Yes, this plugin died. I blew it away on 3 sites and replaced it with the plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/addfunc-head-footer-code/ . Then you simply go to https://fonts.google.com/ , spec the fonts you want, then copy & paste the stylesheet link code into the header. Super quick with no problems.

Clearing cookies did not fix the issue, and it still exists at v5.0.1.

Same here, but the plugin got stuck on 10 out of 18 links. Hitting the “Stop counting” button made the dialog box disappear.

(@ipstenu) Would you be okay with telling us your domain? I work for DreamHost and I can go look at your server logs to see if something’s amiss. Usually when it dies like that, I’ve seen it be a resource issue. It may be something I can bump for you ??

I’d love to, but they’re client sites, so I don’t want to publicize them here. Is there a way to contact you via another channel? BTW, is DH outsourcing support, particularly Live Chat, lately? I’ve run into brick walls there lately, and on one DreamPress site they couldn’t help, and you were who fixed us up for that site (WP in a subdir is what they can’t deal with).

Resource issues might also be why all of a sudden backups to DreamObjects aren’t finishing, and 2 of those sites are on DreamPress.

Thanks!

Excellent idea to apply masonry to specific pages. However, it’s a very strange specification to delete text on the page. It also deletes lightbox code (well, so far I’ve only tested with Magnific Popup). Sorry that I cannot use the plugin with those limitations.

Keep up the good work and let us know if you remove these limitations. Cheers!

Sweet! 8)

Wow, that was quick. All fixed up and looking great. Thanks!

When I posted I didn’t see 3.0.2 yet.

Just tried to update Wordfence 6.1.8 to 6.1.9 and got an update error:

Update Failed: Plugin update failed.

Tried again a few minutes later, but no joy. Tried a third time 5 min later, still no joy.

Hi Mika, wanted to say thanks for rolling in the .htaccess fix in 4.0.1. Cheers!

@dk878124 and @photocrati – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/lightbox-plus/ apparently is not in the repository anymore. On 12 April 2015 Wordfence found some bogus advertising code in some of the plugin files, and I reported this on the support page (which is now gone but I have screenshots): https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/lightbox-plus . That was for version 2.7.2 and I don’t think I ever got a response, but now I can’t confirm that because the plugin has disappeared. As far as I can tell there has been no version update since 2.7.2. Maybe it has been abandoned or maybe it is being worked on, but there is also no news from the developer, Dan Zappone, at https://www.23systems.net/wordpress-plugins/lightbox-plus-for-wordpress/ . However, you can download lightbox-plus.zip from that site and it is still version 2.7.2.

It would be unfortunate if the plugin has been abandoned because it has been excellent and has some useful options that no other lightbox I’ve run across so far has. The secondary lightbox option in particular can come in very handy. Of course, I could be wrong about capabilities because as of now there are 44,081 plugins in the repository and there may be a super one now out. Maybe there is even a fork. I haven’t researched it yet.

Unfortunately, too many half-baked lightbox plugins exist in the repository, so you can spend a lot of time testing them to discover their limitations. Too often these are deceptively crippled so that the repository version is not really usable, and these will come with built-in ads to a paid “premium” or “pro” version that gives a minimum level of functionality. Paid plugins with extra functionality can be fine if you need the extras. NextGEN Plus and Pro are good examples. Developers of good fully-functional plugins in the repository tend to get donations to support their good work, but developers of deceptively crippled plugins probably never do, and that’s what they deserve for their deception.

A competent and motivated developer could of course fork the Lightbox Plus Colorbox 2.7.2 code and keep it going.

Excellent, thank you!

@aldon – Thanks for the great idea to make Lightbox Plus Colorbox work separately on multiple NGG galleries on a page/post (it already works for native WordPress galleries). However, the code only works if you’ve got the “Lightbox Plus Colorbox – Base Settings” set to “Output Valid HTML5” AND you’ve put “rel” (instead of the default “lightboxplus”) in the “HTML Data attribute” box. If you use the default in Lightbox Plus Colorbox, for NGG in “Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects”, the code becomes:

data-lightboxplus="lightbox[gallery-%GALLERY_NAME%]"

@photocrati – Looks like NGG 2.1.31 fixed the issue I was having. It’s working now. Thanks!

This is yet another regression of the lightbox setting bug that has occurred numerous times since the plugin was taken over by Photocrati. It’s one of the regressions I always check for when a new version comes out because happens regularly. Sometimes the setting gets erased, sometimes it gets mangled, and other times the HTML code produced get mangled, which is what is happening this time.

In Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects > What effect would you like to use?

if you choose “Custom” and insert in the Code box any of the following:

rel=’lightbox[ ]’
rel=”lightbox[ ]”
rel=’lightbox[]’
rel=”lightbox[]”
rel=lightbox[]

the lightbox won’t appear and you’ll just get the large image without any lightboxing. For years now I’ve been using Lightbox Plus Colorbox, and am now at the current version 2.7.2. This lightbox was working fine with NGG 2.1.23 and broke again with 2.1.26.

You can see the result of the broken NGG code by viewing the HTML produced, which is incorrect and is why any lightbox using rel=lighbox[] is not appearing.

Marked the topic not resolved because it’s not yet resolved. Please don’t mark the topic resolved until it’s actually resolved.

Sometimes it takes a village! ?? Or as Linus’s Law states, “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.” I’m happy I was able to lend a couple of eyeballs.
