Title: Gallery Plugin Conflict? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Gallery Plugin Conflict? * [thepandarocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepandarocks/) * (@thepandarocks) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-plugin-conflict/) * Hi, * Would someone mind viewing this page and letting me know if you can determine what the issue is with this lightbox feature? * When you click on a thumbnail, two layers open and you have to click twice to close. Very weird and I don’t want to delete the wrong section of code. * [http://kristienamer.com/web-design/](http://kristienamer.com/web-design/) * Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the “hatch” theme that I edited and customized.

The message was half in German so not sure what he meant!

What I know thus far is that the original theme “Hatch” has a lightbox code called “fancy box” in the functions.php file and that is what is conflicting with the lightbox plugin that I installed. * If you view a gallery page and click on a thumbnail you will see exactly what I am talking about. * [http://kristienamer.com/print-design/](http://kristienamer.com/print-design/) * When you click on a thumbnail and the larger image appears, click the X to close it and there will be another layer underneath. Fairly self explanatory … Thanks. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-plugin-conflict/#post-3729863) * > Are you reading what I already provided because that’s all I’ve got. * Yes but you still haven’t shown us what exactly was said., By the sound of it, this is just one of those unfortunate conflicts that sometimes happens between a theme and a plugin. The only solution is to delete one of them – plugin or theme – and use another instead. * Thread Starter [thepandarocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepandarocks/) * (@thepandarocks) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-plugin-conflict/#post-3729864) * All of the info you need was provided. If you click the link and view example and click view element it shows exactly what I am referring to but nevermind if you are unable to answer perhaps someone else will have a better answer. Thanks. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-plugin-conflict/#post-3729865) * FWIW, I have 10+ years experience with WordPress – quite a few of them working on these forums. And I can assure you that there is no magic bullet in these situations. Without full details, it is impossible to accurately diagnose and solve such a problem purely based on its symptoms. However, if you feel someone else will be able to provide you with a better answer without those details, then so be it. * Good luck with your site. 🙂 Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Gallery Plugin Conflict?’ is closed to new replies. * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * Last activity: [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-plugin-conflict/#post-3729865) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
