Hi,
you’re right, if the images are all on the page when they are loaded and all of them have the same CSS class “colorbox-123”, all of them should be loaded in a slideshow.
Can you post a link to your site?
Cheers,

Hi,
I have a somewhat similar problem. What I want to do is open a gallery from another post using just a link and get the gallery to work as if it’s on the same page.
I solved it for singular images (following is a non existing example):
<a href="http://www.whatever.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/imagename.jpg" class="colorbox-link colorbox-7933">Test</a>
This would open a colorbox with a image over present page nicely.
Is there any way to do this, but getting a full gallery (as slideshow) instead?
Is there any way to link to the gallery with its ID perhaps?
Thanks for any help solving this!

Hi,
there were similar posts in the past…
Colorbox can only show images in a slideshow if the images are included on the site.
In the previous posts people opted to hide all but the first image using CSS.

Hi Arne,
Thanks for your reply – the images are on the same site, URL and WP installation, but in another post. The reason for my request is that I have posts with lots of information and want to show a gallery without having to include the images on the same page. I’d like to be able show a gallery Colorbox style on several other posts by opening with just a link.
Maybe the hiding with CSS trick you mentioned is the only option – but it would be so neat to be able to do what I describe without those kind of “tricks”. (I hesitate doing those both because of it being a bit of a hassle plus it might affect your Google rank with those kind of tricks hiding content.)
Cheers,
Lars
Hi,
um, yeah, I actually meant post or page and not site.
Cheers,
