# Lightbox option not working

 * Hi,
 * I’m using 2.2.3 of your plugin which on the whole works great. However, my only
   problem is the ‘open full-size image in lightbox’ isn’t working. I’m using two
   views on a [site](http://realmeplan.co.uk), one on the front page set to Slideshow,
   and the other on the testimonials page set to Display. If I set the lightbox 
   option on, in either view, the thumbnails simply clicks through on both Chrome
   and IE to the full size image’s source url, taking me away from the page I was
   on. The image and lightbox options are currently set to on for the testimonials
   page.
 * Any assistance would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for pointing this out.
 * You will need to install a lightbox plugin. Try [Simple Colorbox](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-colorbox/).
 * I did not include a lightbox in the plugin to avoid the risk of conflict with
   some themes that include a lightbox.
 * I apologize for not mentioning this in the plugin itself. I will fix that in 
   the next update.
 * Chris

 * Hi Chris,
 * Thanks for the response, and just a thought, why don’t you simply use the default
   WordPress image class “wpimgload”, which auto adds a lightbox function to any
   image usually inserted in a post or page?

 * I’m not aware of such a class. I do not find it in the core code or the Codex.
   Perhaps that is part of a plugin or theme?
