Dear informdev,
Please be kindly informed that in the Pro version of the plugin we have an Image Behaviour > Natural option which will fix the issue of distorted images. In the Free version of the plugin, it is necessary to adjust the size of the image to the thumbnail like you have already mentioned.
What refers to turning off the lightbox, then you need to apply the changes in two different files
1) in the following file
wp-content\plugins\portfolio-gallery\templates\front-end\view\toggle-up-down\toggle_up_down-view.php
Line 111
please find this part of the code:
https://prntscr.com/hmx2ou
and replace it with the codes below:
https://prntscr.com/hmx99p
2) in the following file
wp-content\plugins\portfolio-gallery\assets\js\view-toggle-up-down.js
Line 103
please find this part of codes
https://prntscr.com/hmx346
add
_this.dropdownable.on(‘click’, _this.openLink); to the space mentioned with an arrow (line 103)
and finally write
_this.openLink = function () {
var url = jQuery(this).find(“.image-block a”).attr(“href”);
if (url) {
window.open(url);
}
}
after the
109 };
3) Update the file with the applied changes.
Good Luck!
Hope you will get back to us with good results.
Thanks
