Hmm… as for the images not showing up, it could be an installation issue and I would try reinstalling or downloading and manually uploading the files.
Usually if WP-Flybox is conflicting with other plugins it is because WP-Flybox uses an older version of jquery. You can disable WP-Flybox’s jquery and just use one on another plugin. To do that go to the bottom of the WP-Flybox Settings and you will see an option to disable it.
Please try reinstalling or manually installing and disabling WP-Flybox’s jquery and let me know if you get any better results!
Thanks!

I have tried with jquery both on and off. Right now it is off.
OK Did you try reinstalling WP-FlyBox? Is WP-Flybox plugin enabled and turned on right now?

that means load query is set to “on” right now.
I found a couple problems.
1. In that theme there is an option to hide the full footer. If you go to theme options then footer you can disable it. WP-Flybox and most page plugins attach to the bottom of the page where the footer is. Since the footer is hidden, the plugins dont show up. Try unhiding the footer and it should show the plugins.
2. However. None of the plugins images are showing. When I try to view them it tells me that I do not have the correct credentials access to them. There must be something in your htaccess or server configuration to disable direct access to your wp-content folder. Since the images do not show you cannot really see the tabs on the right side of the screen, but if you hover your mouse over there, then it will slide out.
Let me know if you are able to atleast slide the plugin out after unhiding the footer. If you cannot figure out what server configuration is messing it up, I can walk you through how to reference the image off of your server where there is no server errors.

OK, I un hid the footer now I get the sliding images. We are half-way there!
WP-FlyBox folder inside plugins folder is set to 766 and everything inside WP-FlyBox plugins folder is also 766.
I still cannot see the images for the WP-Flybox plugin.

gives me a 403 permission error. Do you have any kind of security or caching plugin installed?

It was a one-click install of WP and automatically added caching as a “drop in” type plugin. This wreaked havoc. I FTPd in and changed the name of the cache.php files to php.old and changed the name of the cache plugin folders in an effort to disable without deleting. Active plugins are

What is correct permission for /wp-content/plugins/wp-flybox/
and /wp-content/plugins/wp-flybox/static/
644 or anything higher will work for the permissions. Can you copy and paste your .htaccess file contents from http://trebolcleaning.com. I think something there may still have the caching half way enabled.

I cannot open it, download it or duplicate it via FTP!
That means you don’t have full privileges. Here is a workaround:
1. Save WP-Flybox plugin to your computer.
2. Unzip it and find static/FlyBoxSpriteRight.png
3. Go back to wordpress admin and then to media and upload this image as a new wordpress media file.
4. Once uploaded go to edit the media file and on the right side will be a form box labeled File URL. Copy that file URL.
5. In wordpress admin go to plugins>editor
6. At top right choose wp-flybox and click select
7. Under plugin files look for wp-flybox/includes/facebook.php (it’s like 10 down on mine)
8. Find where it says:
background-image:url(\''.WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/wp-flybox/static/FlyBoxSpriteRight.png\')
9. Change it to:
background-image:url(\'PASTE_YOUR_COPIED_MEDIA_FILE_URL_HERE\')
so it will look something like:
background-image:url(\'http://trebolcleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/FlyBoxSpriteRight.png\')
10. Click update file at the bottom
11. Repeat steps 7-10 but for wp-flybox/includes/twitter.php
12. Repeat steps 7-10 for whichever other tabs you are using. The media file will be the same for all tabs.
Let me know if this works. I believe your “one-button” install wasn’t very good and limited access to a few files, and cascaded to your cache plugin and now it has affected the other plugins as well.

Bingo! we have a Facebook tab active. Great job at diagnostics…
Great! Now try it for twitter (you do not need to upload the media file again… use the same one)

And now the plugins editor will not allow me to update … I’m thinking there is some kind of cache still working on this.
So I am going to open my local copy of wp-flybox, make the changes for Flyboxspriteright URL in the php files. Then I will ZIP the entire flybox folder and install as a new plugin from upload.
