    Hello,
    I am using the code <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[gallery columns="4"]‘ ); ?> to add a gallery to a custom post type.
    When clicking on the images it opens the media page – not a lightbox. I’d like to show those images in a lightbox and I have the feeling SLB has all that is needed for this but can’t figure out how.
    Can you let me know how to run the “[gallery]” shortcode via php through SLB so SLB works its magic?
    Thank you!
    Tobias

    Hi,
    figured it out – of course 2 minutes after posting LOL
    Here is the solution:

    <?php
$content = do_shortcode('[gallery columns="4"]');
if ( function_exists('slb_activate') )
$content = slb_activate($content);
echo $content;
?>

    Had to get rid of the “echo” that is usually used for do_shortcode and it’s working great.
    Thank you for this awesome plugin!
