I also didn&#8217;t need to edit PHP files unlike with Simple Lightbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One caveat though: both plugins don&#8217;t seem to play well with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for any preset above Essential. I wager its because of the QUIC.cloud connection&#8230; while I have encountered minimal problems with Jetpack and Simple Lightbox even with QUIC.cloud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18944300","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18944300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18944300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18944312,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18944300\/revisions\/18944312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18944300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
