# Fancybox Broken

 * For some reason Fancybox isn’t functioning for my galleries. All the other styles
   work (lightbox, shutter – etc). It’s as if the javascript isn’t loading. When
   an image is clicked on – it opens in a separate tab or page vs the desired fancybox
   effect.
 * Any thoughts ?
    Thanks!

 * [@jbny1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbny1/) – This is often a case of
   a conflict with another Fancybox being used from another plugin or the current
   theme. Have you checked if there are any conflicts of this nature … it could 
   also be a more general conflict so please make sure to check all of your active
   plugins.
 * Thanks!

 * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) – Do you guys 
   have any other info? None of my plugins have changed in the last 6 months other
   than updates. The same is true for my WordPress version – just regular updates.
 * I’m also using the same theme I have for nearly a year.
 * Thanks guys 🙂

 * [@jbny1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbny1/) – It is possible one of 
   those updates may be what is causing this issue. Did you check them all the same?

 * Hi I am having the same problem except none of the effects work when changed 
   via the options menu. I have tried thickbox, shutter, lightbox etc and they all
   result the same: the thumbnail opens the image in a new window.
 * Example:

 * It was working (shutter was chosen) up until this week. Possibly caused by updates?

 * [@gemixin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemixin/) – You appear to be describing
   a different issue so it would probably be best to start your own topic.

 * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) – thanks guys –
   got it sorted out. The “” Q and A FAQ and Knowledge Base for WordPress “” plugin
   was causing an issue with the jQuery mode set at “force latest version” vs WP
   Included. Switched to WP and all is right again with Fancybox.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
