Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # WordPress and Lightbox – HELP! * [taschablair](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taschablair/) * (@taschablair) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-lightbox-help/) * Hey, I’m trying to integrate Lightbox into one of my pages, but I’m following [these](http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/#how) instructions literally and it’s definitely not working at ALL. * Has anyone done this and can take me through it???? * [Here](http://www.createitdesignit.com) is the site I’m working with. * Thanks!

I tried a ton of things, an no dice… very confounded. * So the css file should be under the Jacascript files, next to each other? * Tascha * [breakingball](https://wordpress.org/support/users/breakingball/) * (@breakingball) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-lightbox-help/#post-561185) * It’s fine if they’re next to each other, but you will have to add an absolute path to the CSS file in your markup (see my post above) for this plugin to work. * You will also have to go into the CSS file and the lightbox.js file to add the path to the .gif files mentioned in Item 3 of the linked instructions. * [breakingball](https://wordpress.org/support/users/breakingball/) * (@breakingball) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-lightbox-help/#post-561192) * I see you’ve moved the javascript files where they belong, but you need to add the path to those files as well, e.g., * ** * in each of the three files you initially added to your header. * Thread Starter [taschablair](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taschablair/) * (@taschablair) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-lightbox-help/#post-561203) * Oh, I see what you are doing… got it. I added the address to the three Javascript files, and to the css one. Perfect! * Still though… this talk of plugins, do I need to download it somewhere, or should this still work? (it doesn’t yet, something else is wrong) * Tascha * [breakingball](https://wordpress.org/support/users/breakingball/) * (@breakingball) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-lightbox-help/#post-561210) * _something else is wrong_ * I don’t see any images, so it’s hard to say. * Add images to your posts like this: * ```
