Lightbox plugin not opening comic in lightbox

    I am having trouble getting any lightbox working with comic easel. I’m wondering if I don’t have a setting right in comic easel or if I’m missing something in the lightbox plugin. I’ve tried multiple different ones with the same result. All that happens is the image opens up in a new tab/window.

    The lightbox I currently have installed is WP Lightbox 2. I’ve tried WP Lightbox 2, wp-jquery-lightbox, Lightbox Plus ColorBox, and Simple Lightbox. In truth, the one I think I’d prefer to use is WP Lightbox 2 but I’ll take any recommendations if it will get a lightbox working.

    I am also using a custom child theme to comicpress.

    So, I have “Open comic up with Lightbox?” check marked, but no other options within “Misc. Comic Functionality”.

    In WP Lightbox 2, I have Auto-lightbox image links, and Shrink large images to fit smaller screens chekcmarked. I dont see any options that id think would cause the hook into comic easel/comicpress.

    Here is an example

    any help is appreciated.

    So, I have been monitoring this thread and all your posts here, but since I didn’t really have anything more to contribute I’ve been quiet. It’s nice to see you’re still looking into it, thank you ??

    I wanted to let you know though that I am still receiving the issue. I am still using Comic Press/Comic Easel and it still is giving me the error. I have WP Lightbox 2 and a few other plugins installed (listed below, though they wouldn’t be causing the error because I got it without those installed before my site went live.)

    The only custom stuff I have done is CSS in a child theme. You can view my site here:

    You’ll actually see a page using the lightbox option here:

    Don’t know if anything there will help. If you need any more information let me know… I’ll provide what I can.

    @wandering, in your case it could be different… go to the comicpress options and disable the option for dropdown mainmenu jquery .. you’re not using it; it shouldn’t be running

    once you do that, tell me so I can look again

    It worked! Thank you! I had no clue that option would affect this, so I didn’t even bother changing it.
