Hi, are you still experiencing an issue with SLB? If so, please provide the requested details and I would be glad to take a look.

Hi, please refer to your existing ticket on SLB’s official support forum to keep all discussion on your issue in one place.

Thanks.

Hi, this is the support forum for the Cornerstone plugin in WordPress’ official plugin directory.

It appears that you are using a different plugin that may be using the same name, as the details and screenshot you provided do not match this plugin. The plugin you are using may have included support information on the plugin’s own admin page. You may also be able to find information on getting support via the site where you downloaded/purchased the plugin.

Hi, SLB works on the home page when the “Enable on Home page” option is enabled.

If you are still experiencing an issue after enabling that setting, please provide:

• A screenshot of the site’s SLB settings page.
• A link to the theme used on the site.

Thanks.

Hi, it looks like WPML (or another plugin) is modifying the encoding of special characters in the link URLs on translated pages.

For example, the copyright character in the file name:

• Original URL: https://www.urbanpresents.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2007_SALVAJE-SELVA-Banos-y-Mendigo-Murcia-2007-?SALVAJE-SELVA-2.webp
• Corresponding URL on translated page: https://www.urbanpresents.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2007_SALVAJE-SELVA-Banos-y-Mendigo-Murcia-2007-©SALVAJE-SELVA-2.jpg

In the modified URL, the copyright symbol (?) is encoded as © which causes PHP functions such as parse_url() (used by WordPress) to interpret the the URL different, effectively segmenting the URL as you describe.

The modified file name may also be occurring because the translated page appears to be using JPG files, while the original page is using WEBP files. If the JPG files are generated by WordPress (or a plugin), the filename of the generated file is likely being encoded differently than the original file, leading to the issue noted above.

Other translated pages that use the WEBP files (example) appear to be displayed in the lightbox without issue. Switching to the WEBP files on the translated page you referenced may resolve your issue.

Beyond that, removing special characters (such as the copyright symbol) is highly recommended to avoid character-encoding issues altogether and to ensure the highest compatibility with all web browsers.

I’m marking this as “resolved” as the issue is not directly related to SLB, but rather due to higher-level character-encoding issues. If you are experiencing the issue with files with web-safe file names, please provide an updated link to a page that exhibits the issue, and I would be glad to take another look.

Hi, there does not appear to be any valid image links at the URL provided. Please provide a link to a specific page that exhibits the issue you are experiencing, and I would be glad to take another look.

Hi, you can use slb_activate() to enable the lightbox for areas outside of standard content areas such as post/page content, widgets, menus, etc.

See SLB’s Activation documentation for more details, including an example for displaying a post’s featured image in the lightbox.

Hi, for clarification, please provide more details on which screen was blank:

• On Favicon Rotator’s admin settings page, or other another page? A screenshot of the affected page would be helpful.

Also, when was the screen blank?

• After clicking on the “Add Browser Icon” button in the media popup?
• After clicking on the “Save Changes” button on Favicon Rotator’s admin settings page?
• Other?

Thanks.

Hi, to keep all discussion on this topic in one place, please add any feedback you have to the existing PHP 8 topic on SLB’s official support forum.

Thanks.

SLB uses metadata (title, caption, description, etc.) from WordPress’ media library for display in the lightbox. While SLB retrieves the media library metadata in bulk, WordPress’ own built-in functions may only operate on a single URL at a time, resulting in increased individual database queries while parsing image links on a page.

SLB limits requests and caches results as much as possible, but if support for attachment links and displaying media metadata in the lightbox are not important, then SLB may not be the right lightbox for your needs.

Hi, there do not appear to be any image links on the page you provided. Without links, there is nothing for visitors to click on and launch the lightbox.

Once valid links are added to SLB-supported content areas (e.g. post/page content, widgets, menus), the linked image will be displayed in a lightbox when the links are clicked.

See SLB’s documentation on adding image links to posts for more details.

If you are experiencing an issue after adding image links to your post, please provide a link to a specific page that exhibits the issue, and I would be glad to take another look.

Thanks.
