[Plugin: Lightbox Gallery] Does it work on php gallery code?

In order to use the gallery shortcode outside the loop, you need to specify the post id. Something like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery id="15"]'); ?>

Please try it out.

Hi, it does not work if I just put the <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[gallery id="15"]‘); ?> outside the loop. If I put [gallery] inside the post loop, then the lightbox works both in the loop and outside the loop.

When I just use the code outside the loop without using [gallery] in the post, the three images in my gallery drop to a single column. When I click on them, it opens the image in the browser and shows nothing else. Sorry, I don’t have a live site or I’d give a link.

I am using the Single Post Template Plugin from https://www.nathanrice.net/plugins/single-post-template/ so maybe that is causing a problem, but I can’t test without that plugin since I use it to display my other content.

I have this issue also…
Ideally I would like to call the gallery dynamic from within a loop for a specific category. However the code above and the following code pulled from wordpress codex on the gallery also doesn’t work

<?php
   				 //$gallery_shortcode = '[gallery id="' . intval( $post->ID) . '"]';

   				 //print apply_filters( 'the_content', $gallery_shortcode );
				 ?>

The above didn’t work exactly, it pulled all the gallery images on the page in a column and once clicking on the images, it went to the image page versus lightbox.

I also tried

<?php
   				  $gallery_shortcode = '[gallery]';

   				 print apply_filters( 'the_content', $gallery_shortcode );
				 ?>

And that didn’t work either..
Do you have a suggestion for pulling multiple galleries within the loop ?
Thanks in advance,
