 * I’m using the Responsive Lightbox to replase wordpress own lightbox. But while
   the Responsive Lightbox comes up, wordpress own lightbox is still popping up 
   in the back so when I exit the Responsive Lightbox the wordpress one is still
   up.
 * How can I disable wordpress lightbox?

 * WordPress doesn’t have a native lightbox. Your other lightbox functionality must
   be coming from the theme or another plugin.

 * That’s not true.
 * Check wp-includes/js/thickbox/

 * Never seen any WP theme or even HTML template using Thickbox.
 * But thanks for recalling this, I almost forgot it was used by WordPress at all(
   only in admin however).

 * You’re right its old school but WordPress keeps it there.
 * The fact is that I came over a plugin that makes use of it.
 * This plugin has on its code rel=”thickbox” which triggers WP builtin lightbox.
 * I can disable from the plugin the rel attribute, but can’t make Responsive Lightbox
   display these plugin’s images.

 * Maybe this plugin has a builtin filter that would allow you to modify the rel
   attribute?
 * Or maybe this is a different type of issue?
 * Can you post a link to your site?
