an image, for the briefest moment it shows up in Swipebox, then the URL gets changed and you get the 404 error.

To secure my site, I use Wordfence, which has caching capabilities. I don’t use them, however. And even after disabling Wordfence all together, I still have the same problem. :-/

OK I have narrowed it down to a problem with Swipebox. I have tried all the other pre-installed lightboxs and they all work except the aforementioned.
Weird. I was pretty sure the problem was due to caching. Basically, if you see here, the two variables should show up.
I can give you a workaround for now, but if we were able to disable deep-linking that would have been the least messy solution. If you go to photonic.js line 90, you can replace this code:
if (Photonic_JS.deep_linking == 'none') {
return;
}
With this:
if (Photonic_JS.deep_linking == undefined || Photonic_JS.deep_linking == 'none') {
return;
}
Similarly, for line 44, replace:
if (Photonic_JS.social_media == '') {
return;
}
With this:
if (Photonic_JS.social_media == undefined || Photonic_JS.social_media == '') {
return;
}

I went back to version 1.57 for now. Everything is back to working fine. If I get the time, I may apply that workaround you provided.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to help!
Can you let me know if 1.59 fixes this?
Also, I made some changes to the Picasa integration, with respect to authentication. See here and here. This will make it a lot easier to determine album ids and display protected content etc.
I am guessing this is no longer an issue. I am going ahead and marking this thread resolved, unless you think there is something I still need to fix.
