 * I have a problem with Lightbox used on my Hueman theme. Everything is fine except
   the screenshots of the apps: in the post pages I can modify the width and the
   height, but when I click on them, they appear vertically stretched.
    There is
   known conflicts with some other plugin or I need to modify some lightbox setting?

 * If you go to the App Store Assistant Settings, Click on General then Miscellaneous,
   uncheck the check box for LightBox. That will then use the version you already
   have loaded.

 * I already tried this unthick the option but, when I save the settings and the
   page reloads, the option is still thicked.
    I found a way to resolve the stretched
   image on overlay: I changed the width of .lb-outerContainer class on lightbox
   css (changed to 800px) and now it works. But there are two other problems: – 
   the plugin has a conflict with wordpress since the edit bar (and all the buttons
   on visual mode) on post/pages disappear. – on image overlay mode, when I move
   the cursor from left to right (and viceversa) the left and right arrow are repeated
   vertically and horizontally covering almost half the image for 1-2 seconds: I
   don’t see only one left arrow and one right arrow, but just for some seconds 
   I see many arrows repeated.

 * If you change themes, do you see the same issues?
 * I’ll try and find the theme and install on my test site to see if I can find 
   the conflict.

 * I have installed the theme and am not seeing the same issues. You can view it
   here <[http://sandbox.sealsystems.net/asa&gt](http://sandbox.sealsystems.net/asa&gt);
 * I do see the issue where the checkbox for Lightbox won’t stay unchecked. I’ll
   get that fixed asap.
 * Perhaps it is another plug-in. What other plug-ins do you have?

 * I tried with other themes and everything works fine: I have no problems with 
   the image size and the arrows (I see only one left and one right).
    In the hueman
   theme, i correct width and height of lb-outerContainer class in lightbox.css 
   to auto and now I can see the images in the correct sizes. I am trying to modify
   the css following the settings I found on [https://github.com/lokesh/lightbox2/pull/33/files#diff-a7c9a82c35b279523018350cf96dfc42R94](https://github.com/lokesh/lightbox2/pull/33/files#diff-a7c9a82c35b279523018350cf96dfc42R94)
   to see if I can correct the arrows duplication.

 * In the mean time, if you replace the first line in the file <wp-content/plugins/
   app-store-assistant/includes/options_pages/options_general_miscellaneous.php>
   with below it will fix the checkbox issue:
 * `<input type="hidden" name="appStore_options[checkboxedoptions]" value="open_links_externally,
   rss_showIcon,rss_showShortDescription,enable_lightbox" />`

 * I saw the [http://sandbox.sealsystems.net/asa](http://sandbox.sealsystems.net/asa)
   and I’m still seeing the images strechted when you click on them.
    These are 
   my installed plugins on my local wordpress installation (the site is still under
   construction): – Broken Link Checker v1.9.2 – Contact Form 7 v3.7 – Light – Responsive
   LightBox v1.1 (disabled but requested by the theme) – My Page Order v3.3.2 – 
   Regenerate Thumbnails v2.2.4 – TinyMCE and TinyMCE Advanced Professsional Formats
   and Styles v1.1.1 – Transposh Translation fFlter v0.9.5 – WordPress SEO v1.4.24–
   WP-PageNavi v2.85 – WP Maintenance Mode v1.8.11
 * and other disabled plugins I’m not using using.
    I also tried to disable all 
   the plugins, but the problems remains. So I think it’s the Hueman theme has conflict
   with the plugin.

 * I think I solved the problems: in the lightbox css I modified these classes:
 * Images width&height:
 * .lb-outerContainer {
    position: relative; background-color: white; *zoom: 1; 
   width: auto; height: auto; margin: 0 auto; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-
   radius: 4px; -ms-border-radius: 4px; -o-border-radius: 4px; border-radius: 4px;}
 * duplicated arrows:
 * .lb-prev {
    left: 0; float: left; background: url(../img/prev.png) left 48% no-
   repeat; opacity:0; } .lb-prev:hover { opacity:1; }
 * .lb-next {
    right: 0; float: right; background: url(../img/next.png) right 48%
   no-repeat; opacity:0; } .lb-next:hover { opacity: 1; }
 * So, now when I click on the image, I don’t see the arrows. But when I move the
   mouse on the right or on the left side of the image, the arrow appears.
 * I tested both on Chrome and Firefox and everything works! I hope these settings
   could be useful for you or for others could have similar problems.
 * p.s.
    Now the lightbox check works!

 * I also changed the width to 48% in this class
 * .lb-prev, .lb-next {
    width: 48%; height: 100%; cursor: pointer; /* Trick IE 
   into showing hover */ display: block; }
 * because the right arrow was sliding 1-2 pixel on the right when the mouse hover:
   now it remains fixed (as the left one).

 * Thanks, i will see if I can make these changes and not affect other themes. It
   might be an issue with future upgrades to Lightbox, but we’ll see.
