 * To confirm, you are asking for Firelight Pro, not for the free version? If so,
   the moderators at WordPress.org strongly prefer you reach out directly for Pro
   support rather than on the free forums. You can reach us at firelightwp.com/contact
   if you like.
   In any case, Firelight Pro doesn’t currently expose a slideshow 
   speed setting. I assume you are a Pro user and would like to see one? We’ve been
   trying to wait for some settings until we see feature requests so we don’t add
   settings that are not used. You’d be our first request for that for the Pro lightbox.
   It would not be hard to add.

 * Just wanted to follow up and let you know we’ve released this change. Again, 
   for the translations to show, translations for the new strings will need to be
   added via the WordPress translation system (ie, at [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/easy-fancybox/](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/easy-fancybox/))

 * [@onedigitalfarm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onedigitalfarm/) – FYI,
   replied via email as well. What you’re describing is not currently possible, 
   but is a great feature request (it’s possible it could be done via some custom
   JS, but that’s a separate small dev project).
 * You are not the first to ask for some kind of dynamic content in the caption 
   recently, so I think this feature I’ll look into soon.

 * Hi [@michaelxxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelxxx/) – 
   Sorry for
   the delayed response. I don’t *think* anything changed that would affect or produce
   the behavior you are describing, at least not recently – but it’s always possible.
 * I just checked the link to see the behavior. Have you resolved this? From what
   I can tell, it seems to be working – by which I mean none of the gallery images
   seems to be opening in our lightbox, but rather in JIG’s as it sounds like you’d
   expect. 
   If I’m mistaken, let me know and I’ll have a look.

 * Hi [@acekin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acekin/) – It sounds like for
   you, Samsung + Firefox + any of the free lightbox scripts = fails to open the
   image in the lightbox. At least it is consistent. As an update, I’m still planning
   to work on this but as I can’t duplicate the issue via Browserstack, I need to
   go find a real device to test – probably at a mobile store. And I’ll have to 
   try to solve it without being able to duplicate reliably in dev-friendly environment.
   So it may take me a while.
 * Do you have any interest in using the Pro version? It’s a different style of 
   lightbox, as you can see. Given I may not be able to fix this for a while, I 
   may be open to comping you a free version for some time until I can work through
   it. If interested, just reach out via firelightwp.com/contact and reference this
   thread.

 * I wanted to let you know I’ve updated the code to add translatable strings for
   these button tooltips. It will go out in the next release. Once released, keep
   in mind the strings will need to be actually translated into Russian at [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/easy-fancybox/](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/easy-fancybox/)
   before the Russian translations will show. 
   Since I’ve fixed the issue in the
   code (even if not released yet), I’m going to mark the issue resolved. But if
   you still have issues once the next release is out, please do not hesitate to
   follow up.

 * Hi [@acekin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acekin/)! I don’t have a Galaxy
   S22, but just pulled one up via Browserstack for testing. At least in that environment,
   the images do open in the lightbox with Firefox. There is a separate issue: the
   nav arrows do not show in what I think is Fancybox V2 on your site. If I test
   on another site with Fancybox Classic, I do get nav arrows.
 * Browserstack is good for testing, but is not always 100% accurate vs testing 
   on real device.
 * As an extra test, could you confirm if you see the same thing on these page using
   Firefox? I’d just be curious to confirm the issue is consistent for you, and 
   thus a device/browser issue rather than anything specific to your site configuration.

 * It would also be helpful for troubleshooting to know if the issue is limited 
   to V2 for you, or affects all free versions of the Fancybox script.

 * Yes, I just looked at this. The tooltips that appear on mouseover are provided
   by the Fancybox scripts, and are hard coded into the JavaScript. To make them
   translated, we’d need to pass translatable strings to Fancybox, and update the
   Fancybox scripts to use those. Once that’s in place, we’d also need those strings
   to be translated of course.
 * This seems manageable, and I’ll put it on our dev agenda. I’m not quite sure 
   when we’ll get to it, but will follow up here when we do.

 * You have the right idea! You can add an image to the classic editor like normal,
   and set it to link to media file, and it will open in the lightobx. And it is
   working on your site – the image is opening in the lightbox.
   But I do also see
   the ‘double lightbox’ problem on your site. One of them is fancybox – from our
   plugin. The other (I think) is magnific popup. That’s not from our plugin, though.
   It’s likely it is being provided as a lightbox either by the theme, or by another
   gallery / lightbox plugin. You’ll need to figure out what is providing that, 
   and disable it. Whether it is a theme or plugin, it almost certainly has a setting
   to disable the lightbox.

 * Hi thanks for the review! You’ll be happy to know that we have no plans or intent
   to remove the Fancybox Legacy lightbox. 🙂
 * It’s worth noting the ‘legacy’ version (1.3.28) was released in July 2011 – 14
   years argo. It’s amazing that it continues to work. But given its age, there 
   may come a point where it just starts breaking in ways that aren’t easy to fix.
   If it ever gets removed, it would be for that reason.
 * Given it is there and working, with no intent to remove, it would great if you
   could bump to 5.0. If we ever remove it, you can bump us back down, and we’ll
   understand. 🙂
 * Apart from all that, it’s good of you to come here and post about it. Hearing
   that people still use and appreciate will encourage us to to keep it and continue
   fixing issues as they arise.

 * [@intowernet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intowernet/) – This is the 
   first I’ve heard of the issue. Without a lot of troubleshooting, it’s hard to
   determine whether the conflict arises from us or them, or no one – just a conflict.
 * I will say I’ve bumped into conflicts with optimization plugins a few times. 
   They re-compile, re-minimify, and combine our JS files with other plugins or 
   core files. Doing so can often interfere, for example, with the order in which
   scripts load.
 * That said, usually when this happens, functionality breaks immediately. In your
   case, it sounds like some functionality works for some number of images and then
   suddenly stops.
 * In any case, one way you can often work around this is just to exclude our scripts
   from Autooptimize. They have documentation for doing this on their WordPress.
   org page [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#how%20does%20%22exclude%20from%20optimizing%22%20work%3F).
   Is that something you’ve tried?

 * This was a small quick change, and it’s security related. Given that, I decided
   to just go ahead and make the change. I just pushed version 2.3.12 with the version
   3.2.5 of dom purify. Thanks again!
