Auto-Lightbox issue with WordPress 4.4

I also observed that wordpress 4.4 adds the rel-Attribute as Bert said.

My work around was to use a wordpress filter described in a 2013 thread on stackexchange.com https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/88984/remove-rel-attachment-wp-att-xx

I used a filter as follows which still works on wordpress 4.4 and since it removes the rel-link, wp-jquery-lightbox works if it’s option “Auto-lightbox image links” is checked.

add_filter('image_send_to_editor', 'wpse_88984_remove_rel', 10, 2);
function wpse_88984_remove_rel($html, $id) {
    if($id>0)
        $html=str_replace('rel="attachment wp-att-'.$id.'"','',$html);

    return $html;
}
