Big problems after plugin install, not sure what's up

So you’ve just rolled out an update to 0.4.9? Great I will give it a try now and get back to you! Thank you for the update!

Yes, I hope it will help you to load album pages fast.

I look at your page. You have fancybox script integrated in your Lucid theme.

https://zumbawithsue.com/wp-content/themes/Lucid/epanel/page_templates/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css?ver=1.3.4

The version of this script is outdated and have several issues that was fixed already. Facebook photo album images will not be open with this version of the script. The only way is to use inbuilt Fancybox or install any other updated Fancybox script.

Hi Dev ram108,

Thank you again for the response! I went ahead with the update — major improvement on page load time, great!

However, still having the lightbox error/conflict throughout site and very apparent on my home page — so I have disabled the lightbox option.

The problem with that, though, is to compensate for the inability of user to preview medium or large images properly, you must blow up images larger so you can see them, since that’s all you’re getting. It also renders the awesome circle thumbnails inappropriate for many photos (which is a shame because that option is great!) because the circle abstracts the photo too much, and there is no way to view the photo large. Then also there is now the substantial issue of no purpose for thumbnail hover effect or pointer cursor. So I can try to disable or override those effects, if there’s no purpose for the hover/no hyperlink no lightbox or image preview. Am I explaining clearly? Right now, if you have the Lightbox popup disabled, there is no purpose for thumbnail hover effect or pointer cursor. So I can try to disable or override those effects, perhaps, but might be nice as an included option?

Also, I’m thinking the lightbox popup conflict is important because most Woo Themes, Elegant Themes, etc. utilize featured image sliders built in very similar ways, so is there a likelihood this conflict would come up on many popular paid themes?

Here’s a screenshot of what happens with conflict in case that helps : Screenshot

You can compare with properly functioning home page, here : Correct

Oh Hello, we were writing at the same time!

So you are saying that my theme from Elegant Themes is a using deprecated Lightbox?

Yes, they use 2010 year version with a lot of issues.

This version is not developed anymore, but it was released many fixes to Fancybox script since 2010.

Here is the link to the issue that you are getting on your site with old Fancybox script: https://github.com/nvidoni/fancybox/issues/3

Great! Thank you ram108 for the help! I am seeing clearly now that this is not likely an issue with your plugin and have opened a ticket with Elegant Themes alerting them to what you have shown me.

I look forward to their response and getting the theme updated properly as it should be. In that event, I much look forward to testing the FB Album plugin & seeing everything function correctly. There is a huge need for your plugin & it’s specific function with FB photos, and I believe that it could take off for you and become widely used!

Thank you again for the help! Would you like me to post ET’s reply when it comes in? If not, I’d say this thread is resolved and you have offered excellent support ?? ??

Just give them above link to github.com. It is very easy to fix this issue.

@waxlily did you get support from ET? What did they say? We are having a similar problem to solve..
