    I did change my old lightbox to simple lightbox some time ago. The old one didn’t work good and was not updated for 5 years. However, out of the frying pan into the fire: Simple lightbox works all other pages on my site except in the gallery where is the most needed. To be more accurate it does not work on when opening individual pictures in the gallery. It just opens the picture directly, not in a lightbox as wished. I have no idea why it is working like this. The gallery is custom made by using CPT UI, relevanssi, Advanced custom fields.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, the link you provided does not appear to load. Please double-check the URL and post an update with a working link and I would be glad to take another look.

    Note: the most common cause when the lightbox doesn’t display for a specific post type (especially a custom-created post type) is that the template used to display the content for that post type does not meet SLB’s requirements.

    If you can provide more details on the theme template used to display the custom post type, including the template’s code, I would be glad to take a look.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I tested the link, it works fine. Here is also to another link to the gallery main view. This link works. Just click a thumbnail to access the individual gallery picture to test the plugin.

    I have the latest version of WP. jQuery library should also be as it comes with WP (I have never done a thing for this). PHP is 7.3.21 and MySQL is 5.7.31. With phpinfo I found: cURL support enabled and cURL Information 7.72.0.

    Sorry, but I don’t know how to check if cURL is eneabled for local requests. As well with the theme files I’m not sure how to proceed. I’m using a child theme for a Catch Responsive.

    Hi, the issue is likely due to the theme template used for the custom post type. It may be missing standard template tags that prevent SLB from displaying the links on those pages in a lightbox.

    This may be caused by the plugin used to create the CPT, or it could be related to the theme template used to display posts of this type.

    Please provide the following for further review:

    • A link to the specific plugin used to create the CPT
    • A link to the specific theme you are using
    • A link to the specific child theme you are using
    • A screenshot of SLB’s options page

    Hi,

    CPT: https://fi.www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
    Theme: https://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-responsive/
    Child theme is totally by myself, no link to that unless if login as an admin.
    A plugin used in the custom post page: https://searchandfilter.com/ and https://fi.www.ads-software.com/plugins/relevanssi/

    Gallery template code:

    <?php
    /**
     * Template Name: Harmonikkagalleria

    get_header(); ?>
    
    <?php
    $harmonikkatyypit_terms = get_terms( 'harmonikkatyypit' );
    ?>
    
    <?php
    foreach ( $harmonikkatyypit_terms as $harmonikkatyypit_term ) {
        $harmonikkatyypit_query = new WP_Query( array(
            'post_type' => 'harmonikka',
            'tax_query' => array(

    Thank you for the additional details.

    The cause is as noted in my first reply above: the template used to display the content for that post type does not meet SLB’s theme requirements.

    Specifically, the template does not use the the_content() template tag to output its content.

    When using the_content() is not possible, you can use slb_activate() to activate links in custom content areas. See SLB’s documentation for more details on using slb_activate().

    If you are still experiencing an issue after updating your custom template to activate the links, please provide the update template code and an updated link, and I would be glad to reopen this ticket and take another look.
