I figured it out. I took the wp_head() command out of my header file when I was making my theme. I wanted all unnecessary/unknown stuff out of there so I just had the bare bones. Turns out that isn’t unnecessary; it’s what plugins look for when they insert scripts and stuff. I put it back in just before </head> and lightbox worked again.

Oh, got it figured out. I’d taken wp_head() out of my header file, I put it back in and it fixed the problem.

Make sure wp_head() is in your theme’s header file. I had the same problem on my site, lightbox wasn’t working, but it says in the Codex that wp_head() is what plugins look for when they’re inserting scripts and whatnot, so I put it back into my header file and lightbox worked again.

Nope, correction, I can’t just upload the old version. I don’t know why, but it didn’t change a thing. No errors, no fixes, it behaved exactly the same way, showing the image in the browser window instead of the lightbox effect.

Yup, it’s always worked in every site I’ve tried it on until recently. I installed the plugin from within WordPress, usually I’ve downloaded it and installed it manually, but never for any reason, I didn’t customize anything, I just did it that way.

The site it doesn’t work on doesn’t have a sidebar. The only change was the installation method, and this is a newer version than I have running on anything else. It even works on other blogs I have running on the same server.

I suppose I could just copy the folder from the earlier version and use it in the new site. I’m not doing anything complicated, just posting galleries.

Hi, I’m having the same problem here: https://animivirtus.com/portfolio/.

I checked your site you linked to and it looks like it’s been fixed, the lightbox effect is working, any idea what the problem was, or how I can fix it too?

Hello, I’ve been struggling with this same issue for about an hour or more now…I’ve tried importing via SimplePie, random WP functions, and then this method and it seems something is wrong with my use of every one of them.

This one gets the closest, but it messes up my main loop on the home page.

I’ve got a home page displaying by default, with a loop to grab its content. Then on that same page’s template there’s another loop using the code from the article above to pull the title from the most recent news post on a sort of page-sidebar. It seems the two loops are fighting, and if I take out the ‘recent news’ loop, the ‘home page’ one works, but if I add in the ‘recent news’ loop, it replaces the ‘home page’ content with the ‘recent news’ post content.

It’s pretty frustrating, and my PHP knowledge is basically nil. Any ideas?

Hmm…apparently I was wrong, the bloginfo(‘admin_email’) query doesn’t work. I thought it did but I changed it in the ‘Your profile’ page and it didn’t change on the page. Even after clearing the cache. Any thoughts? This site isn’t for me, it’d be nice if it wasn’t hard-coded so the user could change the data themselves.

EDIT: Never mind. It’s pulling it from ‘General Settings’, not ‘Your Profile’. Still looking for a solution to my original post though.

Yup. I’m not using the description, but yes, I’ve put details in the name and other fields and am using <?php the_author_meta(‘display_name’); ?> to get the name but it’s not showing up. Same for the ‘yim’ and ‘aim’ values. However, using <?php bloginfo(‘admin_email’); ?> does work to print and link the author’s email address.

I’m having a similar issue…I’m trying to call the author’s name, phone number and email address using the_author_meta(), but nothing shows up no matter what parameters I use. The information is filled in (I’m assuming I use the ‘Your Profile’ page for this) but nothing shows up. Any thoughts?

Hmm, so something maybe wrong with the WordPress code itself? Bummer. Oh well, I know what to try from now on if I have more errors like that one :P.

Woah, awesome! That worked! Thanks a lot! Now I’m uber curious…how is that the solution?
