 * Hello,
    How can I disable the default WP lightbox for my Gallery? With this plugin,
   i have 2 lightboxes now. so when you close this one, it shows the default lightbox
   too. I only need your plugin which has the Navigation option.
 * thanks

 * WordPress itself does not have any lightbox at all (that’s the reason why plugins
   like mine exist). The lightbox you see here is provided by the gallery plugin
   or theme you are using. Please ask the maintainers of the gallery or theme or
   check the documentation of the plugin or theme if there is way to turn off the
   their lightbox.
