 * Hello!
 * Whatever option I use with link of the potd it always links to a file. No other
   option works.
   I use latest version.Shortcode: [wppa type=”photo” photo=”#potd”
   widget=”potd”]“Random Picture”
 * Any hints anyone?

 * Set the linktype in Basic settings -> Links -> II -> Item 3: Sphoto Single photo
   link.
    You need to specify a page where the result must be displayed; this page
   needs a wppa shortcode; if it is not the same page where the shortcode is on,
   use [wppa type=”landing”]. The first wppa shortcode on the target page will be
   used.

 * At the moment I have set:
   Links -> II -> 3: LightboxLinks -> III -> 1: Lightbox
 * When lightbox is chosen it won’t let me choose the landing page obviously.
 * When image on the page with POTD shortcode is clicked is reloads the page. After
   the reload a new image is showed and then if clicked it is OK.

 * Links -> III -> 1 works only when you use the wppa widget. Setting widget=”potd”
   in the shortcode has only effect for the wppa interal caching but not for the
   links.
    Can you supply me a link to the page so i can see the behaviour you described?

 * “**Losowe zdjęcie z galerii**“
 * or you can just inspect the page and look for “wppa-container-wrapper”.

 * It looks like a conflict with another active plugin that can do lightbox like
   actions.
    If you can disable that feature, try it.

 * The first picture you see a second is from wppa lightbox.
    The final picture 
   you see is not from wppa. It has ‘lg’ in its names in the html; probabaly a shorthand
   for a plugin name, like wppa stands for **wp**–**p**hoto-**a**lbium-plus
 * Does this ring a bell?
 * Pls give me a list of all your ative plugins

 * No it does not ring a bell. I have a lot of plugin, maybe there is something 
   wrong. However to make it work OK, but in a different way I wanted to change 
   the behaviour of a link of POTD to a “picture itsefl” on a landing page, but 
   it is still a “lightbox”.
 * I changed it on the LINK potd link settings. The single photo is still lightbox,
   since i want the gallery photos to work in a lightbox, and the potd on a landing
   page.

 * Your shortcode says: **type=”photo”**. This means the links are the links for
   a single photo, i.e. set in **Basic settings -> Links -> II -> Item 3**: Sphoto
   Single photo link.
 * In Links -> III the links are configured for the Widgets, so if you want that,
   you should not use the shortcode, but the **classic** potd widget.

 * OK, I get it, however the classic widget does not look nice on my website, take
   a look.

 * Yes, i have seen that
    On a second thought, i understand your confusion, so i
   will make the following change in the next version:
 * Using the block widget for the potd (or the shortcode [wppa type=”photo” photo
   =”potd” widget=”potd”]) will use the image link as specified by the potd settings.

 * If you update to todays release version 8.8.06.010 you can use the block potd
   widget version; it will use the link as defined on the photo of the day settigs
   page.
