    Hey there!
    I need to use the Lightbox effect provided by NextGEN on simple text links, such us

    <a href="https://address/image.jpg">TEXT</a>

    is it possible?
    Right now, if I click on the link the image would open in a new window.

    Thank you!

  • Your link is right, have you tried to open your link on Chrome or IE? I′m having issues to open photos and galleries using Firefox.

    When I open a photo on my website using firefox, it open in another page ??

    @rinoadiary @lucasrizzi – We have a help guide here on some troubleshooting steps to take when your lightbox isn’t working as expected: https://www.imagely.com/galleries-opening-lightbox/

    There are some setting options on how your lightbox should open, listed under Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects: https://nimb.ws/ne8c3I

    I hope this helps! ??

    @imagely @lucasrizzi Thank you for your replies!
    I’m trying to use the Lightbox effect on php/html pages (not wordpress). Funny thing is it works fine with images that link to other images, but NOT with text that links to an image. 

    <a href="https://address/image.jpg"><img src="https://address/other-image.jpg"/></a>
This one works ^

<a href="https://address/image.jpg">TEXT</a>
This one doesn't ^

    Is there a specific script or file I need to use/include in the page?
    Thank you!

    @rinoadiary – Hmm… Depending on what other plugins you have installed to your site, generally our ‘apply to all’ setting under Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects, should work. Do you have any other plugins (or the theme) that have any lightbox features enabled? If you have the Jetpack plugin installed, that includes a lightbox feature that can sometimes interfere with our lightbox effect ‘open’ setting.

    Because it has been a week since your last reply, I am going to mark this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply again if you still have questions.

    Thanks!

    @imagely sadly I have not.
    I haven’t any other plugin or theme with a lightbox feature enabled, and I still haven’t figure out how to make this code work:

    <a href="https://address/image.jpg">TEXT</a>

    Funny thing is this other code works perfectly:

    <a href="https://address/image.jpg"><img src="https://address/other-image.jpg"/></a>
