 * WordPress uses jQuery 1.11.x
    The fancybox version in this plugin is still version
   1.3.4 which does not work with jQuery 1.11.x. Please update!

 * Yeah, but Fancybox v. 1.x is not developed anymore. Fancybox 2.x is under licence
   that’s not allowed to use in WP repository.
 * Are you sure the issue you are having comes from jQUery 1.11.x?

 * Thanks for your fast responce!
 * And that explanes a lot, I didn’t know about the licence.
 * And yes I’m quite sure. It all works fine until 1.9.x, after that I get errors
   so I can’t use the “build-in” jQuery version with WP 4.0.
    I have no other lightbox-
   like plugins or anything and have the latest version of your plugin.

 * Jory, we have tested Faancybox shipping with RL with WP 4.0
 * No issues at all. So I believe there must be a different reason for this.
 * Maybe other JS scripts you have on your site do not work properly with jQUery
   1.11.x but what you see at the first glance is lightbox issue – that’s just easiest
   to notice.

 * That’s odd, I’ll have a look, thanks again for your help. I’ve change my “broken”
   vote to “works”.

 * I think this is related (otherwise I’ll open a new thread):
 * I got `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined` when I chose
   Fancybox, causing it to not work. I found [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14344289/fancybox-doesnt-work-with-jquery-v1-9-0-f-browser-is-undefined-cannot-read)
   about it and the answer confirmed that Fancybox 1.3.4 does not work with jQuery
   v1.9.0.
 * The suggested solution was to patch the `jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js` file, changing
   `
   isIE6 = $.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7 && !window.XMLHttpRequest,` to:`
   isIE6 = navigator.userAgent.match(/msie [6]/i) && !window.XMLHttpRequest,`
 * I tried this and it worked. If we can’t have Fancybox v2.1.4 (which has fixed
   this issue) because of license issues, then maybe the `jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.
   js` provided by this plugin could be patched the same way?

 * There is a patch [here](http://fancybox.net/js/fancybox-1.3.4/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js)
   and a conversation [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14344289/fancybox-doesnt-work-with-jquery-v1-9-0-f-browser-is-undefined-cannot-read).
   i hope it works!

 * The patch is applied and will be in use in the next RL update.
