 * Hello,
 * I looked all over the forums and did not find any resolution to my problem with
   Lightbox2. My problem is that Lightbox2 wont work on my home page, which is a
   static page. But, it works on all single post and non-static pages. In my Lightbox2
   settings, I have all the sections checked ON.
 * I checked the code between the <head></head> tags for the static and non-static
   pages. They’re different.
 * **For the static pages, the head is as follows**
 *     ```
       <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
   
       <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
   
       <title> World Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation</title>
   
       <link media="screen" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/wbff-wordpress/wp-content/themes/wbff/style.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
       <link href="http://localhost/wbff-wordpress/feed" title="World Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness Federation RSS Feed" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"/>
       <link href="http://localhost/wbff-wordpress/feed/atom" title="World Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness Federation Atom Feed" type="application/atom+xml" rel="alternate"/>
       <link href="http://localhost/wbff-wordpress/xmlrpc.php" rel="pingback"/>
   
       <meta content="noindex,nofollow" name="robots"/>
       <link media="screen" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/wbff-wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css/Black_Minimalism.css?ver=1.0.0" rel="stylesheet"/>

       <meta content="WordPress 2.7.1" name="generator"/>
   
       <style type="text/css" media="screen">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style></head>
       ```
   
 * **The non-static pages**
 *     ```
       <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
   
       <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>

       <style type="text/css" media="screen">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style></head>
       ```
   
 * I can see why Lightbox2 isn’t working. But, why aren’t the javascript files being
   linked in the head inside of the static pages?

 * Hmm! I deactivated Lightbox2 and installed the Slimbox plugin. It magically fixed
   the problem. o_O
