* Hi there, I need to set mla_link_attributes but when I put it on shortcode it
takes no effect to my source code, the same happens with mla_target.
* `[mla_gallery post_mime_type=all attachment_category="selecao" post_parent=all
size=icon link=file mla_target="_blank" columns="1" mla_link_attributes='rel="
nobox"' mla_caption="{+file_name+}" orderby=mime_type mla_float=left mla_image_attributes
='width="22" height="22"']`
* I use rel=”nobox” just to disable Lightbox, cause when I click on link, Lightbox
tries to show up the file (it is a PDF), but an error appears “Image cannot be
loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist.”.
If I could disable
Lightbox, PDF would be opened into another tab on browser’s built-in PDF reader.
* Can you help me?
* Sorry my poor English.

* Thanks for your question, and for taking the time to include the full source
text of your `[mla_gallery]` shortcode. Your English is fine.
* I entered your shortcode in my test system, changing the `attachment_catrgory`
to a value that works for me. All of the other parameters are exactly as you
have them.
* Here is the HTML source for an item in the gallery:
* ```
```
* As you can see, the `target="_blank"`, `rel="nobox"` `width="22"` and ‘height
=”22″` attributes are all present in the right places. As far as I can tell,
MLA is working as it should.
* You do not say which Lightbox plugin you are using, so I cannot tell you if there
is some other reason this shortcode is not working on your system. I have used“
[Easy Fancybox](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-fancybox/)” and “[WP jQuery Lightbox](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-jquery-lightbox/)“,
among others with good results.
* If you can tell me which plugin you are using I might be able to try it and see
what happens. If your site is accessible on the internet, could you post a link
to the gallery so I can see the HTML source code?
* I will leave this topic unresolved for now. Please note that I am traveling from
April 2 until April 13 and may not be able to respond until my return. Thanks
for your patience and your interest in the plugin.

* Thank you for your answer.
* I use Lightbox that comes with Avada theme.
* Certainly there is an incompatibility between MLA and Avada. 🙁
* Item gallery’s HTML code:
* ```
```
* Thanks!

* Thank you for your update. I agree, it looks like Avadais somehow modifying the
links in the gallery.
* Avada is a premium theme, and I cannot afford to purchase premium themes and
plugins to provide MLA support. I suggest you take this issue up with the vendor.
If they provide me with a copy of the theme for testing purposes I can investigate
further.
* For now, I am marking this topic resolved because MLA is working properly. Please
update the topic if you have more information, questions or another way I can
help resolve the conflict. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
