    Hello.

    I’ve been helping a client clean up a pretty old wordpress site. Just updating plugins, showing how to change info, little things like that.
    After I updated their outdated plugins and core WP, we noticed an issue with NG Gallery.

    When we go to the gallery page – http://www.brit-education.co.uk/gallery/ – and click on a thumbnail, it doesn’t open the page with that gallery. It just shows the spinner for a while, and never goes anywhere. However, if I right-click “open in new tab”, it works ok.

    Do you know where this issue is coming from?

    Thank you very much for your assistance and for your work on this great word press tool.

    Cheers.

    @radawilinofsky – Have you tried deactivating all of your plugins, clearing your browser cache (and site caches if you are using a caching plugin), then reactivating the NextGEN plugin?

    If this fixes the problem then it was likely one of the deactivated plugins that was causing an issue. Now, retrace your steps activating each plugin and re-checking to see if the problem returns. If it does then that last activated plugin was probably the one. Keep reactivating and in most cases it is also best to keep checking after each plugin, sometimes there may be more than one plugin on a site that will create an issue. If you do find one (or more) plugins causing this problem we would greatly appreciate your feedback on them so the developers may address them as soon as they can.

    Also to note, in rare cases it may be the theme itself that is causing a conflict so while you have just the NextGEN plugin activated you might consider temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress Twenty series themes and see if this corrects the issue as well.

    If the problem still persists after all of this we would still want to know, even more so, as we will still want to sort out the issue and may need additional details.

    Thanks!

    Hi Cais!

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Turns out the issue is with the theme. No problem with the other themes.

    The error I’m getting in the console says “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘nodeName’ of undefined(…)” citing jquery.fancybox.js line 19. When I disable the fancybox script in the functions file, it works perfectly again. But there are other parts of the site that rely on fancybox.

    Do you know if there is any known issue with the fancybox compatibility? If so, are there any patches I could do?

    Thank you again for your time and assistance.

    @radawilinofsky – We bundle Fancybox with NextGEN Gallery. Are you saying the theme’s instance of the Lightbox library is where the problem is; or, are you pointing to our instance (which we bundle as a convenience)?

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
