    It stopped working with newer versions of wp. It seems that the author no longer maintains it and it should be removed from the repository.

  • Sorry to hear it doesn’t work for you. The plugin has never stopped working on my sites though, either live ones or local test sites.

    Unless you need a responsive lightbox, there’s currently nothing wrong with the plugin, technically. If you do there are of course many newer alternatives. Fancybox 1.x is an aging lightbox implementation, replaced some time ago by a completely rewritten Fancybox 2, under a different license (reason why I didn’t update my plugin to it).

    Fancybox for WP, like many other jQuery dependent plugins will break on sites where jQuery is being poorly re-registered, missing jquery-migrate (which WordPress takes care of by default), or in cases where something else (either theme or plugin) breaks jQuery.

    Go to Fancybox settings -> Miscellaneous, and check “Load JavaScript in Footer”. Still works very well for me (WP version 4.5).
