 * I don’t think I did anything to cause this, but Shadowbox just stopped working
   on my portfolio site: [http://www.amandamarie.info/portfolio/illustration/](http://www.amandamarie.info/portfolio/illustration/)
 * It was working before, and works no more!
 * Any ideas?

 * I have the same problem, was working this morning, now no more. I have the proper
   rel=shadowbox inserted in the html, and I checked the above forum’s possible 
   fix, but that tag is in fact in my footer.php. Hoping for someone to shed some
   light on why suddenly it would stop working.

 * [@gladlotus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gladlotus/): Without a link 
   to your site it will be difficult to diagnose. Please provide a link to your 
   site, preferably to a post or page that is not working correctly.

 * oy- i bn trying to figure a way to load the FlashVars so that i have a unique
   image viewed with posts containing links to music files loaded by Shadowbox –
   never to any avail as im not a programmer, just a front end guy – but this time
   around i messed things up somehow. i wrote a custom field containing a Javascript
   snippet to load the flashvars for the JWPlayer in a post:
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript'>
       var s1 = s1.addParam('flashvars','image=http://purekreation.com/wp-content/uploads/6hnksn.gif');
       s1.write('preview');
       </script>
       ```
   
 * needless to say it didnt work but now the Shadowbox plugin has ceased to function
   at all:
    [purekreation.com/](http://purekreation.com/)
 * any thoughts?

 * ok so i exported the SQL from my wp_posts table and started with a fresh database,
   imported old posts and all seems back in order, but i’d still like to know how/
   why that Javascript insertion mucked things up if you have any clues..

 * The Shadowbox JS plugin under the advanced settings on the settings page has 
   a field for entering custom flashvars.
