    Hi,

    We are using the mwl_img_title filter to modify the Lightbox image caption in order to make it a link to data related to the image. Now it seems that the HTML tags are no longer interpreted and are displayed “as is”. This occurs with all galleries, included galleries built before the latest Meow Lightbox updates.

    Jordy,

    I may have misunderstood your last message.

    This is not the Meow Lightbox

    Does this mean that it’s not Meow Lightbox’s fault or do you mean that this is not Meow Lightbox that is running ? I insist : no problem when returning to version 3, problem re-appearing immediately when installing version 4 (all caches cleared after each installation).

    Jordy,

    We need to switch back to version 3. With version 4 the problem is still as shown by the screen capture posted above. Maybe there’s a conflict with something else that doesn’t appear with version 3. I doubt. WordPress, Astra and Elementor are up-to-date and I don’t see what plugin could conflict with Meow Lightbox.

    Hi Jordy,

    I’m surprised to not get any answer to my questions. Our host service usually asks us, for the sake of security, to update our plugins as soon as new releases appear. In this case, we can’t until the problem is fixed or until we drop the use of the mwl_img_title filter.

    The Meow Gallery is still working well even when version 4 of Meow Lightbox is installed. Maybe version 4 has a compatibility issue with another plugin that we are using but I don’t see which one could interfere. Since version 3 is still working well, I suspect that there’s a change in v4 that causes the problem. On our side, nothing has changed between v3 and v4. The problem appears to be clearly located : in v3, the HTML code embedded in the title returned by the mwl_img_title filter is correctly interpreted. In v4 it is not.

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hi @samoreen,

    I basically reply when it’s done (or when I can’t do it), this is why ?? I get a lot of messages and I try to organize my tasks and replies.

    The latest release should have fixed it.

    Version 4.05 installed. Problem not fixed. Back again to 3.2.2.

    I have exactly this same problem. I’ve found you can add HTML to the mwl_img_caption ONLY – all the other fields don’t show it. I’ve tried.

    Problem is – the caption has a toggle box so you get this: https://imgur.com/a/BVb1KCu which is far from great!

    (P.S. don’t know why Imgur thinks my drawing of a street is erotic/X-rated, but anyway…it’s not!)

    The latest release of version 5 still has the problem of not interpreting HTML code inserted into the image Title via the mwl_img_title filter.

    Hi Jordy,

    Have you tried with the latest version released recently?

    Both Meow Gallery and Meow Lightbox are up-to-date (version 5.01). I tested yesterday.

    If you or someone else could make a quick test of the mwl_img_title filter by inserting simple HTML code in the title, this could help determine whether the problem is actually with this filter or with something else in the WordPress setup. However, it seems that I’m not alone with this issue.

    Thanks.

    I made the following simple test :

    function my_filter_title( $title, $id, $meta ) {
    return ‘<i>’ . $title . ‘</i>’;
    }

    Even this doesn’t work. The displayed title under the photo is

    <i>Title</i>

    Hi Jordy,

    Problem fixed. But beware, the version number in the product’s page is still 5.01. The zip file name indicates 5.02 but no automatic update occurs. I noticed the update by looking at the last updated field in the plugin page. So, I downloaded the zip file and overwrote version 5.01.

    Thanks.

    meow-lightbox.php has the wrong version number.
