Cannot close Lightbox

You seem to have a second lightbox plugin (“Responsive Lightbox LightGallery”?) that seems to be throwing a JavaScript error on that page. I am not sure if the error is preventing the closure, of if the fact that you have a second lightbox is interfering with the functionality of Photonic.

Yes, I suspected that maybe the case, it’s strange as no plugs have been updated recently and the issue wasn’t there before it also doesn’t seem to happen on all pages/posts. Weird, I’ll start by disabling the 2nd plug in and take it from there.

Yes, you were correct. I have disabled the other plugin and it seems to have fixed that.

Problem now is that my images hosted on the webserver don’t open up in the Lightgallery box.

I have seen this option which I have selected;

Photonic Lightbox for non-Photonic Images
Selecting this will let you use Photonic’s lightbox for non-Photonic images. This eliminates the need for a separate lightbox plugin.

I assume that the plugin monitors for image links and send them to the selected Lightbox.

I have, however, found a very odd situation.

If you click the photo directly in the blog post, it opens up in the default, terrible, WordPress lightbox.

For example, on this page

However, if you click the image from the Blog Listing page, it opens up in the Lightgallery lightbox from Photonic

For example, the same blog post in the blog listing

You will also need to activate the option “Include Photonic JS for non-Photonic Images / Videos”, right under the option you have cited.

I also need to open my eyes…….. ??

Again, many thanks. I will be “Buying you a Coffee” for all the fantastic work and help.

Great! I am marking this resolved.
